The study analyzed the consciousness of mortgage loan of the prospective home-buying households using self-administered questionnaire surveys. The sample of the survey was chosen by convenience sampling method to be 366 prospective home-buying households in Ulsan, with the households head's age being younger than 50. These are the results. First, approximately 80% of the respondents had plans to buy a house through self-support and loan. Second, the consciousness of mortgage loan was relatively low, but the willingness to use it was very high. Third, the need for mortgage loan was relatively high, especially the need for specialists to facilitate the information circulation. Lastly, the awareness and need for mortgage loan were significantly influenced by the family and housing characteristics of households including family life cycle stages, the structure of dwelling, tenure type and monthly household income. It is necessary to provide potential house buyers with appropriate education and information on housing financing, the change of interest rate, and the effects of various financing packages.

We examine the methods to increase MBS values given parameters of default risks of individual mortgages and their correlation, and analyze the effects of these parameters on the efficiency of the methods. First, the values of MBS can be improved when they are comprised of low-correlation mortgages regardless of specific forms of investors' utility functions. Second, the values of MBS can also be raised even after their components mortgages are determined. More specifically, when investors' utilities are heterogeneous, CMO's of a less risky tranche and a riskier tranche are highly valued compared with pass-through securities of two identical tranches. When investors' utilities are homogeneous(risk averse), however, the latter meets the needs of investors better than the former does. Third, it can be shown that the efficiency of the methods in this paper is an increasing function of default risks of mortgage loans or of the correlation between them, and a decreasing function of the amount of the price fall of MBS when in default.

The purpose of the study is to propose the way to activate title insurance in Korea. Title insurance in Korea is at first stage in development cycle. Companies which handle title insurance mainly operate in the services related to real estate. Recently in Korea, Mortgage loan is introduced in market. Mortgage loans may give a new motive in title insurance market. In Korea, registration record in real estate does not prove real ownership and this point can make title insurance spread widely in property transaction. Title insurance offers financial protection against these and other covered title hazards. There are two basic kinds of title insurance: Lender or mortgagee protection, owner's coverage. For the prosperity of title insurance, We should decrease a financial fee, business cost and prepare a on-stop service in a real estate brokerage.

It is frequently said that mortgage-backed securities (MBS) of different security designs are issued in an attempt to meet the varying needs and expectations of investors. If this is true indeed, MBS of complicated risk-return characteristics are likely to be priced higher than MBS of simple risk-return characteristics we. We test this implication by establishing a recombining binomial interest rate prepayment model with a burnout effect embedded. More specifically, we compare the relative values (utilities) of a pass-through and a PAC- Support collateralized mortgage obligation(CMO), and theoretically show why and how the CMO is more highly valued than is the pass-through. The model is established such that mortgage prepayment is a function of the current value of, and the past path of, the mort-gage market rate. Since we work on not the total value of the two MBS but the value of each tranche of either MBS, the test results could be robust to slightly different versions of similar tests, which may be done in the future.
