Market Trends & Expert Views
The March national competition rate of 6.99:1 suggests a market recovery. Seoul's 147.85:1 rate shows that even without Gangnam supply (which benefits from price ceilings), high demand is flocking to non-Gangnam transit hotspots like Gongdeok Station. According to the Korea Economic Daily, 12 of the 38 projects in Q1 saw competition over 5:1, driven by the "near-Seoul non-regulated/transit-oriented" keyword. Market polarization continues between peripheral metro/rural areas and high-demand zones, with experts predicting a surge if Gangnam-3 district supply resumes.
