Episode Description:
Would a 5 billion won home tax line touch your building — and what will your next mortgage cost?
President Lee Jae-myung signaled that owner-occupied homes above roughly 5 billion won ($3.6 million) could face a separate, higher comprehensive real estate tax bracket, with a national survey and a July 23 presidential forum ahead of a late-July tax package. Rising deposit rates and a five-year treasury yield at 4.041% point to higher fixed mortgage rates. Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon proposed raising relocation-loan LTV to 70%, citing 11% annual growth in Seoul apartment prices. LH also began early compensation for the 67,000-home Gwangmyeong-Siheung district.
