This study examined the effect of homeownership and homeownership desirability on residential satisfaction. By using the '2016 Korea Housing Survey', we categorized households into four types: 1) those who own a home with homeownership desirability; 2) those who own a home without homeownership desirability; 3) those who do not own a home with homeownership desirability; and 4) those who do not own a home without homeownership desirability. The study area is the whole country and the sample size is 19,219. By running t-test analyses and multiple regression analyses, we found that the level of residential satisfaction and the influences of factors affecting residential satisfaction differ among the four types. In particular, the results shows that homeownership desirability can lead to differences in factors affecting residential satisfaction. This study is limited by not analyzing homeownership desirability more systemically and not using physical data for residential environment. Nevertheless, this study provides insights on designing housing policy to consider homeownership desirability.
