00:06Regional land lot contract cancellations just hit a five-year high,
00:10with builders walking away from their deposits.
00:13Four apartment complexes in Noon are about to become one 6,000-unit redevelopment zone.
00:19In Daegu, buyers camped out for two nights just to snag a jaunts unit at a formerly unsellable apartment.
00:26And Seoul's mayor just confirmed there will be no extensions to the 20-year cap on long-term jaunts housing.
00:33It's Wednesday, September 9th.
00:35Let's look at what's happening in Korea's property market.
00:39Builders are increasingly forfeiting deposits on regional public land
00:42rather than risk building into markets already sitting on tens of thousands of unsold units.
00:48Meanwhile, redevelopment momentum is picking up speed in select Seoul districts
00:53as procedural approvals move faster than usual.
00:56And Seoul is drawing a hard line on its long-term jaunts program,
00:59even as it works to widen access to newer public housing options.
01:03Here's what the numbers show.
01:0556 public housing land lot contracts have been cancelled since 2021,
01:09with the regional share climbing from 4 out of 25 in 2024 to 11 out of 17 last year,
01:16as builders forfeit deposits worth 10% of the contract price.
01:20Noongu formally requested redevelopment zone designation for Sangye Hanshin 3,
01:25which will become a 464-unit complex at up to 35 stories,
01:30with three neighboring complexes together forming roughly 6,000 units once complete.
01:35Over 200 people lined up,
01:37some camping for two nights,
01:39for jaunts contracts at Daegu's Sangin Prugio Center Park,
01:42priced up to 100 million one-below nearby units
01:45after the previously unsellable complex converted to a CR REIT rental scheme.
01:50Seoul's mayor confirmed there will be no extension
01:53beyond the 20-year cap on long-term jaunts housing,
01:56affecting roughly 9,300 households set to be displaced through 2031,
02:01though the city will review income and asset eligibility rules.
02:05LH will supply 20,528 buy-to-rent housing units in Central Seoul over the next three years,
02:12with 14,558 reserved for young people,
02:16whose lease application competition ratio already runs at 130 to 1.
02:21So what does this mean for buyers weighing a purchase this year?
02:24Earlier, we said regional land lot contract cancellations just hit a five-year high.
02:30Here's what that actually means for you.
02:31Builders are walking away from deposits rather than risk building into markets
02:36already sitting on nearly 49,000 unsold regional units,
02:39which tells you the oversupply problem outside the capital isn't close to resolved.
02:44If you're weighing a property outside Seoul,
02:47that same oversupply is exactly what's creating unusually cheap options like
02:51Diego's CR REIT jaunce conversion.
02:54Just know the underlying market conditions that made it cheap in the first place.
02:58What to watch
02:59Whether more regional land lot contracts get cancelled as unsold housing keeps piling up.
03:05No Wangu's follow-on redevelopment approvals for Sangye Hanshin 1 and 2,
03:10targeted for next year.
03:12And how many of the roughly 9,300 households displaced from expiring long-term jaunce leases
03:18get priority access to Seoul's new Miri Nei Jip and buy-to-rent programs?
03:22That's today's AI Prism, real estate.
