Supply Cliff Accelerates in North Jeolla... Scarcity of New Complex "Gunsan Sinyeoksekwon Yedaeum" Highlighted in Gunsan

The nationwide housing market remains shrouded in uncertainty. In the Seoul metropolitan area and major cities, the financial burden caused by loan regulations and high interest rates has yet to be resolved. Meanwhile, small and medium-sized cities in the provinces are facing a different risk: a sharp decline in new housing supply. Although the specific concerns vary by region, the question of "what choice to make now" is a common dilemma across the country.

In particular, amid an uncertain supply environment where even moving in within one or two years cannot be guaranteed, end-users now have to consider not only the sale price but also the move-in schedule, changes in regulations, and overall supply trends. As more cases emerge where people win the right to purchase a home but are unable to actually move in, "the possibility of stable occupancy" itself has become a new premium factor in the market.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the number of new apartment units scheduled for occupancy in North Jeolla Province in the first half of 2027 is expected to reach only 1,224. This represents a dramatic decline of more than 80% compared to 2025, signaling the possibility of a "supply cliff" in the near future. In particular, Gunsan in North Jeolla Province has a high proportion of aging apartments and few large-scale private developments, making newly built complexes available for actual occupancy even more scarce.

Against this backdrop, attention is focusing on "Gunsan Sinyeoksekwon Yedaeum" by Youngmoo Construction. Currently, major construction companies such as POSCO E&C, DL E&C, and Youngmoo Construction are preparing to open new complexes in Gunsan. Among them, this complex is the last in Gunsan to be subject to the price ceiling system, and it is evaluated as offering a reasonable sale price compared to the surrounding market, immediate move-in availability, and a location favorable for actual residence. In addition, expectations for the development of the Gunsan Sinyeoksekwon area and the expansion of local infrastructure are further fueling interest from both investors and end-users.

A sales representative explained, "Recently, the housing market has moved beyond simple price competition, with the timing of occupancy and supply visibility becoming more valuable factors. In particular, in Gunsan, the burden of jeonse (lump-sum rental deposit) has increased, with some complexes seeing the jeonse-to-sale price ratio approach 90%. As a result, more people are considering switching to purchasing new homes for actual residence, and this complex is being recognized as a practical alternative that offers price, location, and occupancy stability."
