The three areas in Seoul where apartment prices have risen the most in the past year are Nowon-gu, Dobong-gu, and Gangbuk-gu.
According to the monthly housing price trend of KB Kookmin Bank, the average sale price of apartments in Seoul last month was 1291 million won per square meter, up 21.7% or 2.3 million won compared to a year ago.
If an 85m2 apartment with a dedicated area was applied, it would increase by close to 200 million won from 93.84 million won to 1.09.993 million won in one year.
Nowon-gu and Dobong-gu, where apartment prices have risen the most by region in Seoul, have increased rates of 36.1%, followed by Gangbuk-gu, followed by 30.1%, ranking the so-called'Nodo River' in the top 1 to 3 places.
It is analyzed that these regions have many low- and mid-range houses, and as house prices began to rise from the Gangnam area in the second half of last year, and the cheonsei crisis struck, demand for so-called'panic buying' increased, leading to a rise in house prices.
On the other hand, the lowest price increase rate was at 12.7% in Yongsan-gu, followed by 13.8% in Gangnam-gu and Seocho-gu, respectively.
