According to Bloomberg, the South Korean government has imposed stricter real estate restrictions on areas outside Seoul near the country’s semiconductor hub. The move follows a semiconductor industry boom that drove sharp local home price increases and sparked concerns over speculative property purchases. South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport designated Dongtan District in Hwaseong City, Giheung District in Yongin City, and Guri City as speculative zones, with stricter lending restrictions taking effect on July 1. These three areas will also be subject to land transaction permit requirements starting July 5. The ministry stated that the measures aim to curb speculative purchases, protect genuine housing demand, strengthen housing market monitoring, and accelerate housing supply plans. The new rules come as Seoul apartment prices have risen for 73 consecutive weeks, signaling limited effectiveness of previous government efforts to cool the property market. Once the regulations take effect, 25 districts in Seoul and 15 areas in Gyeonggi Province will be designated as restricted zones.
