This study is aimed to understand if the demanders for house mortgage loan have a different preference depending upon their household characteristics and residential characteristics when they choose house mortgage loan commodities. As part of this study, the present author analyzed the modes of the demanders' preference for commodities elements (interest rating method, loan period, loanamount, repayment methods, and LTV) depending upon the demanders' household characteristics (sex, age, number of household members, educational level, and monthly income) and residential characteristics (possession or non-possession of houses, residence kinds, and residence types), with a view to provide houses loan suppliers with basic materials for setting up various houses loan commodities development and marketing strategies.
Before everything else, theoretical consideration was implemented based on preceding researches, and a questionnaire survey was conducted on 278 customers of three banks located in Seoul City and Gyeonggi Province, with a view to investigate into if there is any significant difference in the effect of household characteristics on the customers' preferences for the elements and importance of house mortgage loan commodities.
The following is a summary of the findings of this study.
When an analysis is made of the customers' preferences for house mortgage loan commodity elements, there is a significant difference in interest rating methods depending upon such household characteristics as the customers' occupation and loan experiences. There is also a significant difference in the loan period depending on the customers' marriage or non-marriage and in an appropriate loan amount depending upon the customers' educational level, occupation, monthly income, house size, residence period, sex, and financial debts. There is still a significant difference in repayment methods depending on the customers' occupation, loan experiences, and financial debts, and in LTV depending on their age, occupation, marriage or non-marriage, loan experiences, and financial debts.
When an analysis is made of the importance of house mortgage loan commodity elements, there is a significant difference in interest rating methods depending upon the customers' loan experiences. There is also a significant difference in the loan period depending on the customers' occupation, in an appropriate loan amount depending upon the customers' age and satisfaction with the loan, in repayment methods depending on the customers' satisfaction with the loan, and in LTV depending on customers' house kinds and marriage or non-marriage.
Listed below are the suggestions from this study after a positive analysis is made.
First, loan commodities differentiated according to household characteristics are needed to be developed since there is a significant difference in the elements of house mortgage loan commodities depending upon the characteristics of households. In other words, it is suggested that when the government intensifies the conditions of house mortgage loan in order to stabilize real estate prices, financial institutions are required to develop various differentiated loan commodities and marketing strategies in order to gain an advantage in non-interest items instead of interest rating methods, loan period, repayment methods, and loan amount.
Second, it is proposed that financial institutions should offer plans in a demander-centered way to reduce the difference in demanders preferences and the current state of traded house mortgage loan commodities after analyzing from various viewpoints the interest rating methods, loan period, and repayment methods where the said difference is exposed.
In the future, researches of this kinds shall expand their scope to comprise the non-banking industry sector, understand which house mortgage loan commodities the customers prefer, and compute and measure how much effect household characteristics have on the customers' preferences for commodities elements.
