Today's core trend is the full-fledged implementation of "Equity-Accumulating (Shared-Equity) Public Housing". The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has unveiled an affordable public housing model in Goyang Changneung for December where buyers can move in by paying just 25% of the sale price, significantly lowering the barrier to homeownership for young adults and newlyweds. In addition, the government is driving policy initiatives to substantially increase the supply of social and public housing, such as expanding the share of long-term public rental housing to over 10% by 2030. For cooperative-type housing like regional housing associations, institutional flexibility is being secured as projects in Seoul restart due to relaxed land acquisition criteria (95% to 80%).
