From next month, the upper limit of the real estate brokerage commission rate will be lowered from 600 million won for sales and 300 million won for rentals.



When selling a house worth 900 million won, the highest brokerage fee will be reduced by 44.5% from 8.1 million won to 4.5 million won, and the highest 600 million won jeonse transaction fee will be reduced from 4.8 million won to 2.4 million won.



The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced today (2nd) that the amendment to the Enforcement Regulations of the Chartered Brokers Act, which is based on this content, will be announced by the 16th of this month.



This amendment reflects the 'real estate brokerage fee and improvement plan for brokerage service' announced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on the 20th of last month in the enforcement rules.



The current enforcement regulations stipulate that real estate brokerage fees should be set by ordinance within the range of the total upper limit rate (0.9% for sale/exchange, 0.8% for lease, etc.). was set to be



However, in consideration of regional characteristics, etc., the upper limit rate can be determined by adding or subtracting 1/1000 of the transaction amount.



Since brokerage fees are linked to real estate transaction prices, they soared along with the recent surge in house prices.



Accordingly, the government came up with a plan to reorganize the fee system by lowering the overall rate through a discussion session with the relevant agency TF, and confirmed the improvement plan by reflecting the opinions of the brokerage industry.



The reorganized brokerage fee system sets an upper limit on the rate rather than the fixed rate as it is now.



It is a structure in which the user and the broker negotiate and set the rate within the upper limit.



In the case of trading, the current upper limit rate (hereinafter referred to as the rate) is maintained for transactions of less than KRW 600 million.



A fee limit of 250,000 won is set at 0.6% for less than 50 million won.



The fee limit is 800,000 won and 0.5% for 50 to 200 million won.



The current rate of 0.4% is also applied to the range of KRW 200 million to KRW 600 million.



The rate system will be different from 600 million won or more.



The rate in the range of 600 million won to 900 million won will be lowered by 0.1 percentage point from 0.5% to 0.4%.



Currently, 0.9% is applied to all orders over 900 million won, but 0.5% for 900 million won to 1.2 billion won, 0.6% for 1.2 billion won to 1.5 billion won, and 0.7% for over 1.5 billion won.



In this case, the upper limit of the 900 million won transaction fee will be increased from 8.1 million won (0.9% of 900 million won) to 4.5 million won (0.5% of 900 million won), and the upper limit of the 1.2 billion won transaction fee will be 10.8 million won (12 million won). 0.9% of KRW billion) to KRW 7.2 million (0.6% of KRW 1.2 billion).



The rental contract fee will be lower than the current rate for transactions of KRW 300 million or more.



There is no change from the existing rate system: 0.5% for less than 50 million won and 200,000 won, 0.4% for 50 million to 100 million won, 300,000 won for 0.4%, and 0.3% for 100 million to 300 million won.



For 300-600 million won transactions, the commission rate will be reduced from 0.4% to 0.3%.



Currently, the rental rate is 0.8% from 600 million won or more, but in the future, 0.4% for 600 million won to 1.2 billion won, 0.5% for 1.2 billion to 1.5 billion won, and 0.6% for 1.5 billion won or more. .



The government initially suggested the rate for the 600-900 million won section as 0.3%, but the brokerage industry appealed that if the rate for the 600-900 million won section, where there are many jeonse transactions, was lowered too much, the business would be seriously affected, and this was reflected.



If the revised rate system is applied, the upper limit of the 600 million won jeonse transaction fee will be increased from 4.8 million won (0.8% of 600 million won) to 2.4 million won (0.4% of 600 million won), and the 900 million won transaction fee will be 7.2 million won ( 0.8% of 900 million won) to 3.6 million won (0.4% of 900 million won), each halving.



An official from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said, "The brokerage fee in real estate transactions is a matter directly related to people's livelihood, so it will be implemented as early as next month after collecting opinions and reviewing the Ministry of Legislation." I expect it,” he said.



Anyone who has an opinion on the amendment can submit it through mail, fax, or the website of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
