Episode Description:
Seoul just fast-tracked its most famous redevelopment in seven months — while new buyer curbs sent asking prices jumping one district over within a day.
In today's AI PRISM: Real Estate, we cover Seoul's approval of the 4,424-unit Eunma complex's rebuild into a 5,850-unit, 49-story project — 25 years in the making and now targeting a 2028 groundbreaking, one day after Jamsil Jugong Complex 5 cleared the same stage. We track the spillover from the June 30 regulation of Dongtan, Giheung, and Guri, where asking prices in neighboring Suwon jumped 70 million won — about 45,000 dollars — overnight, and Seoul jeonse's 5.10 percent climb this year, now nearly level with sale-price gains. Plus: the OECD says Korea's property taxes run double its average share of GDP and should shift from transactions to holdings, and POBA deploys 220 million euros into European student housing through Nuveen.
