According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on that day, the national average public housing price increase this year was 19.08%.

The rate of increase in the public housing price of apartments has been on a gentle upward curve from 4.44% in 2017 to 5.02% in 2018 and 5.23% in 2019, followed by 5.98% last year. It is the highest in 14 years since the 22.7% in 2007, when the publicly announced prices were raised a lot at the same time during the past participatory government.

The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs explained that the’Public Price Realization Roadmap’ announced last year was applied when calculating the public housing price this year, but the public price of apartments such as apartments rose so much last year, rather than the roadmap.

According to the roadmap, the public housing price realization rate will rise to 90% by 2030. For those with less than 900 million won, the realization rate will reach 90% by 2030, but for those with more than 900 million won to 1.5 billion won in 2027, the realization rate will reach 90% in 2025, and so on.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport raised the realization rate by only 1.2 percentage points this year.

The realization rate rose only 0.63 percentage points.

An official from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport explained, “The realization rate has risen slightly, but the price of apartments has risen a lot last year, and the published price has risen by that level.”
