In the past two years, South Korean real estate market downturn, turnover record in February this year, the lowest level in seven years, housing prices in Seoul has reached the lowest level since the 2008 financial crisis. According to South Korean media reports, South Korea's new government of the activation of the tricks of the real estate market are mainly two words, tax cuts.

Into the 21st century, Kim Dae-jung government has been to the Roh Moo-hyun government, in order to improve this uneven condition of the real estate, real estate policy constantly surgery. Later, the late Roh Moo-hyun administration given the multi-property owners a very heavy tax burden, a serious blow to the rich in real estate investment, the Seoul and its surrounding cities, housing prices continue to fall, is seen as the most obvious Seoul rich district of Gangnam-gu, the most expensive residential prices reportedly almost dropped to 1/3.
