Due to the easing of real estate regulations and the freeze on interest rates, housing prices in Seoul have been rising for 18 consecutive weeks and are approaching 90% of their previous high.
However, in rural areas, polarization is deepening, with unsold properties piling up.
Reporter Lee Dong-woo looked into the outlook for the real estate market in the second half of the year.

An apartment in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
Last month, an exclusive area of 161㎡ was traded for 5.3 billion won, a record price.
The previous highest price was 3.6 billion won in November 2019, but it jumped by 1.7 billion won in 3 years and 9 months.
A 241㎡ residential-commercial complex in Seongsu-dong, Seoul also broke a new record, rising by 1.55 billion won from 8.45 billion won in 2021 to 10 billion won last month.
In addition, other apartments such as Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, and Yeouido are also breaking their reported prices one after another.
One out of 10 recently traded Seoul apartments is at the reported price.
Thanks to this buying trend, apartment prices in Seoul have recovered to 87% of the previous high, and in particular, Gangnam, Seocho, and Yongsan-gu have risen to more than 90% of the previous high.

Thanks to the rising housing prices, new apartment sales in Seoul continue to sell out amid high competition.
As construction material and labor costs soared, the average selling price of apartments in Seoul also rose 44% in five months, exceeding 37 million won per 3.3㎡.
However, local areas are suffering from a serious shortage of unsold properties and polarization is gradually deepening.
Experts predict that the rise in housing prices in the metropolitan area is likely to slow down in the second half of the year.

However, due to the surge in construction costs, housing starts have plummeted by more than half compared to last year, permits and permits have decreased by 30%, and sales have also decreased by 44%, raising the possibility that housing prices will rise sharply in two to three years.
Accordingly, the government announced measures to promote housing supply, but it is expected that we will have to wait a little longer to see whether they will actually be effective in the market.
