Sejong had the highest subscription competition rate for 10 years.

The area with the highest average apartment subscription competition rate over the past decade was Sejong Special City, which showed a competition rate of about 47 to 1.

Real Estate Info, a real estate market analyst, surveyed the average competition rate for real estate R114's applications nationwide from January 1, 2015, and found that Sejong City topped the list with 46.9 to 1.

Then, the average subscription competition rate was high in the order of Busan, Seoul, Daejeon, and Gwangju.

The high competition rate in Sejong City is attributed to the relatively reasonable price of being able to subscribe anywhere in the country and switching to pre-sale after the mandatory rental period ends.

In addition, expectations for the opening of the Chungcheong Metropolitan Railway, Daejeon Subway Line 2, Seoul-Sejong Expressway, and the completion of the administrative capital such as the National Assembly Sejong Capitol are likely to have stimulated buying sentiment.
