On the other hand, in Seoul, the difference between high-priced apartments and low-priced apartments has steadily decreased. The price of high-priced apartments in both Seoul and the provinces has risen due to the influence of’one smart house’, but in Seoul, where supply is insufficient, even low-cost apartment prices have risen.
According to KB Kookmin Bank’s monthly housing price trend time series data on the 27th, the national apartment quintile ratio as of December last year was 8.5, the highest since December 2008 (8.1), when the related statistical survey began. The quintile multiplier is the value obtained by dividing the average price of the top 20% (5th quartile) by the average price of the bottom 20% (1 quintile) by dividing houses into 5th place in order of price. It represents the price gap between high-priced housing and low-priced housing, and the higher the ratio, the more severe the price difference.
The difference between the price of high-priced apartments and low-priced apartments is interpreted because of their preference for being smart. As the cost of multi-householding increased sharply due to the government’s successive regulations, it seems that homeowners have reorganized their portfolios, focusing on good locations and large acreage.
The gap was narrowed by the increase in the price of apartments in the first and second quartiles while trying to fit keys to the outskirts of Seoul, such as No, Do, and Gang (Nowon, Dobong, and Gangbuk). In fact, the exclusive area of 84.9m2 in the jugong 19 complex (Changdong River Town) in Dobong-gu, Seoul was sold for 1.05 billion won on the 22nd, and the first complex in Dobong-gu with a sale price of over 1 billion won appeared. This opened the era of 1 billion won for exclusive 84㎡ apartments in all 25 districts in Seoul.
