Seoul Metro Apartment Trades Point to a Split Market in Mid-2026

A batch of registered apartment sales logged in South Korea’s official real-transaction disclosure system (국토교통부 실거래가 공개시스템) between June 29 and July 6, 2026, points to a widening price gap across the Seoul metropolitan area: riverside complexes in Hanam and select Seoul districts are clearing 1.4 to 1.6 billion won, while comparably sized units in Incheon’s Songdo and Yongin’s Giheung remain anchored in the 600–900 million won range. All figures below are drawn from the same government disclosure system, which records the contract price, floor, and unit size of each completed sale.

Hanam and Seoul anchor the top of the range

The single highest print in this batch was in Hanam. A 96㎡ unit at Misa Riverside Central Xi in Pungsan-dong sold for 1.635 billion won on June 29, and an 84㎡ unit at Misa Riverside Prugio in Mangwol-dong reached 1.438 billion won the same day. Both complexes sit in the Misa riverside district that has commanded a premium over surrounding Gyeonggi supply.

Seoul’s mid-tier districts tracked close behind. In Yeongdeungpo-gu, a 114㎡ unit at Singil Samsung Raemian traded at 1.408 billion won on July 3, and an 84㎡ unit at Daerim Hyundai 3-cha reached 1.335 billion won on July 2. In Yangcheon-gu’s Sinjeong-dong, an 84㎡ unit at Sinteuri 3-danji cleared 1.385 billion won on July 2 — while a much smaller 49㎡ unit at neighboring Sinteuri 1-danji still fetched 890 million won on July 3, underscoring how tightly priced compact Seoul stock remains.

Songdo and Yongin cluster far lower

Incheon’s Songdo, despite its newer inventory, sat well below the Seoul and Hanam prints. An 84㎡ unit at Songdo SK VIEW sold for 698 million won on June 30, and an 84㎡ unit at The Sharp Songdo Marina Bay reached 650 million won the same day. A 59㎡ unit at The Sharp Central City closed at 699 million won on June 29, and a 70㎡ unit at e-Pyeonhan Sesang Songdo went for 560 million won on June 30.

Yongin’s Giheung-gu showed a similar ceiling. The standout there was a 84㎡ unit at Giheung Station Centreville Prugio at 985 million won on June 29, while an 84㎡ unit at Blooming Guseong The Central reached 920 million won on June 30. Most other Giheung 84㎡ sales — including two separate contracts at Sindongbaek Lotte Castle Eco 1-danji at 645 million and 650 million won — stayed in the mid-600 million range.

Floor and timing drive visible intra-complex spreads

The data also captures how much price can move within a single complex over just days. At Giheung Station Centreville Prugio, the 985 million won June 29 sale (21st floor) was 82 million won below a 1.067 billion won contract for the same 84㎡ layout on a higher 35th floor recorded July 4. In Songdo’s e-Pyeonhan Sesang, the 560 million won sale (28th floor) ran 52 million won above a 508 million won same-size trade on the 5th floor logged July 5.

The pattern is not uniformly floor-driven. At Suwon’s Hwaseo Jugong 4-danji, a 4th-floor 59㎡ unit sold for 810 million won on June 29 — 32 million won above a 1st-floor unit of the same size the same day — consistent with a low-floor discount. But at Songdo SK VIEW, the higher 37th-floor unit (698 million won) actually printed 30 million won below a 19th-floor sale (728 million won) a few days later, indicating that day-to-day demand, not floor height alone, set the marginal price.

What the batch signals

Read together, these transactions describe a metropolitan market sorted less by unit size than by district tier: buyers were paying more than 1.3 billion won for 84–114㎡ homes in Hanam’s riverside and inner Seoul, while equivalent or larger new-build space in Songdo and Yongin changed hands for less than 700 million won. The recurring same-week, same-complex spreads of 30–80 million won further suggest thin transaction volumes, where a single high- or low-floor contract can meaningfully shift a complex’s apparent price. Because each figure here reflects one registered sale rather than an average, the levels should be read as individual data points within these disclosure records, not as market-wide valuations.
