Description The need for high economic development across the entire globe and Sub-Saharan Africa in particular has led to the awareness of the need to increase the housing base across the continent. The astronomical increase in population and urbanisation and its associated problems of accommodation call for the need to provide good housing for the people of Ghana; the provision of which could depends largely on the availability of mortgage facilities. However, obtaining the right mortgage is as crucial as obtaining the right home, yet buyers seemingly do not invest as much time and effort in a mortgage search as in house searches. It is against this backdrop that this study investigates factors considered by households before acquiring mortgage loans. A questionnaire was administered within the Accra metropolis, the area of Ghana with the most mortgage loan providers. We employed the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to analyze the thought processes of households when making their decisions on acquiring a mortgage loan.
