◆ Gwangmyeong·Siheung 6th 3rd new city ◆
– On the 24th, when the government decided to supply 70,000 units to Gwangmyeong and Siheung, Gyeonggi-do, experts responded, “Psychologically, it will have a stable effect, but it may take up to 10 years to move in, so the actual effect is unknown.”
Experts generally positively evaluated the prefectural government’s supply efforts, although late, but local residents showed differences in positions depending on where they lived. Residents of Gwangmyeong City, where maintenance projects are active, reacted coldly to concerns about a decline in house prices due to large-scale supply, while residents of Siheung City, Gyeonggi-do, which are relatively underdeveloped, were displeased.
Professor Kwon Dae-jung of the Department of Real Estate at Myongji University said, “70,000 units in Gwangmyeong and Siheung are quite large,” he said. “It is expected to have a significant impact on housing supply in the southwestern part of the metropolitan area.”
There is also a prospect that it will diversify the demand for housing among young people. Myung-sook Ahn, head of the Real Estate Investment Support Center of Woori Bank, diagnosed, “Gwangmyeong is a popular area for young people, and if it is connected with industrial complexes such as Gasan Digital Complex and a wide-area railway network is laid, it will have an effect of dispersing housing demand in Seoul and the southwestern part of the metropolitan area. did.
Experts pointed out, however, that as large-scale quantities are scheduled, efforts should be made to attract companies so that Gwangmyeong City and Siheung City do not become’bedtowns’ along with supply control.

– Prof. Kwon said, “In the original new city, after the road network was opened and the industrial complex was created, when the population escaped from Seoul, the appropriate hinterland was created. This time, it was created from the hinterland.” “Efforts such as deregulation to attract companies “I need this.” Professor Shim Gyo-eon of Konkuk University’s Department of Real Estate said, “If a large quantity of goods is poured out at once, there is a possibility that the area will be destroyed or the necessary redevelopment will be delayed in the future.”
The difficulty of seeing short-term effects is considered a limitation of this measure. Professor Sim said, “Recently, real estate prices have risen largely due to the jeonse crisis, but there is no solution for this part.” “It may give a signal to the market, saying,’Don’t rush to buy a house because this amount is available, but it will not be big.” said.
The position of local residents was divided. Residents of Gwangmyeong City, where reconstruction and redevelopment have been active in recent years, such as Cheolsan Jugong 8 and 9 complexes, are worried that the large-scale housing supply due to the 3rd new town will sprinkle cold water on local housing prices. On the other hand, the residents of Siheung City, which are relatively underdeveloped, were displeased.
Mr. Kim, who owns an apartment building in Gwangmyeong, said, “I had an apartment building in anticipation of reconstruction, but I am worried that only the demand for chartered rents aimed at subscribing to a new city will increase, and housing prices will drop due to large-scale supply.” A realtor in Gwangmyeong City said, “Even before the designation of a new housing site, centering on consumers who bought new town pre-sale rights, there were concerns that the house price would fall if the supply increased.” Gwangmyeong New Town, which was released in 2012 after the initiative in 2009, has been promoting redevelopment projects in areas with high approval rates since 2016, when the real estate market was vibrant. Currently, more than 25,000 households are scheduled to be supplied in 11 districts. The nearby real estate industry estimates the pre-sale price per pyeong of Gwangmyeong New Town at around 20 million to 30 million won. One realtor said, “If the sale price of new apartments is lower than this, the resistance of residents will increase.”
There was also an expectation that it would be a sign of regional development. The Gwangmyeong and Siheung special management areas were designated as Bogeumjari Housing in 2010, but were completely removed from the public housing district in 2015 and then designated as special management areas. It was recognized for its large scale and growth potential, but it could be a good thing that a supply measure came out amidst the drifting due to no specific development plan. Jo Mo, who has lived in a villa in Gwangmyeong City for about 20 years, said, “Some residents will appreciate that the development of the region and the opportunity to enter an apartment will be created.” “Gwangmyeong-Siheung City will establish itself as a key hub in the southwestern part of the metropolitan area,” said Yang Ki University’s co-democratic party lawmaker (Gwangmyeong-eul).
On the other hand, in Siheung City, which was relatively underdeveloped, this supply is expected to be an opportunity for change. An official from a nearby real estate agency said, “This area is mostly old low-rise villas and transactions are not active.”
