초록

I analyze Korean housing price movements to examine Korean housing market's de-synchronization from the global housing price trend after the 2007 global financial crisis. I apply Lai and Van Order(2010)'s regime switching model. Momentum, a deviation from the fundamentals, is found in Korean apartment prices after 2000. In Gangnam, the momentum was explosive up to 2007 but diminished after the global financial crisis; so did the volatility of the errors in the momentum equation. The results signal a bubble existence in Gangnam; however, lower user cost in Gangnam confirms its superstar town status explaining its prolonged house price growth. Fundamentals (such as interest rate decline and rent growth) can explain almost half of the house price movements in all cities; and, greater impact of rent growth (compared to interest rate changes) on apartment price movements helps understanding Korean market's de-synchronization from the global house price downturn. Moreover, it is suggested that the apartment prices (relative to rents) revert to a long-run trend, forecasting a price-adjustment, not a bust, in the years follow.

Abstract

I analyze Korean housing price movements to examine Korean housing market's de-synchronization from the global housing price trend after the 2007 global financial crisis. I apply Lai and Van Order(2010)'s regime switching model. Momentum, a deviation from the fundamentals, is found in Korean apartment prices after 2000. In Gangnam, the momentum was explosive up to 2007 but diminished after the global financial crisis; so did the volatility of the errors in the momentum equation. The results signal a bubble existence in Gangnam; however, lower user cost in Gangnam confirms its superstar town status explaining its prolonged house price growth. Fundamentals (such as interest rate decline and rent growth) can explain almost half of the house price movements in all cities; and, greater impact of rent growth (compared to interest rate changes) on apartment price movements helps understanding Korean market's de-synchronization from the global house price downturn. Moreover, it is suggested that the apartment prices (relative to rents) revert to a long-run trend, forecasting a price-adjustment, not a bust, in the years follow.
