Reporter's NotebookGhost and apartment prices
Koreans half-jokingly say that even ghosts cannot precisely predict the fluctuation of real estate value in the short term. Experience tells us that it is impossible to forecast the ups and downs of property value if the market is efficient. The Korean real estate market is also unpredictable.
