The supply of private apartments for sale nationwide next year is expected to exceed 180,000 units. That is a slight increase from this year.
According to Real Estate R114 on the 29th, the nationwide supply of private apartments for sale in 2026 was found to be 187,525 units. That falls somewhat short of the recent three-year average of 198,000 units. However, it is 6,000 units more than this year's private apartment sales volume of 181,138 units.
In 2026, the share of private apartment sales will be 58% (109,446 units) in the greater Seoul area and 42% (78,079 units) in the provinces. Real Estate R114 said, "Due to rising construction costs, demographic shifts, and changing housing preferences, supply is being reorganized around areas with relatively secure profitability," adding, "the concentration in the greater Seoul area is likely to continue for the time being."
Meanwhile, among the private apartment sales supply in 2026, in-house projects (including contracted construction) account for 51.5% (96,543 units), and redevelopment and reconstruction projects (including remodeling) account for 43.5% (81,512 units).
