[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] Approximately 800,000 housing units are expected to be supplied over the next two years. This represents a 26% increase compared to the past two years.

According to the 'Apartment Move-in Schedule' jointly released by Real Estate R114 and the Korea Real Estate Board on the 31st, the scheduled move-in volume nationwide from January this year to December next year is 795,822 units. The metropolitan area accounts for 400,276 units, and non-metropolitan areas account for 395,546 units.

The total apartment move-in volume for 2021-2022 was 633,021 units, and it is projected that the volume will increase by 26% over the next two years.

By region, Gyeonggi has the highest number with 257,848 units. This is followed by ▲Incheon 80,676 units ▲Daegu 63,858 units ▲Seoul 61,752 units ▲Chungnam 50,659 units ▲Busan 40,596 units ▲Gyeongnam 39,480 units ▲Gyeongbuk 38,054 units.

Kim Hee-bang, CEO of Real Estate R114, said, "This statistic is meaningful in that it can predict the supply level by region and help alleviate housing market instability."
