  • The price increase rate for new apartment applications requiring land transaction permits in Seoul reached 2.67% in June.
  • This marks the highest rate since the 'October 10th and 15th Measures' policy was implemented.
  • Seoul's city government analyzes and releases monthly data on land transaction permit applications.

Seoul saw a significant surge in apartment prices for new land transaction permit applications in June, reaching a 2.67% increase compared to the previous month. This figure represents the highest monthly price hike since the implementation of the 'October 10th and 15th Measures,' a set of real estate regulations aimed at stabilizing the housing market.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government released its analysis of land transaction permit applications for June, detailing price fluctuations and transaction volumes. The data highlights a continued upward trend in property values within the capital.

This latest data suggests that despite government interventions, the Seoul housing market continues to experience inflationary pressures. The consistent rise in application prices indicates sustained demand and potentially limited supply, posing challenges for affordability and market stability.
