- Nationwide commercial and office-building transactions fell 3.4% month on month to 1,025 in July, according to Real Estate Planet.

South Korea’s commercial and office-building market recorded fewer transactions in July, marking a fourth consecutive monthly decline. The nationwide total fell to 1,025 deals from 1,061 in June, a drop of 3.4%.
Yet the value of transactions rose for a second straight month. The increase came as trading in mid-sized and large buildings worth at least 10 billion won and less than 30 billion won climbed 76%, according to an analysis released by Real Estate Planet on Sept. 2.
The figures show a market in which overall activity weakened while higher-value deals lifted the total amount traded.
