This report aims to clarify the Japanese demand of the existing house through a comparative survey of the homeowners in Japan and California, which is similarly affected by earthquakes. 75% of US respondents purchased existing houses and planned to live in it for only a short time. On the contrary, 87% of the Japanese purchased a new house and planned to live in it for a long time. We clarified that in the US, people move frequently, and thus purchase houses not only to live in but also as an investment object. Older houses are considered attractive, such as the natural hard wood floor, skillful carpenter work and traditional design in the US, whereas in Japan people suppose that houses lack safety construct in quality . Therefore, they tended to avoid the existing house in Japan. In addition that Japanese desire to live permanently at the same address and they rebuild their house every 25-40 years. Rebuilding was remarkable character of Japanese people, and rebuilding tendency increase since 15 years after new construction.
