동탄 이어 용인도 '들썩'..비규제지역 '풍선 효과' / SBS 8뉴스

Anchor As the rate of increase in Seoul apartment prices widens again, buying momentum is spreading to non-regulated areas in the metropolitan region. Following Hwaseong Dongtan, which recorded the highest rate of increase nationwide, the upward trend appears to be spreading to Yongin Giheung, the semiconductor industrial belt. Reporter Lee Seong-hoon covered the story. Reporter This is an apartment complex near Guseong Station in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. As it borders Hwaseong Dongtan, where housing prices have recently surged, coupled with the opening of the GTX and expectations for the semiconductor industrial belt, inquiries from potential buyers are continuing. [Hong Soon-beom / Real Estate Agent, Giheung-gu, Yongin: People who visited Dongtan and saw the significant price increases seem to be looking for this area because they prefer a region that is more affordable and has seen less of a price hike.] This week, Seoul apartment prices rose by 0.3%, expanding the rate of increase compared to last week. The upward trend in Seoul is spreading to non-regulated areas in the metropolitan region. Dongtan recorded the highest growth rate nationwide with a 1.65% increase, and its cumulative growth rate for the year also reached 11.38%, marking the first time it has surpassed double digits among all cities, counties, and districts across the country. Giheung, Yeongtong, and Guri also showed strong performance. Apartment transaction volume in major non-regulated areas of the Seoul metropolitan area during the first half of this year increased by 64.8% compared to the same period last year. Experts believe that demand is shifting as the burden of entering regulated areas increases. [Ham Young-jin / Head of Woori Bank Real Estate Research Lab: A "balloon effect" is occurring in areas with good accessibility to Seoul or relatively lower regulatory intensity, where both end-users and investors can flow in simultaneously. Both transaction volume and prices are rising.] Market expectations that housing prices will rise further are also growing. The Bank of Korea's housing price outlook index for June stood at 120, the highest level in five months. With most listings from multi-home owners absorbed and a shortage of Jeonse properties continuing, the growth rate of Jeonse prices for apartments in Seoul reached 0.35%, the highest in 12 years and 8 months. Although the government is emphasizing the expansion of supply, the outlook is that upward pressure will persist across the entire market, including sales and rentals, until actual move-in volumes become visible.
