Mid-sized housing companies are set to supply nearly 10,000 homes nationwide next month. The increase in supply in the metropolitan area has more than doubled compared to both the previous month and the same month last year.
The Korea Housing Association reported on August 31 that 18 member companies plan to supply a total of 9,951 homes across 19 projects in September 2026.
This marks an increase of 5,328 homes from the 4,623 units offered in the previous month, representing a growth rate of 115.2%. Compared to 4,026 homes in the same month last year, this is an increase of 5,925 homes, or 147.2%.
Regionally, the increase in supply is particularly notable in the metropolitan area. The planned supply for September in this region is 7,669 homes, up 6,174 from 1,495 homes in the previous month, a staggering increase of 413%. Compared to 1,563 homes in the same month last year, this reflects an increase of 6,106 homes, or 390.6%.
In contrast, other regions are seeing a decrease, with 2,282 homes planned, down 846 from 3,128 homes in the previous month, a 27% decline. Compared to 2,463 homes in the same month last year, this is a decrease of 181 homes, or 7.3%.
By city, Seoul leads with 3,160 homes, followed by Gyeonggi with 2,560 homes and Incheon with 1,949 homes, indicating a concentration of supply in the metropolitan area.
In provincial areas, Gyeongbuk has the highest supply with 671 homes, followed by Daegu with 381 homes, Busan with 314 homes, Chungnam with 304 homes, Ulsan with 303 homes, Gangwon with 264 homes, and Jeju with 45 homes. No planned supply has been reported for Gwangju, Daejeon, Sejong, Chungbuk, Jeonbuk, Jeonnam, or Gyeongnam in September.
As the supply in the metropolitan area significantly increases, the September subscription market is expected to show varying levels of demand based on location and pricing competitiveness.
