Among them, 16,883 out of the scheduled 18,643 general-sale units received subscriptions, achieving a sales performance rate of 91%.

Kim Eun-jin, a lab head at Zigbang, said, "Amid the recent upward trend in housing prices in the metropolitan area and an increase in subscription demand, complexes that had been adjusting their sales schedules concentrated their supply in September," adding, "A large volume of sales is also scheduled for October, and it remains to be seen how much of that will actually be supplied."
