Decision-Making Factors in the Housing Market for Vietnamese Immigrants in Poland

Abstract

The Vietnamese community currently living and working in Eastern European countries is a large community. For the host countries, this is a closed community with many mysteries about how to behave in life and work. Although 100% of these communities have to rent or buy houses to live in Europe, there is no research on issues related to this behavior. Factors influencing this behavior from a real estate market perspective are of interest to local businesses and indigenous people. The article uses the method of practical experience, expert interviews, and a review of scientific documents with three impacts: behavioral psychology, the migration policy of the Republic of Poland, and security factors. These are the most obvious impacts on this community’s decision to rent and buy a house. From the research results, the author has proposed solutions for stakeholders who are real estate investment and business enterprises, legislators, and social managers to better solve the relationship of housing for Vietnamese households’ community in Poland in particular, and in the world in general. In which, the most important issues are traditionally security, social and psychological harmony. The limitation of the article is that three factors are selected according to the author’s subjective will with many years of experience as a housing broker in Warsaw.
