“House sale prices across the country are forecast to increase by 0.3 percent in the second half and jeonse rental deposits will go up by 0.5 percent,” said Chae Mi-ok, an official of Korea Appraisal Board.
Demand for houses among end users will continue as the low interest rate and expansionary monetary policy prompt people to borrow money from banks for home purchase. House rental deposits will continue to rise in some regions where supply is outstripped by demand, but overall there will be no big increase due to rising supply of new houses and housing market stability, Chae explained.
Meanwhile, house sale prices will be more polarized between metro and non-metro areas. Demand of buying and selling houses in Seoul and its surrounding areas will remain strong due to the low interest rate, but such demand in other areas will be dented by the supply growth of new houses and stricter debt controls.
