Two people sell the same home after the same ten years. One pays 2.62m, the other 14.23m. Holding is not what separates them.

Sell above KRW 1.2bn as a one-home household and a sixth step appears — apportionment. It is why crossing the line does not mean a big bill.

Almost every write-up says “here is what changes from 2027.” But this goes to the National Assembly on 3 September. One axis runs through all of it — not how long you held the home, but how long you lived in it.

From 10 May 2026 the multi-home surcharge is back: +20 points for two homes in adjusted areas, +30 for three or more, and no long-term holding deduction.
