Asymmetric information refers to the unequal distribution of information between buyers and sellers, leading to potential market inefficiencies. The study aims to identify the impact of financial, design, and environmental factors on residential property buying decisions and role of asymmetric information may in these relationships. The research employs a quantitative approach and collects data through a survey questionnaire administered to households in the target areas. Employing Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for rigorous data analysis, including descriptive statistics, frequency, factor, and multiple regression analysis, the study meticulously examines the interplay between financial, design, and environmental factors in residential property buying decisions, underpinning the pivotal role of asymmetric information. Results indicate that while financial considerations play a pivotal role in residential property buying decision, the presence of asymmetric information affect the strength of these associations. This suggests a more subtle influence of these predictors under the lens of information asymmetry. The study's findings can inform policymakers, developers, and real estate agents about the significance of reducing information asymmetry to promote efficient property markets. The study advocates for enhanced transparency and accessible information sharing, guiding regulations and practices that ensure buyers are well-informed. This approach also reinforces trust and fairness, underlining the key impact of informed decision-making on market dynamics.
