Original: Rate hikes fail to cool Korea's housing expectations, mortgage demand
South Korea's housing market continues to defy expectations of a slowdown, as rising interest rates have not dampened mortgage demand or price expectations among homebuyers. Reporting by The Korea Times highlights that households keep borrowing and buying despite higher borrowing costs, underscoring the difficulty policymakers face in cooling the market through monetary tightening alone.
Why now: Ongoing debate over whether interest rate hikes can actually slow Korea's resilient housing market and surging mortgage demand.
