The results of a recent survey on the volume of commercial real estate transactions (including building sales, property sales, detached houses, multi-family homes, land, etc.), excluding collective residential properties (apartments, multiplexes, row houses, and pre-sale commercial complexes), across the 25 districts of Seoul for the year 2025 have been released.

Silgeorae.com, a company specializing in free direct transactions and real transaction price research for commercial real estate, recently announced the rankings and total transaction volumes for all 25 districts in Seoul for the previous year.

According to the survey, the total transaction amount for all of Seoul reached 35.5 trillion won. Gangnam District ranked first with 9 trillion won, followed by Jung District (3.7 trillion won) in second place, Seocho District (3.48 trillion won) in third, Jongno District (3.44 trillion won) in fourth, and Dobong District ranked last with 120 billion won.

In terms of average transaction price per property, Gangnam District ranked first at 21.13 billion won, followed by Seocho District (14.5 billion won), Jung District (10.4 billion won), Jongno District (7.6 billion won), and Guro District ranked lowest at 1.47 billion won. The district with the highest number of transactions was Yongsan District (465 transactions), followed by Jongno District (454 transactions), Gangnam District (427 transactions), and Dobong District ranked last with 66 transactions.

Of the total transaction amount of 35.5 trillion won in Seoul, the three Gangnam districts (Gangnam, Seocho, Songpa) alone accounted for as much as 14 trillion won, representing 39.44% of the total.

Jongbok Park, Director of Naheyo Academy, who operates Silgeorae.com, stated, "Summarizing the results of this survey, it is clear that Gangnam District ranked first both in total transaction volume (9 trillion won) and in the highest average transaction price per property (21.13 billion won). This indicates that there is a concentration of large capital flows in building and property sales in affluent neighborhoods, regardless of the economic downturn, and this trend warrants close attention."
