When I suddenly thought about moving to Jin-gu, Busan, I felt really lost.
You can find it on a map, but it's not easy to know what neighborhood it actually is.
So, based on the stories I heard from roommates while visiting over 1,000 houses, I wrote down the characteristics of each region.
I made this for people coming up to Seoul from the countryside (I want to make it nationwide someday).

When you decide to buy a house and start searching for information about "house-hunting" online, you come across a lot of unfamiliar terms, see scary news about "real estate lease scams," and even see complaints about the house being seriously defective after signing a hasty contract.
When looking for a home, it can be difficult to get a feel for how much it will cost or which home to choose.
In that sense, once you've found a house, you've accomplished 50% of the journey of living alone.

It's definitely a good idea to go with someone with a lot of real estate experience.
However, if you have no choice but to go alone, visit as many real estate agencies as possible and find a ‘good real estate agent.’
This means that looking at houses is an area that requires a certain amount of experience.
That's why there are cases where beginners 'don't even know what they don't know, so they can't even ask questions.'
I'm already an adult, but somehow I feel like a child when it comes to real estate.

First, if you find a house you want to sign a contract for, you must confirm the mortgage (how much debt there is) on the house while expressing your intention to sign the contract.
To find out, you need to look at the 'Certificate of Complete Registration (hereinafter referred to as the 'Registration Book')' of that house. The registration book is an official certificate equivalent to a resident registration copy for a person, and it means that it is applied to real estate such as a house or land.
In other words, to put it simply, it is an ‘identification card for the house.’

The confirmation date is when I confirm with the government that I have entered into a lease agreement and stamp the date of confirmation.
However, it is not about checking whether the contract I made is a good contract or not, but rather 'making it known that a contract has been made'.
To confirm the date, ① go to the community center of the place you moved to and ② take your ID and contract with you.
If you ask to receive a confirmation date without having to write a separate document, the person in charge will issue it for you.

Currently, most real estate listings in Seoul's 25 districts are leveling off.
Therefore, the price of a house varies depending on the object and condition.
The market prices and regional characteristics described here should only be used as trends. For accurate listing information and neighborhood-specific characteristics, please visit a real estate agency in your desired area and inquire.
Also, since it is limited to checking all types of single-family homes, we will focus on studio/monthly rent and jeonse (lease) properties here.

There is a saying, “There is no such thing as a cheap and good house.”
Of course, it's not 100% true, but the reason this saying exists is because there are houses that you should be wary of, rather than blindly liking just because they are cheap, spacious, and nice compared to the market price.
Let's learn about various types of housing, including 'one-room' housing, which is a type of housing where many single-person households, including those just starting out in society, live, and houses where 'it's a house, but it's not a house' applies.
These types of houses require special attention before signing a contract.

Earlier, when explaining about general rental business operators, I mentioned that it is often difficult to report the move-in of the houses they own.
This is because these houses are registered in the building register as commercial, not residential, properties.
This is because when you register a house as a commercial building, you can utilize the floor area ratio (the ratio of the total floor area of ​​the building to the land area, i.e. the sum of the floor areas of each floor) and the building coverage ratio (the ratio of the floor area of ​​the building to the land area) more even for the same area.
However, if you have no choice but to contract a house like this, you can protect yourself in the following ways.
