“…Dusancky & Koç (2007 performed an econometric analysis of housing demand data from Florida and they found that an nt increase in housing prices increased the demand for owner-occupied housing services. Barrios García & Rodríguez Hernández (2008) presented a study of housing demand in Spain with respect to the type of tenure and building using a mixed logit model. Ng, Skitmore & Wong (2008) 2011proposed an alternative method to hedonic price approach that allows to estimate the renters' marginal willingness to pay for apartment characteristics based on residential mobility.…”

In the contemporary era, housing sector overwhelmingly comes into prominence more than ever along with manifold triggers such as advances in construction technology, migration density from rural to urban areas, restructuring of seismic territories, urban transformation, and substantial changes in the socioeconomic structure. The creation of more efficient living areas can be enabled by paying careful attention to the underlying changes, establishing the increase on the well-being, and more specifically, interpreting the reasons for housing demand of potential consumers. In that context, this study aims to determine the factors affecting motives for the housing demand in a Turkish province, Erzurum through a questionnaire. The questionnaire addresses the potential motives for housing demand into four main categories: owner occupancy, children's occupancy, rental income, and investment planning. The cross-sectional data of the questionnaire were analyzed using the multinomial logit model. The estimation results showed that the motives for housing demand were mostly effected by occupation and age of the respondents, however several other factors were found to have a significant effect on their motives.

“…The financial deregulation of the mortgage market and favourable lending conditions have contributed to the rapid growth of mortgage credit. The surge in housing prices, especially in the cities, has resulted in the exclusion of young and low-income groups from ownership (Barrios García & Rodríguez Hernández, 2008). In addition, while the rental market has been liberalized in 1985, the private rental sector has not become an affordable alternative for low-income families and young people unable to purchase, and the social rented sector is too marginal (Pareja Eastaway & San Martín, 2002).…”

The housing tenure structure has long been associated with different forms of welfare state capitalism in Western Europe. However, with the rise of owner-occupancy, this association has not been so straightforward. An alternative view is to view housing policies that promote owner-occupancy for households to acquire assets, as an attempt by the state to reform social welfare systems. The politics of welfare reform are related to the discourses of homeownership ideology. The ownership of (housing) assets agenda serves as a means to change the relationship between state, market and individual households. This view is mostly based on the British experience and this paper seeks to broaden it by examining the Netherlands and Spain. The paper shows differences, but also that housing policies play an important role in driving towards or maintaining market-dominated solutions. Housing is used to either reorient towards or maintain a welfare system where asset ownership and market dependency is deemed more appropriate than secure income and public expenditure.

“…The estimated income elasticities of demand for owning a dwelling in Sydney are at the low end compared to the range of (0.4-1.5) in the US and (0.1-1.0) in the UK markets (Ermisch, 1996;Rapaport, 1997). The differences in income elasticities of demand for housing across countries are likely due to different housing markets and the way in which household income is measured in this paper with single-year income tending to underestimate income elasticities of demand (Barrios García and Rodríguez Herná ndez, 2008).…”
