Market Trends & Expert Views
June Market Revival — According to analysis by Budongsan114 and Zigbang, the national supply of apartment units in June is expected to reach 30,000 to 40,000, double the volume of the same period last year (approx. 15,000). This is the result of construction companies bringing schedules forward now that regulatory policies have normalized following the elections.
Deepening Polarization in Seoul — Analysis by the Korea Economic Daily shows that competition rate gaps within Seoul between Gangnam (Seocho, Gangnam, Songpa) and Gangbuk (Mia, Nowon, etc.) have widened to over 200 times. While Gangnam-area subscriptions are seen as a "lottery," some complexes in the Gangbuk area are failing to reach their target number of applicants.
Strengthening Support for Real Residents — With the introduction of the point-based system and priority for homeless individuals in unranked subscriptions, the government is focusing on suppressing speculative investment and expanding winning opportunities for those without homes.
