Seoul
Seoul is South Korea's deepest market, with dense employment, universities and infrastructure, but low yields and heavy policy overlays. In the South Korea beta page it should be read as a practical diligence market, not a headline destination: tenant depth, local regulation, exit liquidity and building-level permissions decide the outcome. Demand is mainly supported by Finance and technology, Universities, Metro infrastructure, while the investor case is strongest as a selective buy-and-hold allocation. For Israeli buyers, the key is to verify title, bank/KYC, tax registration, local property management and STR legality before relying on gross yield. The row therefore uses conservative sourced fields and keeps unsupported STR yield cells null rather than inventing performance.

Local STR Rules — Seoul
Short-stay accommodation is licence/category sensitive. Foreign tourist urban homestay and lodging activity should be checked with local district and tourism registration rules before underwriting.

Market Review — Seoul
South Korea is liquid, sophisticated and policy-sensitive. Seoul has deep demand but compressed yields and heavy housing-policy intervention; Busan, Incheon and Daejeon require city-by-city rental and exit analysis.
For an Israeli buyer, the main risks are FX, bank appetite, lease-deposit structures and STR licensing. The market is not a plug-and-play Western rental model; local counsel and management are mandatory.
CASABROVA treats Korea as a specialist allocation. It can work for buyers with local operating support, but it should not be priced like a simple offshore apartment purchase.
