This study attempts to clarify the differences between residents' awareness of the values of their homes in suburban residential areas and the status quotation of existing-home circulation. Two surveys were conducted for this study, those are Web search of existing detached house resale market and questionnaires to residents assess the value perception of their homes. As results 1) As regards factors for residents when buying a home, clean air, the amount of greenery, state of repair, etc. were all deemed important, although the information provided for home resale market seldom refers to such criteria; 2) residents within local district development schemes thought the environment surrounding their homes would influence their value3) the towns/streets that showed a higher ratio of home resale were categorized as ones that hosted so-called average hot-selling line homes, ones with low price homes, or ones included in local district development schemes.
