The total number of houses built exceeded the number of houses bought by the buyers led to the problems of unsold houses nationwide Therefore, there is a need to determine the factors that would influence potential house buyers to buy a house in order to understand this issue. Thus, the purpose of the study was to identify the determinants of house buyers' purchase decisions in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, a case of PMBK Development Sdn. Bhd. (PMBKD). Specifically, the study wants to investigate whether several variables such as quality, price, location, promotion, and corporate image are the factors that influence the house buyers' purchase decision when deciding to buy a house in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Two (2) research objectives were outlined in order to answer the research questions that arose in this study; to examine the determinants of the purchase decision of house buyers when considering buying house in Kota Bharu, Kelantan and to recommend strategies that can be used by house developers to attract house buyers to buy. A total of 389 residents of Kota Bharu, Kelantan participated in this study through questionnaires distributed using Google Form format as the country was facing the Covid-19 pandemic that made face to face questionnaires distribution on the field quite impossible to execute.
