Since 2010, as the number of unsold apartments has increased as population has decreased, we started to introduce convenience facilities that reflect the needs and desires of apartment buyers. Therefore, construction companies are introducing indoor golf driving range and indoor fitness center as basic facilities in apartment complexes.
Thus, the consumer's desire for apartments is gradually changing. So, In this study, we tried to derive appropriate marketing strategy direction by grasping factors that consumers consider important when choosing apartment and needs and characteristics of changing consumers
The factors that are important for consumers to select apartments are set as facilities, internal structure, external structure, environmental factors, social factors, and economic factors. These factors have a significant effect on purchase satisfaction, and whether purchase satisfaction has an important effect on purchase intention. We surveyed the residents of Daegu and Gyeongbuk area.
The PLS-SEM was used to test the hypothesis that selection influencing factors were important for purchase satisfaction. To verify the mediating effect, the mediating effect was verified using the PLS structural equation model
The results of the study are summarized as follows.
First, the subjects of the survey showed that the apartment facility factor (5.215) was the most important factor when selecting apartment. Next, external structural factors (3.464), environmental factors (2.382), internal structural factors (2.464) were considered to be important.
It can be seen that among the various factors, there are significant influences on the choice of apartment in my gymnasium, resting space, landscaping and green space, parking convenience, easiness of arrangement and direction, interior finishing material, interior storage.
Secondly, it seems that the purchase of apartments is more important factor(facility, internal / external structure, environmental factors) than the economic factors such as the purpose of investment, apartment management costs, etc.
Generally, when buying an apartment, there is a tendency to choose an apartment that suits the various environments in which the consumer is located, such as his / her own funds and family environment. At this time, the factors that have the greatest influence are convenience and convenience of parking. So, Construction companies need to secure sufficient parking space for apartment construction in addition to convenience facilities, surrounding facilities, and vehicle size.
Further research needs to be conducted on additional types of convenient facilities and cultural life patterns in response to consumer changes. And it is necessary to investigate the influence factors of apartment residents who have been constructed according to the results of the research.
