‘최근 1년간 30%’…전국 아파트값 가장 많이 오른 곳은 ‘분당’

Over the past year, apartment prices in Sangnam-gu, in the southern part of Seoul, have risen by a notable 30%. According to direct data analysis by the Korea Mortgage Financial Services, the Sangnam-gu district of Seoul has experienced the highest year-over-year price increase among all cities nationwide. This surge in prices can be attributed to anticipation of reconstruction and remodeling projects, with key areas such as Yeotan-dong, Seocho-dong, and Gumi-dong leading the charge.

Other cities that saw significant price increases include Gwangmyeong (28.4%), Seoul Dongjak-gu (25.3%), Uijeongbu Seo-gu (24.8%), and Seoul Gunji-gu (23.8%). The top 10 cities with the highest price increases are all located within the Seoul metropolitan area. In Seoul, districts outside of Gangnam, such as Dongjak and Gunji, experienced relatively higher growth rates compared to the more affluent Gangnam region.

While Seoul Gangnam, Seoul Seocho, and Seoul Songpa were among the top performers last year, their growth rates have since decreased to 6.8% and 22.6% for Gangnam and Dongjak respectively. Conversely, Dongjak-gu's growth rate has expanded from 15.6% to 22.6%, Dongjak-gu's from 12.7% to 25.3%, and Gunji-gu's from 4.6% to 22.4%. In Gwangmyeong, the recent price growth is primarily driven by developments in the Cheonsan-dong reconstruction project, with prices climbing from a 3.8% increase last year to an impressive 28.4% in the past year.

The average price per 3.3㎡ (based on supply area and family size) stands at 37.1 million won in Hanam, 35.6 million won in Gwangmyeong, 28.9 million won in Uijeongbu Seo-gu, and 27.04 million won in Hanam Dongtan. The increase in transaction volume for these areas is evident, with Gwangmyeong, Uijeongbu Seo-gu, Hanam, Dongjak-gu, and Hanam Dongtan entering the top 10 in terms of transaction volume over the past year.

Meanwhile, cities such as Ansan (-55.9%), Gangnam (-28.6%), and Seocho (-26.9%), which were previously in the top ranks, have witnessed a decline in transaction volume. The direct finance department has noted that recent regulatory measures, such as the expansion of designated areas and stricter loan limits for high-priced properties, along with higher taxes on premium homes, may have led to a shift in demand towards more affordable regions.
