“…The high importance given to building quality and exterior materials to consumers supports previous findings in Chile, Jordan and Indonesia (Al-Momani, 2003;Greene & Ortuzar, 2002;Rahadi et al, 2015b). The findings are also consistent with previous studies in China and Malaysia which indicate that neighbourhood quality attributes (such as safety and cleanliness) are particularly important to consumers (Kam et al, 2018;Wang and Li, 2004). However, in contrast to these two studies and others (Tan, 2012a;Thaker & Sakaran, 2016), consumers in Saudi Arabia had less regard for location attributes that related to access/distance to amenities and public transport.…”

“…Research in China also found some neighbourhood and location attributes to be more important to consumers than intrinsic dwelling attributes (Wang & Li, 2006). This finding is also echoed by Tan (2011a; and Kam et al (2018) who found that safe and secure neighbourhoods were particularly important to Malaysian consumers. Consumers then rated cleanliness of the neighbourhood and neighbourhood quality in overall rank order 5 and 6 respectively, indicating a high level of importance for these attributes.…”

“…Al-Momani (2003) also found that a high quality neighbourhood was one of the top ten attributes for Jordanian housing consumers. Studies in Turkey (Dokmeci et al, 1996) and Malaysia (Kam et al, 2018;Tan, 2013) also found consumers to be concerned with the cleanliness of the neighbourhood. Consumers then placed similar levels of importance on land not being flood prone (rank 9) and on the air quality in the environment (rank 10).…”

Due to rapid urbanisation, population growth and limited supply of housing, the housing sector in Saudi Arabia is facing significant challenges. There have been attempts to provide largescale housing projects to combat this issue. However, there are concerns that short-term policies to provide large quantities of housing can result in low-quality units which are underside by consumers. Therefore, understanding consumer preferences with regard to housing is crucially important if housing projects are to be successful in the long term. This paper explores consumer preferences for housing attributes in Saudi Arabia and compares these against the views of property professionals. Data was gathered via quantitative surveys from 752 housing consumers and 101 property practitioners from across Saudi Arabia. Descriptive analysis and the Mann-Whitney U test are used to determine the mean importance of the housing attributes and to compare the findings from each group. The results of the study provide an analysis on the importance of various housing attributes and highlights similarities and disparities in opinions. The analysis found significant differences between consumers' and property practitioners' views on what consumers believe are important housing attributes. Given this lack of alignment, the findings should offer housing providers with a better understanding of consumer preferences in the Saudi Arabia context.
