In housing markets, the searching conditions of house buying are similar to those of house renting. Therefore, this reveals the experience of house renting may extend to that of house buying. However, there is little literature discussing the matter. This paper focuses on the influence of house buying and renting experience on a homebuyers search behavior. The data acquired from ”Taiwan Housing Demand Survey” includes the homebuyers and the home searchers from the time of 2003Q1 to 2004Q1, using survival analysis to study the homebuyer's search behavior. The results show that the two hypotheses are supported. The influences of prior house buying on search duration, and which of prior house renting experience on search duration are different. When a house renting experience buyer purchases the pre-sale house or existing house, he would has longer duration than non-experience buyer and house buying experience buyer. And only the house buying experience would have positive relation with a pre-sale house homebuyer's search duration. |
