Mortgage Terms: Market Niche Definition

Market niche

Definition

A particular combination of loan, borrower and property characteristics that lenders use in setting prices and underwriting requirements.

These characteristics are believed to affect the default risk or cost of the loan.

As examples, borrowers who don't intend to occupy the house they purchase pay more than those who do, and borrowers who refinance only the balance on their existing loan pay less than those who take "cash out".
