Abstract

This study assesses the decision factors for house purchasing as part of the design model of a technology-mediated decision aid for first-time homebuyers. Technology-mediated assistance in house purchasing decision is evidenced in many developed countries, however, in Malaysia less study was found although the decision challenges faced by first-time homebuyers are undeniable. 19 decision variables under four group of housing attributes, namely, locational, neighborhood, structural and social cultural, are tested. A factor analysis approach is used on 320 case study data of first-time potential homebuyers in Klang Valley.This study finds that first-time homebuyers perceived locational and structural attributes as needs, where as neighborhood and social cultural attributes as preferences.
