In short

A new apartment complex with 1,801 units will be sold along the Hangang riverside in Banpo-dong.

If you win the lottery, you can expect capital gains of up to 2.7 billion won.

However, even if you win the lottery for an 84㎡ unit, you must prepare 2.8 billion won in cash directly.

What it means for me

Winning high-end apartment subscriptions depends more on cash liquidity than mortgage availability.

Full-time workers struggle to prepare 2.8 billion won in cash from salary alone.

Self-employed people cannot enjoy subscription lottery benefits without liquid assets.

Retirees find it difficult to secure cash without selling existing real estate.
