This research aims to identify and measure the factors that influence customers' behavior intention to purchase real estate in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

In particular, the location in the context of Ho Chi Minh City is the most influential factor, so it strongly confirms the research of Opoku and Abdul-Muhmin (2010), Wang and Li (2006), Yam and McGreal (2010), Chia et al.
