Review: Competition and Winning Cut-offs
Recent Market Trends: In April, the national first-priority subscription rate for apartments was only 6.7 to 1, which is half of the rate during the same period last year (14.52 to 1). However, there is extreme polarization where demand is heavily skewed toward specific regions and high-profile developments, such as those in Seoul’s Gangnam area or redevelopment zones.
- Gangnam Premium Complexes: Non-regulated areas and station-adjacent complexes in the capital still record high competition rates of over 5 to 1.
- Ra Clache Xi Daffine (Seoul, Dongjak-gu) (Remaining units): Recorded an extreme competition rate of 1726 to 1 in the "random" (non-priority) subscription, showing the "Jupjup" trend where thousands scramble for a few remaining units.
- Local Complexes: Frequent shortages in 2nd priority applications as the imbalance between supply and demand deepens.
Subscription Policy Updates
Expansion of Multi-child Special Supply Criteria for 2026
- Details: The current multi-child special supply (primarily for families with 3 or more children) is planned to expand to families with 2 children. Evaluation criteria for newlyweds will also be adjusted to lower barriers to entry.
- Implementation: Official announcement expected in the first half of 2026 (currently under review by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport).
- Impact: Families with 2 children, newlyweds, and multi-child households; aims to strengthen support for real-demand buyers.
Stricter Eligibility for Non-priority Subscriptions
- Details: Restructuring non-priority supply to focus on non-homeowners and actual residents. Strengthening verification processes for actual residency of dependents to prevent fake moves.
- Implementation: Announced in February 2025, with expanded application starting in the first half of 2026.
- Impact: Those planning for non-priority subscriptions and multi-homeowners; part of the pro-real-resident policy.

Market Flow & Expert Perspective
Deepening Polarization, Accelerated 'Selection Market'
Despite the drop in competition, the national subscription market is experiencing deepened polarization based on location, school districts, and transport links. While high competition is concentrated in Gangnam, non-regulated areas, and station-adjacent zones, local complexes are repeatedly failing to meet 2nd-priority targets. With the retreat of expectations for interest rate cuts and the lack of deregulation, the "selective purchase" trend focused on real-demand buyers is intensifying. Specialized locations like Pyeongtaek Woomi Rin Prestige (near industrial complexes and international schools) are in the spotlight as the only supply sources in the capital, highlighting the tension between regional balanced development and expanding supply in the capital region.
