The purpose of this study was to find the differences of household characteristics between homeowners and renters. The data was drawn from the 2002 Korean Labor and Income Panel Study and conducted by the Korea Labor Institute. 3,743 households were selected. The householder's mean age of homeowners was found to be 8 years older than those of renters, and the households in Seoul showed a higher rent ratio than those in other areas. The levels of household financial elements for homeowners were found to be higher than those of renters. Moreover, the levels of total real estate assets for homeowners were higher than those for renters, and the levels of total debt, and the debt from financial institutes were also higher than those for renters, reflecting that most Korean households may use loans from financial institutes for holding real estate assets. The results of the Chow-test showed that the group of homeowners and renters were significantly different in terms of socio-demographic and financial factors affecting the ratio of real estate assets to total asset.
