Korea Apartment Transactions (MOLIT sale records, English)

Look up what apartments actually sold for in South Korea, district by district and month by month, from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (국토교통부) registered sale records. Each record gives:

• the price in won (KRW) and the deal date (the contract date)
• the apartment name, building (동), floor, build year, and the road-name and lot address
• the exclusive floor area in m² and pyeong (평, 1 평 = 3.305785 m²)
• broker or direct sale, and whether the buyer and seller were individuals or corporations
• whether the sale was cancelled, and when (cancelDate)

Search by the 5-digit district code (법정동 시군구 코드), for one or up to twelve months, optionally filtered by part of the apartment name. No API key or Korean account needed.

Typical uses

• Property investors and proptech teams — recent sale prices for a district before a viewing or a bid.
• Relocation and expat support — what a 84 m² apartment in Gangnam-gu went for last month, in English.
• Market monitoring — track one district's price per pyeong month by month.
• AI agents — "What did apartments in 대치동 sell for in September 2025?", "Recent sales of the 은마 complex".

Input

Field	Description
regionCode	Required. 5-digit district code, e.g. 11680 (강남구, Gangnam-gu, Seoul). Use the 5-digit code of the city or district, not a province code.
dealMonths	One to twelve months as YYYYMM, e.g. ["202509"]. Not in the future. Default: the previous calendar month.
aptNameContains	Optional. Part of the Korean apartment name, e.g. 래미안 or 아이파크. Spaces are ignored.
maxResults	Newest deal first, 1-1000. Default 100.

Example:

{ "regionCode": "11680", "dealMonths": ["202509", "202508"], "aptNameContains": "은마", "maxResults": 50 }

Output

  "checkedAt": "2026-10-14T00:19:16+00:00"

status	Meaning
registered	A sale record in force (billed).
cancelled	The sale was later cancelled; cancelDate gives the date (billed).
lookup_failed	The official list did not answer; retry later (free).

Field notes:

• priceKrw is the full price in won. The source publishes 만원 units; the Actor multiplies by 10,000.
• dealingType is broker (중개거래) or direct (직거래). buyerType and sellerType are individual or corporate as the source states them.
• building is empty for complexes without 동 numbers.
• lotNumber is the 지번 (lot number) within the district. It is a public land address, as in the registry.
• Buyer and seller names are never published by the source and are not in the output. The estate agent's office district is dropped.

Limits — what is not included

• Sale records only. Rentals (전세·월세), presale rights (분양권) and non-apartment homes (연립·다세대, officetels) are not in this Actor. A companion rental dataset exists at data.go.kr 15126474 and is not yet offered.
• Names and text are in Korean, as published: apartment names, districts and road names. Only field names and labels are English.
• Publication lag. Each month's contracts appear after the registration deadline, about a month after the deal. The newest month can be partial.
• One district per run. Province-wide sweeps need one run per district code.
• No address search. There is no search by address or by apartment ID; use regionCode plus aptNameContains.
• A run reads up to 20,000 source rows per month, and returns at most maxResults records.

Pricing

Pay per record returned: $0.002 per sale record (trade-record), registered or cancelled. Use maxResults to cap a run. Empty results, invalid inputs and failed lookups are free. A month with no sales returns an empty result and is not charged.
