Nowadays, the market economy has achieved further development, however, some problems in housing ares are followed. It is clear that a large quantity of land resources and loan resources have been abused and wasted. This article attempts to dig into the history of public goods and provides a full understanding of the concept and natures of it to demonstrate that housing is quasi-public goods with the attributes of public goods such as being impartible, noncompetitive and non-exclusive.It analyzes four factors that have a great effect on supply and demand. They are the supply subjects’ degree of maturity, supply environment, information asymmetry and consumers’ relative income. Through a deep analysis about these four dimensions, the thesis presents some feasible measures the government should invest efforts in, such as establishing a pluralistic-supplied pattern that is led by government, minimizing the information asymmetry and encouraging the consumers to be rent-oriented and rational in consumption. The measures provided above supplement each other as indicated that the government will still have a major influence on solving housing supply problems, the reduction of factors affecting information asymmetry will have this issue more easily settled and the reasonable housing consumption will push the demand back to rational from an objective point of view.
