After the government announced that it would significantly reduce the comprehensive real estate tax, multi-family homeowners are collecting houses they put up for sale.

However, there are already a lot of properties for sale, and there are not many people who want to buy it, so there is a forecast that it will not have a big impact on house prices.

The atmosphere in the real estate market changed subtly over the first weekend after the government announced a policy to significantly reduce the property tax for multi-family dwellers.



Although it is a small amount, the number of houses for sale mainly in the metropolitan area has decreased.



[Lee Eun-hyeong / Research Fellow, Korea Construction Policy Research Institute: (multi-homeowners) are more likely to choose to use their existing houses as they are for sale in the rental market rather than thinking about selling them due to this tax easing.



] There is also talk that the psychology will once again become an opportunity to spread among multi-family dwellers.



It is said that only multi-family homeowners who sold or donated their houses in advance to avoid the increase in estate and property taxes would be sad.



[Kim Gyu-gyu / Director, Asset Succession Research Institute, Korea Investment & Securities: The burden on homeowners who were trying to sell their houses for quick sale has been lowered.

However, there is no reason for sellers to lower the asking price, so the price gap between buyers and sellers continues, and the possibility of a prolonged transaction disruption has increased.] It is



unlikely that there will be a significant impact on the real estate market.



This is because the trading cliff is in a serious state where there are already lots of properties for sale and no one wants to buy it.

The property

that was collected like that won't be sold anyway, so it feels like it was just picked up.

It hit a record low, and so far this month, there are only 220 cases.



Due to continued interest rate hikes and concerns over an economic slowdown, the buying momentum is expected to weaken further, regardless of whether multi-homeowners are 'holding up'.
