As the real estate market in Daejeon has recently shown signs of recovery, interest from buyers is also rising again.
Since the beginning of this year, apartment transaction volumes in Daejeon have been steadily increasing. According to Real Estate R114, the number of apartment sales transactions in Daejeon rose from 859 in January to 1,477 in May, representing a 1.7-fold increase. Along with the increase in transaction volume, apartment prices have also climbed for four consecutive months, indicating a recovery trend.
In fact, a pre-sale right for an 84-square-meter unit in the H Complex in Hakha-dong, Yuseong-gu, was traded for 726.8 million won in June, which is a 5% increase compared to the previous transaction price of 692.9 million won.
This upward trend in Daejeon is being interpreted as not just a simple recovery, but as a clear signal of a full-fledged rebound. First, Daejeon, along with Sejong, is considered a representative city of the Chungcheong region, boasting well-developed administrative, educational, and industrial infrastructure, which is evaluated as providing solid mid- to long-term demand. The expansion of transportation networks, such as the Chungcheong Metropolitan Railway and Daejeon Line 2 Tram, is also cited as a factor driving Daejeon's upward momentum.
Additionally, after the Lee Jaemyung administration presented its vision to develop Daejeon into a science and technology-centered city and a "science capital," mid- to long-term expectations for the fostering of future industries and increased investment have been positively influencing the Daejeon real estate market.
A real estate expert commented, "Daejeon is a region with well-established infrastructure in transportation, education, and administration, and recently, both transaction volumes and actual transaction prices have been steadily rising. As the government's science capital vision and expectations for transportation development such as the tram and metropolitan railway are being fully reflected, Daejeon is entering not just a simple recovery, but a genuine upward market."
Amidst this, a particular complex is drawing attention in the Daejeon real estate market. That is "Grand Le Pied," a high-end residential product located in Dunsan-dong, Seo-gu, considered the very center of Daejeon.
"Grand Le Pied" is being developed as a luxury residential complex with a maximum of 47 above-ground floors, exclusive areas of 119 and 169 square meters, and a total of 832 units. As the tallest landmark in the Dunsan area, it is attracting interest from both end-users and investors.
Currently, "Grand Le Pied" is conducting first-come, first-served contracts and has recently changed its contract terms to attract even more interest from buyers. By significantly reducing the contract payment burden to 5% of the total price and introducing a fixed first contract payment of 10 million won, the number of visitors and inquiries at the model house has surged.
The differentiated community and lifestyle services for residents of "Grand Le Pied" also stand out. The complex is equipped with a hotel-style swimming pool, indoor golf practice range, fitness club, spa club, and a top-floor sky lounge called "Sunset Lounge." There is also a "Family Club" for resident families and a "Guest Room" for visitors. Premium lifestyle services such as hotel-level concierge and Shinsegae Food premium breakfast service are also provided.
Within the complex, a 20-meter, three-lane indoor swimming pool called "Pied Pool" is being created, and a sunbed zone will also be provided, creating a hotel-style swimming pool atmosphere to enhance residents' pride.
There will also be a "Golf Club" with separate screen golf rooms and putting greens, a fitness club equipped with 1:1 personal training rooms, Pilates rooms, and GX rooms, as well as a spa club with shower and sauna facilities. In particular, the sauna facility is rare outside the Seoul metropolitan area, making it especially noteworthy.
A representative from the Grand Le Pied sales team stated, "With its reasonable high-end residential options, excellent location, and differentiated community facilities, Grand Le Pied is expected to be an attractive choice for both end-users and investors seeking premium housing in Daejeon."
The model house for Grand Le Pied, which is currently enjoying strong contract activity, is located in Bongmyeong-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon. Buyers can select their desired building and unit through on-site consultations, and visits are being accepted by advance reservation.
