The real estate market in the Seoul metropolitan area is freezing due to uncertainty over loan regulations and impeachment apartment prices in the Seoul metropolitan area eventually turned downward (-0.02%) in the fourth week of December 2024 It is the first drop in about eight months since April last year Apartment prices in Seoul also stopped rising for the first time in 41 weeks last week the decline in housing prices is noticeable there is a non-Seoul metropolitan complex that makes a report every day These are apartment complexes that were selected as the leading district of the first new city The first new city refers to the birthplace of Gyeonggi-do ▲ Seongnam-si Bundang ▲ Ilsan ▲ Anyang-si Pyeongchon ▲ Bucheon-si Middle East ▲ Gunpo-si which was developed in earnest in the 1980s Infrastructure and Transport recently selected 13 districts that will be the first to start reconstruction in five cities and announced relocation and transportation measures A total of 13 districts were selected for the first new city's leading district There are currently 36,000 households living in 13 districts Infrastructure and Transport has decided to group several apartment complexes into one area to promote integrated reconstruction This is why it is called a leading district there are a total of three leading districts in Bundang that are most interested in and Jangan Town Construction 3rd are the main characters Ilsan and Pyeongchon's leading districts were also selected three each The Middle East and Sanbon leading districts have been set at two each Geon-young) and ▲ Eunha Village (Daewoo Dongbu Jugong Complex 1 and 2) are the leading districts in the Middle East and Kukdong Baekdu apartments were designated The government and local governments plan to set up an integrated reconstruction and maintenance plan for 13 districts in the future a future city fund worth 12 trillion won will also be created It is to support the initial business expenses The goal is to start reconstruction work in 2027 and move in for the first time in 2030 About a month after the first new city's leading district was announced at the end of November 2024 which was immediately selected as a leading district saw its asking price jump by hundreds of millions of won all at once As landlords raise housing prices and offer them Infrastructure and Transport's actual transaction price disclosure system Hyundai Apartment in Bundang's demonstration complex reached its highest price on December 3 selling 189 square meters (10th floor) for 2.35 billion won It is the first time in three years and three months since August 2021 Compared to the previous record price (1.9 billion won) The 48㎡ (2nd floor) dedicated to Hanyang Apartment in Yangji Village also reached its highest price on Dec The 164㎡ (10th floor) dedicated to Daewoo Apartment in Eunha Village in the Middle East re-wrote the record It jumped 150 million won from the previous transaction in July this year A 134㎡ (10th floor) dedicated to Sanbon Far East Baekdu was also traded at 750 million won on December 4 Although it failed to break the record of the highest price (790 million won) in 2021 it was about 100 million won higher than the transaction (667 million won) two months ago which are tens of millions of won higher than before but we have to be cool-headed about whether the reconstruction project will really go well and ability to pay contributions of apartment complexes in general you can set a high apartment sale price later Even if the number of general sales households is the same as 100 the sales income of places with good location and bad location can be clearly different This is why real estate experts refer to Bundang a lot Analysis of reconstruction feasibility is also essential The floor area ratio is an indicator of space utilization The lower the current floor area ratio and the higher the future floor area ratio The less space you already use and the more space you use after reconstruction the more general sales volume will increase the floor area ratio of Saetbyeol Village and pilot complex in Bundang is low at less than 200% Bundang has been suggested as a standard floor area ratio of 315% in the reconstruction process There's quite a lot of room for floor area ratio and Sanbon have a high floor area ratio of 200% a professor at Yonsei University's Sangnam Management Center "It is difficult to see that we are securing high business feasibility." Land shares are the total land area of the apartment divided by the number of owners because it represents how much land each household has It is advantageous for reconstruction that the equilibrium composition is centered on medium and large rather than small It's relatively better than making 10 pyeong to 20 to 30 pyeong It is also questionable whether the integrated reconstruction will work well the interests of the residents of various complexes may change," adding we can judge that we have a good business feasibility but we can make contributions because of other complexes." "Designated as a leading district We may have to pay 700 to 800 million won each "We should do a basic analysis and choose a place where it can be reconstructed easily." Some say that the leading district could be a winner's curse This is because some complexes have made aggressive proposals such as promising additional public contributions to become a leading district Some say that there is enough living infrastructure to cover the growing population during the reconstruction process Water and sewage capacity and traffic volume The unstable political environment is also considered a variable This is because it is difficult to predict when the impeachment process will end If the current chaotic situation lasts for a long time it is not easy to add strength to the policy it should also be noted what position the new government will take on reconstruction and redevelopment and 36,000 households will begin reconstruction first in the first new city The goal is to establish a reconstruction maintenance plan from next year Infrastructure and Transport announced the results of the selection of the first new city's leading district on the 27th 19,948 households in three districts per minute 8,912 households in three districts in Ilsan 5,460 households in three districts in Pyeongchon 5,957 households in two districts in the Middle East and 4,620 households in two districts in Sanbon were included in the leading district The three leading districts in Bundang are Saetbyeol Village (Dongseong 1,107 households in the villa complex in Mokryeon Village in Bundang were also selected as separate maintenance supplies 12,055 households in four districts are the first to rebuild The three Seondo districts in Ilsan are Baeksong Village (1 one villa complex was included as a separate maintenance volume a total of 9,174 households in four districts will begin reorganization The leading districts of Pyeongchon are 1,750 households in Dream Village (Geumho and 1,376 households in Dream Village (Woosung Bucheon City selected 5,957 households in two apartment districts as the leading district in the Middle East Jugong Complex 1 and 2) where 2,387 households live are eligible The two Sanbon Seondo districts are 2,758 households in the Jai Lilies and Sanbon Jugong Complex 11 and 1,862 households in the Hanyang Baekdu These complexes were selected through a competition ratio of 7.6 to 1 "13 leading districts have the highest resident consent rate and public contribution rate among 99 old complexes that have applied for designation." Infrastructure and Transport and local governments plan to create a 12 trillion won Future City Fund to support financing for the successful project The reconstruction and maintenance plan for the selected leading district is planned to be established next year The 'reconstruction craze' is blowing in the first new city This is because the government has even created a special law for the first new city (special law for old-age planning cities) and supported reorganization The first new city means Gyeonggi-do ▲ Seongnam-si Bundang ▲ Ilsan ▲ Anyang-si Pyeongchon ▲ Bucheon-si Jung-dong ▲ Gunpo-si when the housing shortage in the metropolitan area was severe the government developed these five places there are currently 392,000 households (954,000 people) in five cities it is ambiguous to call it a 'new town' now that it has been a long time There are so many old apartments that have filled the reconstruction period It has established a large framework of development guidelines according to the special law the goal is to make five cities home to 537,000 households (1,242,000 people) there will also be a list of apartments that will be the first to begin reconstruction in the first new city let's take a look at the development plan in advance Let's look at the basic plan for Bundang's maintenance announced by Seongnam City The development vision is 'Bundang New Town Leap Again' ▲4th industrial special city ▲Strategic city specialized in the station area ▲ City for generational coexistence the duck station area will be turned into a growth base with high-tech industries Pangyo Station and Seongnam Station are planned to become a transfer base in the metropolitan area The appropriate development density (reference area ratio) was suggested as 315% Bundang's average floor area ratio is 174% with about 96,000 households (230,000 people) The floor area ratio is simply how much space can be used If the floor area ratio rises to 315% through reconstruction Bundang will be transformed into a city with 155,000 households (350,000 people) This means an additional 59,000 households (120,000 people) Seongnam City will pick the 'leading district' that will be the first to start the reconstruction in November 47 old complexes (59,000 households) in Bundang threw their hat in the ring last month only at least 8,000 households and up to 12,000 households can be the leading district it's too early to be disappointed just because it's falling This is because Seongnam City announced that it will constantly maintain a certain amount of supplies every year Goyang City has set Ilsan's development vision as a "vibrant and lively park city." We also set five specific goals ▲Green park city with a sense of vitality ▲Transportation city with convenience ▲Enerving self-sufficient city ▲Environmental city with a pleasant settlement ▲It is a good welfare and culture city to live in The reason why the park city is at the forefront is because Ilsan has a large park area among the metropolitan areas The area of the city park per Ilsan resident is about 10.8㎡ This is much larger than the metropolitan area (8.6 square meters per person) and Seoul (4.6 square meters per person) Goyang City is in a position to improve the old complex well in consideration of Ilsan Lake Park and Cultural Park The standard area ratio is set at 300% for apartments and 360% for residential and commercial complexes with about 104,000 households (240,000 people) living there If the floor area ratio increases through reconstruction Ilsan will be transformed into a city where 131,000 households (300,000 people) live There are 27,000 more households (60,000 people) than before Goyang City will also announce its leading district in Ilsan next month including Gangchon Village and Baekma Village only at least 6,000 to up to 9,000 households will be designated as leading districts This is the development vision of Anyang City We plan to grow a knowledge industry-based cluster around the site of the relocation of Anyang City Hall We plan to promote complex development around the station area and increase the introduction of autonomous buses It is connected to the park axis in the north-south direction to expand the green space the average floor area ratio of Pyeongchon is 204% with about 51,000 households (130,000 people) The standard floor area ratio for future reconstruction was introduced at 330% it is estimated that the number of houses will increase by 18,000 (30,000 people) Pyeongchon New Town will be transformed into a city with 69,000 households (160,000 people) There are a total of 19 old complexes in Pyeongchon a total of nine (18,000 households) are competing to be selected as the leading district the selection size is from a minimum of 4000 to a maximum of 6000 households The development vision of the Middle East created by Bucheon City is 'Middle East that contains the novelty of resembling the future' ▲Zero energy city ▲Top education and residential city ▲ Future change response city ▲ Culture and art city We plan to create complex art and exhibition halls The standard floor area ratio in the Middle East is suggested to be 350% This is because the average floor area ratio is currently 216% If the floor area ratio is increased and reconstructed in the future the number of houses in the Middle East will increase by 24,000 (40,000) from 58,000 (140,000) to 82,000 (180,000) including Mirinae Village and Vandal Village participated in the competition for the leading district This is 6.6 times more than the selected 4,000 to 6,000 households It will be decided which old complex will start rebuilding next month which is reinvented by the expansion of quality residential space and self-sufficient infrastructure." ▲The specific goal is to create a life-oriented N-bundle city ▲ a self-sufficient city for shared growth ▲ a smart mobility city ▲ a sustainable ecological city The average floor area ratio of Sanbon is around 207% The size of the house is 42,000 households (110,000 people) Gunpo City proposed a standard floor area ratio of 330% to be considered when reconstructing the number of houses in Sanbon is expected to increase to 58,000 (140,000) Nine out of 13 old complexes (20,000 households) in Sanbon applied for a leading district contest Toegye 1st and 2nd and Yulgok Jugong apartments and Sanbon Jugong apartments are promoting integrated reconstruction only at least 4,000 households and up to 6,000 households will start reconstruction first Even after being elected as a leading district there are many reconstruction steps to be taken There are quite a few difficulties to overcome such as conflicts among residents and higher construction costs it will be difficult to increase the number of 392,000 households to 537,000 Infrastructure and Transport announced a measure to develop idle land in the first new city and use it as a migrant house for circulation maintenance The National Assembly's Legislative Investigation Office pointed out in a research report on the "Problem of the Special Act on the Improvement of Old Planning Cities" that "securing vacation land can be difficult to discuss with existing land functions and ownership subjects." There are also concerns about the reconstruction of permanent rental housing which is considered another migration measure It is predicted that the backlash from permanent rental housing residents will be significant If 145,000 households (288,000 people) increase by 2035 there is also a question of whether infrastructure will hold out Infrastructure and Transport and local governments are in a position to establish transportation measures for concerned traffic congestion It is to come up with mitigation measures in consideration of the level of congestion for each wide-area transportation axis What's there?" A city where people usually react like that first which was known only as a city that was sandwiched between Seoul and Incheon and did not show a clear presence Bucheon Spring Flower Tourism Week runs until the end of May there is a song that always comes to mind when spring flowers bloom brightly and brighten the world The world outside the song is beautiful and bright but why is the spring when we meet through songs so sad Perhaps it is because it is possible to reflect on the mother's heart which is worried about her child's footsteps even if she is destined to be abandoned deep in the mountains I am suddenly grateful for two or three months of spring because of the greetings given by flowers and the comfort given by nature Bucheon is now announcing the beginning of the "five-colored spring flower tour."
