Recently, in the relatively quiet real estate market, only the prices of reconstructed apartments are booming. House prices in the Gangnam area of Seoul are booming in anticipation that the new government will loosen regulations, and landlords continue to raise prices in the first-phase new towns such as Bundang and Ilsan.
Reporter Jo Yoon-ha reported.
Hyundai Apartment in Apgujeong-dong, Seoul, a representative reconstruction complex.
The 155㎡ apartment in this apartment has increased by 800 million won in the last month.
It traded at 5.1 billion won in March, but it was reported that it was traded at 5.9 billion won in April, a month later.

In fact, house prices in Gangnam-gu, Seoul rose by 0.03% and in Seocho-gu by 0.05% compared to last week.
It has risen for six consecutive weeks since the last week of March.
The upward trend is steeper in the first phase of the new city, where President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol recently promised once more that the reconstruction would proceed as promised.
In the past two months, while the number of apartments reconstructed in Seoul rose 0.2%, in Ilsan, more than tripled by 0.76%, and apartments in the first phase of new city reconstruction rose 0.34%.

As the transfer tax regulation is lifted, there is also an expectation that multi-family homeowners will own only reconstructed apartments, even if they put out their outlying houses.

However, there is a forecast that there will be a limit to only the increase in reconstruction in a situation where interest rates rise and Gyeonggi-do is uncertain.
