The number of households moving in next year is estimated to be about 240,000, a 22% decrease compared to this year. In Seoul, due to complexes completed through redevelopment projects, move-ins are expected to increase by 33% to 30,000 households compared to this year.
Zigbang announced on the 23rd that the nationwide apartment move-in volume in 2025 will total 237,582 households, a 22% decrease from this year (304,213 households). This is the smallest volume since 2021 (236,622 households).

Next year, Seoul's move-in volume is 31,334 households, 33% more than in 2024 (23,507 households). The increase is due to move-ins mainly in large-scale complexes completed through redevelopment projects. The move-in volume by detailed Seoul districts is highest in the following order: △Dongdaemun-gu 9,522 households △Seocho-gu 3,307 households △Songpa-gu 3,054 households △Seongbuk-gu 2,840 households △Seongdong-gu 2,707 households.
In Seoul, move-ins are planned for large-scale promising projects completed through redevelopment. A total of 36 complexes will have move-ins, of which 9 are large-scale complexes (1,000 households or more). The largest is Imun I-Park Xi (4,321 households), redeveloped from Imun 3 District in Imun-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, scheduled for move-in in November. Maple Xi in Jamwon-dong, Seocho-gu, with 3,307 households, will move in June, and Jamsil Raemian I-Park in Jamsil-dong, Songpa-gu, is scheduled for move-in in December.
Move-in volumes in Gyeonggi (57,475 households) and Incheon (22,091 households) will decrease by 42% and 28%, respectively, compared to this year. Move-ins will continue mainly in housing development districts such as Hwaseong, Osan, and Paju.

A total of 194 complexes are scheduled for move-in, of which 30 complexes are large-scale with 1,000 households or more.
Individually, the largest complex to start move-ins is Gimhae Yulha The Sky City Zenith & Frau (3,764 households) in Sinmun-dong, Gimhae-si, Gyeongnam, in February. In Daejeon, Dunsan The Sharp Eliph (2,763 households) in Yongmun-dong, Seo-gu, is scheduled for move-in in February. Additionally, Chungbuk Jincheon Gyoseong District Poonglim I-One Premium (2,450 households) is scheduled for move-in in March.
Zigbang explained, "With the impact of loan regulations and political uncertainty including turmoil in the political situation, the atmosphere in the apartment transaction market is cold, and the move-in market is not expected to brighten for the time being. In the metropolitan area, for complexes scheduled to move in after the second half of 2025 (based on the scheduled move-in month in the announcement), fund loans for newly built unsold apartments under the condition of post-mortgage are restricted, so prospective buyers facing move-in are expected to have deep concerns."
