Earlier, the government announced that it would announce a new housing site with a capacity of 150,000 households, including 110,000 households in the metropolitan area, among the new housing plans proposed through the February 4 housing supply measures.
However, in the announcement of the real estate supply today (29th), large-scale housing sites in the metropolitan area were not included.
This is because, when looking at the trend of land transactions for candidate land for new residential lands, there were situations in which speculation was suspected, such as a four-fold increase in transaction volume or half of foreigners' transactions.
[Kim Soo-sang/Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Directorate: The government has determined that it is necessary to search for illegal speculative behavior through a thorough investigation rather than an early announcement, in a situation where the possibility of speculation in the candidate site has been partially confirmed.]
However, before the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and LH They investigated the employee, but said there were no suspected cases of speculation.
The government decided to investigate the actual real estate transaction targeting the candidate sites, while at the same time conducting a police investigation of the abnormal transaction to determine the actual situation first.
Afterwards, after system maintenance such as aggravated penalties for speculative acts and measures to recover profits was completed, the new public housing site was decided to be disclosed.
Instead, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced plans to build new public housing sites with 18,000 households in Ulsan Seonbawi and Daejeon Sangseo.
In addition, it has decided to supply additional houses with a size of 13,000 households by increasing the development density or changing the use of Sejong City.
