| description | The purpose of this study is to determine first home purchase decision among middle-income
earners in Selangor, Malaysia. Factors such as finance, location, neighbourhood, and structural
attributes were investigated. Data was collected using a probabilistic sampling method,
particularly a stratified random sampling technique. The descriptive approach, correlation, and
multiple regression analysis are used to analyse the data. This research found two factors that
influenced the residential property purchase decision among middle-income earners in Selangor,
Malaysia, which are financial and neighbourhood. By understanding the motivation behind
purchasing their first home, middle-income earners would be able to gauge the factors that
matter most before purchasing the property. |
