Those prices seem a bit low, but considering that the website only deals with one-room apartments in the less-desirable southwestern part of Seoul, I don't think they are unreasonable.
I know that in other parts of Seoul, rent has stayed the same or gone up. I looked at 33-pyeong apartments in Dongbu-Ichon-dong recently. Last year, they were 50 million down and 2.2 million a month. Now, they are still 50 million down, but most of them seem to go for 2.4 or 2.5 million a month. I guess it depends on the neighborhood. |

| Yeah, I always figured one rooms wanted 10 Mill Deposit and 500,000 won a month in Seoul. But, the site also showed office tels too. Guess, if I ever moved to Seoul, I'll know where to look. They all seemed new too. I wasn't sure where that was. It's SW part of Seoul? |

| Rent has stayed similar, but prices have fallen in certain areas for those buying and selling. There has also been a shift in popularity from jeonsae to weolsae, but weolsae prices are still pretty high. Most 10-20 year old places start around 20 mil / 1k a month for a 2-3 bedroom. |

Those on-line places always post cheapies to lure people in. Give them a call. Oh, that one? Sorry, that's gone. And THAT one? That was gone immediately. Give them a call and try. Crock of shiite.
If you're looking to rent, put boots on the ground in the hood you like and hit all the real estate places. The on-line services blow. |

Quite often that is the case. |

It's absurd that in a country with such excellent IT infrastructure and where you can order practically anything on the Internet at any time, you still have to do real estate shopping the old fashioned way.  |

I seem to recall a year or two ago the government started cracking down on that, also the signs in the windows. All the realtors used to have their windows lined with ads for places, many of them very cheap which would get people in, but they were never real. These days you barely see any price signs at all, at least in my area, none of the places I ever walk by ever have the signs like they used to. |
