As interest rates rise, the burden on people who buy houses with loans is increasing.

For sale is piling up, and few people want to buy a house, so house prices have been stagnating for weeks.



Reporter Han Sang-woo reported.

Mr. Lee, an office worker, received a loan of 250 million won a year and a half ago and bought a 59㎡ apartment in Seongdong-gu, Seoul.



He used to think that he made a good choice because the house price went up close to 300 million, but these days, his worries are increasing.



As interest rates continue to rise, the burden increases, as house prices fall.



In fact, 125 million won for a 59m2 apartment in the neighboring neighborhood fell by 125 million won in half a year, and 90 million won for an 84m2 apartment nearby.



[Lee Mo / Office worker: (interest interest) is 200,000 won per month.

It's 200,000 won, because income doesn't go up much, only prices go up a lot, and interest rates go up too.

It will be a burden, and interest rates will continue to rise.

There is something I am worried about.]



While house prices and interest rates are unstable, more properties are piling up.



In particular, the number of properties for sale increased by 10% in Seoul alone during the transfer tax for multi-family homes and after the deferred action.



By the way, although there is still time to report, so far this month, 704 transactions have been made, which is one-seventh of what it was a year ago.



Until last year, house prices were the so-called 'young-chul' of the younger generation, and the number of transactions and prices soared, but now the atmosphere has changed.



[Jaewoo Koo / Realtor: At this time last year, transactions were very active, but in this case, only one or two transactions are traded per month...

.

Property for sale is accumulating.] Looking at



statistics, with the exception of Gangnam and Yongsan, most of Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon are all experiencing a decline in house prices for this reason.



Jeonse prices in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon also fell 0.4% in one week, and most regions are weak.



Interest rates are expected to continue rising, which is expected to have a significant impact on the real estate market.
