There are still trade barriers... Yongsan · Gangnam Bay house prices 'floating'

<Anchor>

Apartment prices in Seoul seem to have stagnated this year, but the atmosphere in some areas has changed recently.

Gangnam and Seocho are expected to reconstruct, and Yongsan is experiencing a surge in house prices on the news that a presidential office will be built.

Reporter Han Sang-woo Let's see the report first and continue the story.

The biggest change in the Yongsan real estate market is that houses are being traded.

People who wanted to buy a house stopped coming from last summer, but it has changed a bit these days.

[Lee Seung-sun/CEO of Hyosung Wontop Authorized Brokerage Office: In the meantime, there have been few inquiries without inquiries. Yongsan-do, since (the presidential election), inquiries are increasing and actual transactions are being made.]

When the office of the president is moved and a park is created, the area of ​​Yongsan It seems to reflect the expectation that the image will improve and the surrounding environment will also improve.

Some apartments led the rise by writing new prices, but the Hyperion 234-square-meter apartment in Hannam-dong rose by 200 million won this year.

[Lee Yong-geon/CEO of Aeon Real Estate Brokerage Firm: Should it be said that this is the effect that the elected Seok-yeol Yoon will get by entering Yongsan?

Because the expectations are high, it seems to be reflected in the real estate market as it is.] In

Gangnam and Seocho, reconstructed apartments are moving.

The 123-square-meter apartment in Gaepo-dong, Gyeongsangnam-do, with more than 600 households, was sold for the first time in ten months, with more than 200 million won.

The entire house price in Seoul fell by 0.01% last week and has been falling for two months, but three places in Gangnam, Seocho, and Yongsan actually rose slightly.

[Lim Seong-hwan / ABL Life WM Manager: Demand for a so-called bright house is alive, and we are looking for a place where we can expect future investment returns through reconstruction in a core area.]

[Reporter Han Sang-woo: I check the major real estate markets once a week, but today the atmosphere was definitely different.

First of all, reconstruction is a big issue in Gangnam and Seocho.

However, the acquisition committee said that it would raise the floor area ratio and ease the safety diagnosis standards.

In addition, they said that they would reduce the burden on the recovery of excess profits from reconstruction. In Gangnam and Seocho, it is the reconstruction apartment that makes money. This is an atmosphere of expectation.]

[Reporter Han Sang-woo: There is an atmosphere that we are still looking at places like the triangle close to the Ministry of National Defense, where the office will be located due to security concerns, but there is a lot of talk that the living environment will improve in many ways the further away from here.]

[Reporter Han Sang-woo: Even experts have different opinions on that part.

Some people who buy a house say that if they loan out up to 70% of the house price, the money will be released, so the apartment price will rise.

Now, the interest rate on the loan is almost 4%, so if the loan is 1 billion won, the one-year interest alone is 40 million won, and the burden increases when the interest rate rises.

If the rate of increase in house prices is higher than the interest rate, factors to buy a house will inevitably decrease.]

[Reporter Han Sang-woo: First, to ease the burden on the transfer tax is to take action immediately after taking office.

But, one more thing to look at here, isn't the estate tax and property tax calculated as of June 1st?

Then, if a multi-residential person sells their house between June 1st after taking office, the burden of transfer tax will be reduced, and property tax and death tax will not be paid.

That is why there is such an expectation that multi-homeowners will put up some properties in May.]

[Reporter Han Sang-woo: This part is also a little strange.

When those multi-homeowners put up their houses, why not start with houses that are likely to rise a little less.

So, what do these multi-homeowners do with the money they received from the sale of their house?

It is possible that these people will sell several houses and will be flocked to the so-called 'smart one'.

Therefore, there is a concern that house prices will rise in Gangnam.

In addition, there is an opinion that the acquisition committee says that the burden of the multi-family ownership tax will be slightly reduced, but some multi-home owners already put up with it.

That is why the new government seems to need to make more sophisticated policies when it comes to real estate policies.]
