Customer preferences on the real estate market have been a topic of scientific research for decades. Recently, a lot of attention has been given to the issue of housing attitudes and needs of chosen groups of buyers. Among them, a particular increase in interest in real estate meeting the needs of the elderly and young buyers has been observed. However, Polish literature lacks a holistic analysis of consumer preferences through their entire lives.The article recognizes the phenomenon of the changing preferences of potential real estate buyers depending on their current stage of life. All the age groups for a representative quota sample of Poznan citizens were asked to assess the importance of real estate cost factors. This allowed the housing attitudes of potential participants of the real estate market to be reconstructed in view of the changes in their adult lives. The conclusions drawn from the research might be useful for both academic discourse, and for practical application on the real estate market.

In this paper, the specificity of release and transformation processes of real estate markets in two postsocialist bloc countries, i.e. Bulgaria and Poland, was diagnosed. Comparative analysis of the conditions and directions of change was used as a tool to clarify the current situation, current status and characteristics of these markets. Comparison of Poland and Bulgaria also indicates the prospects for the development of real estate markets. The article is an attempt at assessing the condition and evolutionary progress of the residential segment. The authors also selected obstacles and factors promoting the development of real estate markets in the analyzed countries. This will either enable the critical assessment of changes observed in the past, or prove helpful in the context forecasting market phenomena.

The understanding of price-setting attributes operating on local real estate market is not only an essential element of property appraisers’ work, it can also greatly assist the professional activities of real estate agents. However, its primary importance is for the market – facilitating the decision-making processes of developers (developers become aware of the buyers’ expectations and preferences, making it possible to more accurately form market offers and pricing strategy). With the use of computer-assisted interviewing, a questionnaire was designed to find out students’ preferences in the housing market of large Polish cities. The research was undertaken at six universities: Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poznan University of Economics, Wroclaw Medical University, Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz, and President Stanislaw Wojciechowski Higher Vocational State School in Kalisz. At each university, the survey was carried out on two groups of students: one included those who had chosen specializations related to the real estate market, the other one – students who did not explore the subject of the real estate market in their field of studies. The research can make a significant contribution to the problems of real estate market analysis. The results are the first part of a broader concept of research, which ultimately aims to internationalize the findings.

Di-(2-hydroxy-l-phenazinyl)methane, Phenazines, Bacterial Constituents, Pseudomonas aureofaciensThe structure elucidation of di-(2-hydroxy-l-phenazinyl)methane from Pseudomonas aureofaciens is described. In addition to the phenazine derivatives isolated earlier from this bacterium 2,3,4-trihydroxyphenazine-l-carboxylic acid and phenazine-1,6-dicarboxylic acid could be identified.
