Abstract
This study analyzes the new housing demand, which is different from the usual housing demand for getting better conditions by moving one residence to others.
The research findings are as follows :
1) Residents moving inside Ibaraki Prefecture are the younger families with the householders in their thirties and moved from rented houses to detached ones. This is the usual pattern of housing demands for getting larger residences.
2) Most residents from the metropolitan area are those who come to get their new jobs in neighboring area because of getting the detached houses at the very cheaper prices, and many of the householders are around forties. But a lot of dissatisfactions are found among them. These are the dissatisfactions to the new jobs they have got and to the new houses. So the new houses do not come up to their expectations as permanent residences.
3) Families who come from metropolitan area after retiring jobs are satisfied with the new houses and wish to live as long as possible.
