- Attention on Apartments Subject to Price Ceiling Amid Growing Homeownership Burden... Reasonable Prices Compared to Market Value
- 'Yuseung Hanneul The Sky,' the Last Apartment in Wonju Innovation City Subject to Price Ceiling, Gains Scarcity Value Up
Amid recent consecutive interest rate hikes, the burden of purchasing a home has increased, making complexes subject to the price ceiling system an emerging solution.
A prime example is public land development districts. These districts are subject to the price ceiling system regardless of the region. The most notable feature is that the sale prices are reasonably set compared to surrounding market prices. Additionally, since the development is led by public sectors such as the national government, local governments, Korea Land & Housing Corporation, and local public corporations, with an emphasis on public interest, planned development ensures abundant living infrastructure.
One place benefiting from this price ceiling system is ‘Wonju Innovation City Useung Hanneul The Sky,’ launched by Useung General Construction in November in Wonju, Gangwon Province. Known as the last apartment complex subject to the price ceiling system in the public land district of Wonju Innovation City, it is expected to attract significant interest from buyers seeking high rarity and reasonable prices.
