Due to the recent nationwide shortage of jeonse (long-term lease) properties, the jeonse prices for apartments in Daegu have been steadily rising from June through August. According to Korea Real Estate Board, apartment jeonse prices in Daegu turned upward in the first week of June, and by the first week of August, even Buk-gu in Daegu saw a noticeable increase of 0.02%.


Unlike the sales market, the continued upward trend in jeonse prices has heightened the interest of genuine home seekers aiming to secure stable rental homes under their desired conditions. As people weigh the burden of having to find new homes each time their contract ends and the need to ensure the safety of their security deposits, private rental apartments that offer stable, long-term residency are emerging as an attractive alternative.


This trend demonstrates how a rational consumption pattern focused on minimizing financial risks has become deeply entrenched in the housing market amid uncertainty in the real estate sector.


Amidst this climate, even in the heat, queues are forming in front of the 'Hoban Summit Hive Park' showroom in Chilseong-dong, Buk-gu, Daegu, drawing significant consumer attention.


'Hoban Summit Hive Park' is a private rental apartment complex where residents can live in a jeonse format stably for up to ten years. Its key feature is that tenants can settle in one place for an extended period, relieving the burden of having to relocate every time jeonse prices fluctuate. The safety of the rental deposit also stands out, as it is protected by a rental deposit guarantee provided by the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG). This function is receiving increased attention from renters who have recently become concerned about the safety of their deposit.


In addition, 'Hoban Summit Hive Park' is competitive as a housing product itself. Popular options such as a separate entry hall, system air conditioner, built-in closets in the main bedroom, and expanded balconies are provided free of charge, reducing initial move-in costs for residents.


The location is also a major advantage. Situated within the Chimsan living area, the apartments are close to Chilseong Elementary School, Chimsan Middle School, Daegu Il Middle School, and Chilseong High School, and offer convenient access to major transportation arteries such as Sincheon-daero and Daegu Station. Large supermarkets and a range of cultural and sports facilities are readily available in the area. The complex is uniquely positioned at a major intersection, providing unimpeded views. Furthermore, a trendy street-style shopping arcade will be created on the ground floor of the complex, allowing residents to enjoy both housing and lifestyle amenities within the same development.


According to a spokesperson for the sales agency, "As jeonse prices continue to rise, renters are now prioritizing not just finding a rental home, but securing housing where they can stay safely and for a long period. In fact, a considerable number of our tenants have turned to private rental apartments due to landlord demands for higher deposits and rising area-wide jeonse prices. Given the current real estate environment, 'Hoban Summit Hive Park' serves as a rational option for real home seekers in Daegu."



'Hoban Summit Hive Park' is available for immediate move-in, and contracts for the remaining units are currently processed on a first-come, first-served basis. The sales gallery is located on the first floor of the complex’s commercial area in Chilseong-dong, Buk-gu, Daegu. With contracts closing quickly, it is essential to check availability before visiting.
