Trading volume increased, but rebounded? ‘well’

◀ Anchor ▶

The steep decline in house prices in Seoul is slowing down.

There are some flats, but there are also places where the selling price has risen a bit again.

However, it is an analysis that it is still too early to judge that the real estate market, which has hit bottom, has returned to rebound.

This is reporter Lim Sang-jae’s report.

An apartment with a unique area of ​​86 square meters was traded for 1.15 billion won, which fell more than 300 million to the level 800 million won in two years.

However, in the last month, the sale price has risen more than 50 million won.

After deregulation of real estate, there were signs of a recovery in transactions, and even emergency sales disappeared, and house prices rose.

“The number of people looking for rush sales seems to have picked up a bit as the rush sales have worn off a bit. Now that the rush sale has ended, the seller is now offering them at a little higher…”

Last month, Seoul apartment transaction volume was 1,921 cases, the highest in 16 months since October of the previous year, and the demand sentiment to buy an apartment increased.

The real estate market is also changing.

In fact, more than 40,000 people flocked to the unlisted subscription for the reconstruction apartment in Dunchon Jugong, Seoul, held on the 8th.

The competition ratio was 46:1.

However, analysis is that it is too early to see that the cold real estate market has returned to rebound.

Unlike Seoul, the buying sentiment for apartments in the provinces has declined further.

“Instead of interpreting it as a rebound in the general real estate market, this kind of interest and concentration of demand appeared in Seoul no matter how bad the real estate market was, so I think it can be seen as such an effect .”

There is still a possibility that the benchmark interest rate will be raised while taking a breather.

The risk of default on real estate PF loans worth 150 trillion won is also likely to dampen the real estate market.
