Overview
- Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol said the package will be unveiled this week to stabilize the market as Seoul prices climb again.
- Koo emphasized expanding housing supply over using taxes to suppress demand, while noting that tax discussions continue with no final decisions.
- Financial authorities indicate likely demand-side tightening, including lower loan-to-value limits for high-priced homes and broader debt-service rules that count jeonse loans.
- Officials are weighing wider regulation maps and land-transaction restrictions, with potential additions such as Mapo, Seongdong and Bundang districts.
- Land Minister Kim Yun-duk said June lending curbs and September supply steps had only partial effects, as data show Seoul apartment prices rose 0.27 percent in September.
