News Documents & data Outcome reported
  • A penthouse in Songdo International City, Incheon, sold for 5.95 billion won, marking the first apartment transaction in Incheon to exceed 5 billion won.
  • Real estate experts suggest this is an isolated case due to the rarity of such high-end penthouses, not a sign of a broader housing market surge in Songdo.
  • The transaction involved a unit in 'The Sharp Central Park 2nd' in Songdo-dong, Yeonsu-gu.

A penthouse in Incheon's Songdo International City has set a new record, selling for 5.95 billion won. This marks the first time an apartment transaction in Incheon has surpassed the 5 billion won threshold. The property in question is located in 'The Sharp Central Park 2nd' in Songdo-dong, Yeonsu-gu.

Despite the record-breaking sale, real estate experts are cautioning against interpreting this as a sign of a widespread price increase in Songdo's housing market. They emphasize that the transaction likely reflects the unique rarity and desirability of ultra-high-end penthouses rather than a general market trend.

According to data from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport's real transaction price disclosure system, the specific unit involved is a penthouse with a private area of 258 square meters. The sale occurred on May 3rd.
