The article discusses housing demand. We focus on disequilibrium of a urban
housing market and location derived segmentation. Based on literature review, we identify
reasons behind housing mobility and housing location choice at household level. In the second part of the article we focus on the interaction between housing demand of urban development
patterns (especially spatial aspects of it). The main objective of this paper is to show the
relationship between two major dimensions of individual housing demand: (i) mobility choice
and (ii) location choice and spatial transformations within the metropolitan area. The article is
a critical analysis of the literature. We attempt to identify the main factors affecting the
demand for housing in a specific metropolitan area. Previous studies point to a number of
factors affecting the residential mobility of households. The most important are: the life cycle,
relative deprivation, social capital, gender and economic situation. Studies show that these
factors are correlated and are subject to mutual interactions. Reflections on diversity and
segmentation of metropolitan housing markets lead to the conclusion that the local housing
market can be seen as a nested structure. Each metropolitan housing market is divided into
submarkets − based on location and housing services quality. The housing search is therefore
sequential and hierarchical in nature. Among the most important factors determining the
household choice of location within the local housing market are: economic capital, social
status, spatial relationships, lifestyle, racial segregation and the quality of schools. The
synthesis of the results leads to the conclusion that the demand for housing is related to certain
spatial phenomena occurring in metropolitan areas. We highlight four aspects in particular:– – communication system (mass transit, road system, parking in the city center),
– spatial order, – access to schools and public services (excessive density of housing and inadequate social
infrastructure),
– urban sprawl.
Due to the information asymmetry and inelastic supply in housing market subsegments it can
cause persistent imbalances and emergence of deprived areas within the urban structure.
