April move-in supply in the greater Seoul area was found to be 8,193 households, a level similar to this month.
According to a survey by ZIGBANG CO. on the 23rd, the April 2026 move-in supply was tallied at 16,311 units. This is 10.5% more than the same period a year earlier (14,763 units) and 34.8% higher than the previous month (12,098 units).
By region, 8,193 units will move in across the greater Seoul area and 8,118 units in the provinces. The greater Seoul area inched up from the previous month (8,014 units), while the provinces nearly doubled from the previous month (4,084 units), driving an increase in nationwide April move-ins. In the greater Seoul area, Seoul and Incheon increased from the previous month, but Gyeonggi declined slightly, keeping the overall level similar to the previous month.
Seoul will see 1,121 units move in across three complexes. Cheongnyangni Lotte Castle High Luce (761 units), supplied through a redevelopment project near Cheongnyangni Station, will begin occupancy in late April. Harrington Place Nowon Central with 299 units in Sanggye-dong, Nowon District, and Sindorim Station Dongmun The East with 61 units in Guro-dong, Guro District, are set to start move-ins.
Gyeonggi Province will see a total of 5,224 units move in across four complexes. ▲ Uijeongbu 1,816 units ▲ Gwangju 1,690 units ▲ Osan 1,068 units ▲ Goyang 650 units. In Uijeongbu, Hills State Hoeryong Station Park View in Howon-dong (1,816 units) will begin occupancy. In Gwangju, Gwangju The Park Vista Desiang at Yeok-dong (1,690 units) will, and in Osan, Osan Segyo Paragon in Gwol-dong (1,068 units) will begin occupancy. In Goyang's Ilsandong District, Joongang Heights Janghang (A2) (650 units), located in the Janghang public housing site, is set to start move-ins.
Incheon will see 1,848 units move in across four complexes. Together, Sigyomdan Jungang Station The H Edu (AA20BL) in Bullo-dong, Seo District (781 units), and Geomdan New Town Lotte Castle Nextiel in Wondang-dong, Seo District (372 units), will begin occupancy, concentrating supply in the Geomdan new town. In Hakik-dong, Michuhol District, Forena Incheon Hakik with 562 units will move in, and in Dongchun-dong, Yeonsu District, Yeonsu World Meridien Urban Fore with 133 units will move in.
In the provinces, 8,118 units across nine complexes will move in. ▲ Gwangju 4,029 units ▲ Daegu 3,289 units ▲ North Chungcheong 800 units. The two metropolitan cities of Gwangju and Daegu account for most of the provincial supply, leading the increase in provincial move-ins.
In Gwangju, Unam Xi Forena Pastiche phases 1, 2 and 3 in Unam-dong, Buk District, will move in with 998 units, 1,486 units and 730 units, respectively, for a total of 3,214 units. As large-scale complexes created through a reconstruction project move in at once, there could be short-term effects on jeonse and sales supply-demand around Unam-dong. In Gyerim-dong, Dong District, 815 units at Gyodae Station Moa Elga Grande will move in, concentrating supply in Gwangju's downtown area.
Daegu Metropolitan City will see 3,289 units move in. Daemyeong Xi Grand City (2,023 units) in Daemyeong-dong, Nam District, and, in Sincheon-dong, Dong District, Venture Valley Prugio (540 units) and Hillstate Dongdaegu Central (481 units) will move in side by side, continuing new occupancy around East Daegu. In addition, in North Chungcheong Province, 800 units at Cheongju Dongil Highvill Park Lane Phase 2 in Gaesin-dong, Seowon District, Cheongju, are scheduled to move in.
Although April move-in supply increased 34.8% from the previous month, it is difficult to see this as a phase of nationwide supply expansion, as supply is heavily concentrated in some areas such as Gwangju and Daegu. The greater Seoul area remains at a level similar to the previous month, and the overall move-in trend is continuing without major change. Accordingly, the impact of move-ins is more likely to appear centered on regions with concentrated supply rather than spreading nationwide. Areas with sufficient demand can digest the supply relatively smoothly, but areas without it may see short-term price pressure from a rise in listings at the time of move-in.
A ZIGBANG CO. official said, "It appears to reflect the market's concerns about tighter regulations, such as strengthened lending restrictions on new apartments and the possibility of higher property holding taxes," adding, "With external uncertainties such as conflict in the Middle East overlapping with domestic tax changes, volatility in the housing market has grown, making it a time when continuous monitoring of the move-in market is needed."
