Abstract

An apartment is both a consumption and an investment good. The aim of this article is to present a holistic approach to the assessment of housing demand. The residential demand may be divided into purely proprietary demand combined with a form of allocation of savings, active investing in property that generates income from rents, and speculations, consisting in buying and waiting for increase of prices in the future. These three types of demand affect each other. In their analysis, the authors rely on the basic microeconomic and financial models and those associated with the market of housing properties, that is the consumer model, interim consumption, and the financial investor. On the basis of calculations, a housing demand on the primary hosing market was established for the six largest cities of Poland.
