Determining housing preferences is an important issue in terms of the housing market and economy. Different factors may affect housing choices in each country or region. The aim of this study is to conduct a study on determining the factors affecting people's housing preferences. In particular, examining the indicators on whether there are changes in people's housing preferences after the Covid-19 pandemic and then examining the factors that may be effective in people's housing preferences through survey application constitute the main focus of the study. Since there is no generally accepted scale in the literature for housing preference and it varies from country to country, the questions in the survey form were created by the researcher. Therefore, the questions asked to determine housing preference were determined by the researcher. Some results were obtained and interpreted by analyzing 300 survey forms collected as a result of the online survey application. The study is considered useful in providing practical information for the relevant literature.
