[비즈한국] Using artificial intelligence, we deliver rapid and accurate information on real estate transactions for apartments and residential properties in Seoul over the past week.
According to the Seoul Real Estate Information Plaza, a review of residential property transactions in Seoul from December 8 to December 12 shows that a 235.16㎡ housing unit in Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, topped the weekly list, selling for 10.5 billion KRW.
Alphaim House 1 in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, saw its 212.7㎡ unit trade for 7 billion KRW. This was followed by the Asia Athletes Village Apartment in Jamsil-dong, Songpa-gu, where a 151.008㎡ unit sold for 5.66 billion KRW. In Jamsil-dong, Songpa-gu, units at Jugong Apartment Complex 5 with areas of 81.75㎡ and 76.5㎡ traded for 4.175 billion KRW and 4.027 billion KRW, respectively.
A 130.06㎡ unit at Heliocity Apartment in Garak-dong, Songpa-gu, sold for 3.69 billion KRW. A 75.7㎡ housing unit located in Noryangjin-dong, Dongjak-gu, traded for 2.93 billion KRW. The Veronis 5th Apartment in Bangbae-dong, Seocho-gu, saw a 178.71㎡ unit trade for 2.6 billion KRW. A 59.95㎡ unit at Parkrio Apartment in Sincheon-dong, Songpa-gu, sold for 2.58 billion KRW, and an 84.96㎡ unit at Centlas Apartment in Hawangsimni-dong, Seongdong-gu, traded for 2.43 billion KRW.
Market analysts suggest that these transaction results indicate a deepening polarization in the Seoul residential real estate market. With the top spots in weekly transactions dominated by large-sized or highly scarce luxury homes, they argue that selective trading focused on wealthy investors—rather than end-users—is continuing.
In particular, the price per pyeong (approx. 3.3㎡) significantly exceeded the Seoul average. Many of the top transactions exceeded 100 million KRW per pyeong, leading to assessments that rather than a recovery of the overall Seoul market, there is a localized trend of strong prices maintained in core locations and iconic complexes.
The price resilience of major complexes in the Gangnam and Jamsil areas was also reaffirmed. High-priced transactions continued for properties like the Jamsil Asia Athletes Village, Jugong Complex 5, Heliocity, and Parkrio, driven by expectations of reconstruction and competitive locations, with multi-billion KRW trades even occurring for mid-sized units.
While some high-priced transactions appeared outside of the Gangnam area, they are interpreted as individual cases based on the property's quality and location rather than a widespread market trend. Industry insiders stated, "Rather than seeing a general recovery in the Seoul housing market, this reflects a trend where polarization in prices is becoming more distinct as demand with financial leverage concentrates on ultra-core areas."
