During the COVID-19 outbreak, most individuals were more focused on their everyday lives indoors than outdoors. The behavior of people's housing demands has altered from the original to lessen the pandemic and the possibility to connect others. During the COVID-19 outbreak, most individuals were more focused on their everyday lives indoors than outdoors. The behavior of people's housing demands has altered from the original to lessen the pandemic and the possibility to connect others. There were 399 people in the computational research sample group. The level of the factor was analyzed by preliminary statistics and grouping elements with elemental analysis. The results of the research showed that the top three factors affecting the needs of consumers were the overall quality of the house. The location of the residence is convenient for living, and there will be demand for housing in the future. The average scores were 4.42, 4.35, and 4.31, respectively.
