With Preferential Rates, Minimum Annual Interest of 2.95~3.25% Depending on Maturity
Korea Housing Finance Corporation (HF, President Choi Junwoo) announced on the 28th that it will lower the interest rates for the "Bogeumjari Loan," a long-term, fixed-rate, amortized mortgage loan, by 0.1 percentage points in July.
Accordingly, the annual interest rate for the "Akkim-e Bogeumjari Loan" will range from 3.95% (10 years) to 4.25% (50 years).
If additional preferential rates (up to 1.0 percentage point) are applied for low-income youth, newlywed households, socially disadvantaged groups (such as people with disabilities and single-parent families), and victims of Jeonse fraud, the lowest annual interest rate will range from 2.95% (10 years) to 3.25% (50 years).
An HF official explained, "We have lowered the Bogeumjari Loan interest rates to minimize the interest burden on ordinary and end users, reflecting the recent trend of declining Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) funding rates."
