Abstract  Differed from one-way mobility pattern in developed countries, migrants in developing countries tend to rural-urban circular migration. It's a widespread phenomenon that migrants transfer housing investment from destination to origin. Based on the representative data from a random sampling questionnaire survey of migrants in Fujian province in 2015 and investigation materials in Henan province and Anhui province, this paper attempts to explore the time-space patterns of migrants' housing investment behavior in their origin places, using the method of survival analysis, spatial visualization and qualitative research. The results show that migrants' housing investment in their origin places is a kind of typical multi-locational livelihood in the process of circular migration, and the rate of building houses in their origin villages is obviously higher than that of purchasing houses in their origin counties. However, because of many migrants still choose to migrate after building or purchasing houses, a large number of above mentioned houses are idle. In terms of temporal characteristics, there is less housing investment behavior before 2005 and has been increasing since 2005. Migrants need spend more time to purchase a house than to build a house in their origin places. Furthermore, housing policies play an important role in migrant's housing investment behavior in their origin places.
