Today’s Key Takeaway
Despite the government's "unlimited purchase-lease" pledge, LH's low 64.8% target achievement highlights systemic effectiveness issues. Meanwhile, liquidity from the KOSPI boom is pushing up housing prices, and experts are urging a shift from regulation-heavy policies to an focus on supply. Concurrently, efforts like the export of Seoul's K-Housing policy and improvements to mixed-housing complex remodeling indicate a move toward more layered housing policies.
