| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, the rate of existing home transaction exceeded that of new home in Japanese condominium housing market. However, the information on the quality of total management of condominium, which is an important factor for good living conditions, does not reach to buyers because of asymmetry of information.
Based on questionnaire surveys on buyers of existing condominium and comparative study of laws in France and United States, this research aimed to clarify what information is provided by real estate agency, what impact this information has and how we can improve our current situation by legal reform. As a result of this study, we conclude that the legislation that asks more responsibility to this agency is effective. However, even in France and United States that have had such legislation, there is still a problem of information asymmetry. Therefore, we need more empirical study on both of counties.
