Short-term rental platform corporations 33m2 said on the 9th that it set a record high by surpassing 150 billion won in transaction amount in the first half. 33m2's annual transaction amount last year was 188 billion won, so this year it achieved 80% of the previous year's performance in just the first half. Cumulative transaction amount since the service launch also exceeded 450 billion won.
The number of contracts in the first half exceeded 120,000. The annual transaction count, which was only 600 in 2021, reached 20,000 in 2023, 160,000 in 2025, and is continuing to rise this year.
Currently, 33m2 is operating with about 120,000 rooms secured nationwide. Since the launch of the English-language service at the end of last year, the inflow of foreign office workers, international students, and long-stay travelers to Korea has increased, and the share of overseas payments now exceeds 20%.
33m2 CEO Park Heong-joon said, "Demand to find a home to live in short-term for only as long as needed in daily life will continue to grow," adding, "As a platform that has led the domestic short-term rental market for seven years, we will resolve short-term housing gaps and continue innovation in the real estate market based on a safe transaction environment and advanced accumulated data."
