Real estate experts analyzed, "Raemian Firstige in Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, is a large-scale branded apartment complex along the Han River. It is a prime complex where demand for 'one smart house' is concentrated, thanks to its excellent accessibility to the Express Bus Terminal subway station and nearby business and commercial districts, as well as its Han River views." They added, "While top-tier apartment prices in Seoul have recently been rising by around 8% annually, steady demand for core locations in the Gangnam 3 districts and the Han River belt continues to drive record-high price updates."

Experts further analyzed, "The fact that all top 10 listings this week are concentrated in so-called prime core areas such as the Gangnam 3 districts and Yeouido clearly demonstrates the hyper-polarization and location bias of the Seoul housing market. Conversely, as low-priced units in the outskirts face price stagnation or slight declines, the structural gap in wealth within Seoul is becoming entrenched, with the price gap between the top 20% and bottom 20% of apartments widening to around 7 times in 2025 alone."
