Lottery sale price vs now · 2014–2026

After winning,
how much did they really make?

Over the last ten-odd years, some complexes in Seoul and the capital region were nicknamed "lottery" sales. How far apart are the price winners paid back then and today's actual transaction prices? Everything is matched to an 84㎡ net-area unit (the "national standard size"). Depending on floor and orientation, the actual sale price may have been higher or lower.

For readers outside Korea: cheongyak is Korea's lottery system for buying newly built apartments. Price caps often set the sale price well below market value, so winning can mean an instant paper gain. All figures are in Korean won and come from Korea's official real-transaction price database (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) and Korean news reports.
