successive real estate measures, apartment transactions in Seoul are falling sharply.

This 82.5m2 apartment in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, was traded for 2.45 billion won earlier this month.



It is 25 million won higher than the same area transaction price reported last month.



Compared to the increase of nearly 200 million won for three months since May, the uptrend has slowed completely.



It can be interpreted as a decrease in speculative demand as well as so-called'panic buying' in 2030 as it leads to strengthening loan regulations, holding tax, and supply expansion plans.

I think you should see it as a situation that both forces (sell/buy) are in check and are now aware of it.] The



reported volume of apartment transactions in Seoul last month was only half of that of a month ago, and as of this month, it is half of last month.



Seoul's Buy Advantage Index also fell for three consecutive weeks, falling below the baseline 100.



It means that there are more people who are willing to sell than those who are willing to buy a house.



Despite this situation, apartment prices in Seoul did not show a downtrend and maintained an increase of 0.01% for 5 consecutive weeks.



Although some of the sudden sales of corporations and multi-homed people are coming out, the reason is that there is still demand for mid- to low-priced apartments in Gangbuk and other areas.



There is also an interpretation that the total price, which rose for 64 consecutive weeks, also supports the trading value.



[Kim Gyu-hye/Director of Korea Investment & Securities Asset Succession Research Institute: As homeless people continue to trade for my home in mid-to-low-priced areas, the rise is sporadically appearing, and the jeonse price has recently skyrocketed, so let's go ahead and prepare my home...

next June, the transfer tax rate for multi-homed people has risen, and the higher tax rate has also been applied in earnest.



However, as the end of the year, the prospect of additional sales by multi-homed people and the possibility of stabilizing the house price downward is prevailing.
