Introduction
Demand is a very important law for becoming a successful business because we need to know what determinants effects customers to buy a particular good, then we can choose the right way to sell it .
Body
The relationship between demand and price is simple: when the price of good rises, the quality demanded will fall. Similarly, when the price of good falls, the quantity demanded will rise. To explain this more we need to know that there are two reasons for this law: Firstly, the purchasing power which leads to the income effect concept. Secondly, having related goods leads us to the substitution effect.
So based on that, we have several factors that affect demand in Oman:
1- Price - If the price of houses increases then

If the supply of rented accommodation is less, then there is an increase in the price of rented apartments. Therefore, in the long run people find that it is cheaper to buy houses than to live in a rented accommodation. Hence, then they will tend to purchase a house. Thereby, increasing the net demand for houses.”
The factors that affect supply are:
1- Price
2- Cost- for example The alternative to buying a house is renting. If the cost of renting to buying rises, we would expect to see a fall in demand.
3- Size of market, the more options you have the cheaper prices you get.
4- Price of related good
5- Technology- this factor isn’t playing a major role in the process as in country we intensive labour with intensive capital.
6- Consumer expectations, I mean here that people normally wouldn’t by buy when house prices are going to decrease knowing that they will buy it later

There have been great developments in the sector and many investors are earning good money from their investments. Market, demand and supply are key issues that have impacted the growth of the real estate sector. These factors have helped determine the pattern of allocation of interests and resources in land utilization. In addition, these factors have impacted demand and supply shape and elaborate how technology demand and prices substitute as a change in price of resources.”
Based on that, we need to analyse the rent-control-policy in country.
First, there is a freedom in market entry and exit, this helps with having variety of housing supplies. When the size of market is bigger, the more choices we have.
On the other hand, having rent-control-policy distort market mechanism but it is important to organize and protect both the landlord and the tenant rights and duties.
Government rules and legislation are existed to impact the supply and demand of housing in a number of ways. For example the regulations of planning approval of new house building may discourage investors/buyers. On the other hand some better housing policies will encourage building business and related services.
Here I elaborate on few terms in a regular rent contract in Oman:

During the 1920s, the United States was leading the world in economic growth. However, during Herbert Hoover Presidency the United States experienced the largest and longest economic crisis in history, which was referred to as the Great Depression. There were many explanations and arguments to what caused the Great Depression to take place. Some economists argued that the fall back of the agricultural sector contributed to the Great Depression. Some blamed the decrease in taxes and absent of government regulations, which supported the belief that markets were self-regulating.
Lowe's is the second largest home improvement retailer in the United States. It holds about 6 percent of the $700 billion home improvement market and ranks seventh largest U.S. retailer overall. More than 1,250 Lowe's stores in 49 states serve do-it- yourself customers, do-it-for me customers using store's installation services, and commercial customers, including professional contractors, electricians, landscapers, painters, and plumbers. Lowe's carries 40,000 products for home decorating, maintenance, repair, remodeling, and construction. Lowe's installation services generate approximately 6 percent of the corporation's total revenue.
The main purpose of social rented dwellings is to provide the opportunity of decent housing for the low-income. Therefore the target group is mainly the immigrants. Since the public housing is kept under control by the government, they might decide to allocate dwellings in a certain neighborhood exclusively to non- immigrants. Housing associations can subtly refuse to register immigrant families by saying that no large dwellings are currently vacant or by asking high registration fees. (van Kempen, Schutjens, van Weesep, 2002).
4.1) Low Wages and Lack of Capacity Low-cost houses can be found in some parts of the U.K. Unfortunately, the wages are too low, thus leading to the collapse of property ownership. The construction of more homes has been limited by inadvertent construction where few people have the interest and capacity to build new structures. In addition, private developers bid for land based on the price they intend to sell the newly constructed houses. Therefore, the construction activities reduce once the prices fall.
The government had to subsidize housing projects using taxpayer’s money. Thus, maintaining status quo is inefficient and against the Constitutional right of all Americans to have better housing facilities. 2. Intensify enforcement of the housing
Affordable housing is a necessary requirement in life for people who accept low income and has a good effect for society. According to Tran, (2015) view that, affordable housing is a worthy resource which has great potentialities in the economic system and it has contributed enormously to change the appearance of the metropolis as well as the countryside. The target of affordable housing gives the support to the community. For example, affordable housing can give us benefit in all aspects such as it brings profit in commercial enterprise, improving the standard of animation and an affordable housing can bring down some of the problems which related to the surroundings. As a consequence, the government should make more affordable lodging for
The dramatic housing price started in the last 1990`s in many countries like London and United Kingdom. 80,000 children are living in temporary accommodation. We can say that London housing is in a state of crisis never because they are struggling to deliver enough homes for the current population. United Kingdom has
Also, home ownership increases the amount of care people have upon the property owned (Gordon 2004). However, one disadvatantage that affordable housing poses is that more and more people are being priced out of home ownership (Shelter 2015). This means that the rent of house increases and more people are competing for every single
Price and demand of an item is significant viewpoint which must be considered by Toyota in promoting economy as price and demand impact purchaser what to purchase. Customer’s demands all the more in lower price and less at higher price. Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the greatness by which customers modify the amount of some item that they buy in light of progress in the price of that item Boyes and Melvin (2012). Price elasticity of demand will help Toyota to decide the amount an

DEMAND CURVE Demand is defined as the different quantities people are willing to buy at different prices. As the price of good increases the demand decreases and vice versa. The law of demand states shows an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. The demand curve shows the relationship between the quantity of a good a consumer is willing to buy and the price of the good. The equation for that shows the relationship between the quantity demanded and price is as given below: QD =
Normally, consumers have unique needs that are not similar all the times. Therefore, the company must develop products that can address the unique concerns of the consumers. Evidently, Apple Inc. has been successful in the creating variety of products. However, pricing of the Apple Inc. products tend to limit the ability of buyers to purchase the products. While the company might justify the price of the products, setting the prices too high limits the ability of the willing buyer to purchase the
are all the economic factors. The ability of people or purchasing power of Apple products is targeted from medium to high class. Economic factors effect Apple Company’s business process as Apple is recognized internationally. The products components that the company gets from foreign suppliers play an important role because of the exchange rates and currency differences.

This is also where price mechanism takes place because any changes in demand and supply, will affect the price, and eventually balancing the demand to be equal to supply. This is the reason why consumers and producers have no control over the price, and in this situation, everyone is considered as price takers. This causes a horizontal line in the demand curve for the firm’s product(s), as can be seen in Figure 1 (b). Figure 1 There are barely any barriers to enter this market, making it easy to enter and exit according to the firm’s capabilities.
