Family House-Purchase Decision Model Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process

Abstract:

Housing is the basic livelihood of the residents, and the residents need to consider many factors include the price, the quality, and the surrounding environment in the house-purchase decision. Aiming at the actual problem of family house-purchase decision, this paper established a family house-purchase decision model based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Concretely, a hierarchical chart of family house-purchase is constructed based on four factors, i.e., housing price, housing quality, supporting facilities and traffic convenience degree, and then the decision method based on AHP is given to rank the order for the alternative commercial housings. It will provide the decision reference for feasible and effective decision-making of family house-purchase.
