Abstract: Over 400 corporate relocation transactions from forty-one states were examined to identify factors affecting variable relocation costs. Analysis of covariance disclosed that corporate relocation costs could be significantly reduced over time by not remodeling substandard properties, fully evaluating the impact of local/regional economic conditions on market value, and adopting policies encouraging employees to purchase homes without swimming pools and homes with smaller lots.
