- Geumgang Housing Attracts Attention with Mid-to-Large Floor Plans in ‘Dongtan New City Geumgang Pentarium 6th Central Park’

The popularity of medium- to large-sized apartments is growing in the real estate market. The increase in time spent at home since COVID-19 has led to a preference for larger homes, resulting in stronger demand and price increases.

In particular, medium- to large-sized apartments in new towns around the Seoul metropolitan area have been experiencing rising sales prices despite the recent market conditions, drawing attention.

According to actual transaction data from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the ‘Dongtan Station Shibeom Hanwha Dream Green Prestige’ located in Dongtan 2 New Town, with an exclusive area of 113㎡, was traded for 1.43 billion KRW in February, showing a price increase of 130 million KRW compared to the previous transaction price of 1.3 billion KRW in November 2022. Additionally, in Gwanggyo New Town, the ‘Gwanggyo e-Pyeonhansesang’ with an exclusive area of 101㎡ changed hands for 1.32 billion KRW in February, rising more than 100 million KRW compared to the transaction price of 1.2 billion KRW in October of the previous year.

Interest in medium- to large-sized apartments is also increasing in the pre-sale market. Accordingly, construction companies are again increasing the supply of medium- to large-sized apartments.

According to data from Real Estate R114, the supply volume of medium- to large-sized apartments with exclusive areas over 85㎡ was recorded at 27,682 units last year, an increase of about 64.9% compared to the previous year’s supply volume of 16,785 units. This contrasts with the small-sized apartments under 60㎡, which saw a 30.1% decrease during the same period despite previously high interest.

The industry expects the popularity of medium- to large-sized apartments to continue. An industry insider said, “Through COVID-19, the role of the home has diversified and activities inside the home have become more varied, so demand for medium- to large-sized apartments continues to grow. Because of the increased demand, these apartments are also advantageous for future price protection, so we can expect an influx of buyers looking for a smart single property.”

Meanwhile, in Dongtan 2 New Town, the ‘Dongtan New Town Geumgang Pentarium 6th Central Park’ currently being sold by Geumgang Housing is attracting attention as it consists entirely of medium- to large-sized units.
