As of June this year, the presale price per square meter (㎡) for private apartments in Seoul saw a slight decline from the previous month but remained at the second-highest level on record.

According to the private apartment presale price trends released by the Korea Housing & Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG) on the 15th, the average presale price per ㎡ for new private apartments across the country over the past year was 6.236 million won as of the end of June, a 3.69% decrease from the previous month.

The monthly average presale price calculated by HUG is not for a single month, but the average presale price of private housing projects that received presale guarantees during the 12 months leading up to the publication date, including the month in question.
