Even if dates appear in search results or presale schedules, they cannot be considered confirmed unless a recruitment announcement has been posted.\n\nInformation is circulating that applications will be concentrated after August 18, 2026, but the announcement for each complex is the final authority on the actual application dates and eligibility. Applicants should review their eligibility, the number of units available, and payment dates as soon as the announcement is issued, rather than waiting until the application date.\n\n## Application Requirements and Materials to Check First\n\nThe criteria for the following items may differ by complex. Be sure to check the announcement date, the reference date for regional priority supply, and the eligibility wording in the housing recruitment announcement together.\n\n### Eligibility Checklist\n\n- **Area of residence:** Check whether only Seoul residents may apply or whether Seoul residents receive priority supply before residents of the Seoul metropolitan area may compete.\n- **Period of residence:** Check whether the period of continuous residence in Seoul is included in the priority supply criteria. Do not calculate it arbitrarily based only on the move-in date in your resident registration; follow the calculation method in the announcement.\n- **Age and head of household:** Check the applicant’s age, whether the applicant must be the head of the household, and whether household members may apply for each supply type.\n- **No-homeownership requirement:** Check whether not only the applicant but all household members defined in the announcement must meet the no-homeownership requirement.\n- **Housing subscription savings account:** Review the account type, subscription period, required deposit by region and unit size, number of payments, and recognized payment amount.\n- **Restriction on re-winning:** Check the applicant’s and household members’ past winning history, restrictions on re-winning, and history of winning special supply units.\n- **Income and assets:** Special supply categories, such as newlyweds and first-time homebuyers, may apply separate household size, income, and asset criteria.\n- **Exceptions to homeownership:** Small or low-priced homes, inherited homes, and similar properties may be treated differently depending on the system and supply type, so check the definitions in the announcement.\n\n### Materials to Prepare in Advance\n\n1. A means of identity verification that can be used on 청약Home\n2. Household information that will appear on resident registration certificates and abstracts and family relationship certificates\n3. The housing subscription savings account opening date, number of payments, recognized payment amount, and deposit information\n4. Past homeownership and housing subscription winning history for the applicant and household members\n5. Marriage, birth, income, asset, or employment-related documents required for special supply\n6. Personal funds that can be mobilized immediately for the contract deposit and funding sources for subsequent payments\n\nEven if not all documents must be uploaded during the application process, an applicant may be disqualified if eligibility cannot be proven during the post-selection document review. Do not rely solely on automatically retrieved results shown on the screen; verify that they match the original records.\n\n## How to Check the August 2026 Seoul Housing Subscription Schedule\n\nThis article is not automatically synchronized with real-time announcement data from 청약Home. Therefore, rather than treating dates for a specific complex as a fixed, confirmed schedule, it is safer to check the current announcement in the following order.\n\n| Verification step | Setting or item to check | Standard for confirmation |\n|---|---|---|\n| 1 | Select August 2026 in the 청약Home subscription calendar | Check whether the application schedule appears on the calendar |\n| 2 | Narrow the region to Seoul and search APT announcements | Open the original housing recruitment announcement for the complex |\n| 3 | Check special supply, first-priority, and second-priority dates | The supply schedule table in the announcement must match the 청약Home application screen |\n| 4 | Check amended announcements | Check whether the schedule, number of units, or eligibility changed after the initial announcement |\n| 5 | Recheck on the application date | Check whether the available supply type and unit type appear on the application screen |\n\n### Criteria for Distinguishing Preliminary Information from Confirmed Announcements\n\n- A developer’s presale plan, media reports, and schedule summaries are **preliminary information**.\n- Once a housing recruitment announcement is posted on 청약Home or by the relevant public housing provider, it may be considered **announced information**.\n- If an amended announcement is issued, the amended information takes precedence over the initial announcement.\n- Even if the application date is approaching, do not finalize an application plan based on an estimated date if no recruitment announcement can be found.\n\nTo avoid missing Seoul complexes, separately record the dates for special supply, first-priority applications for the relevant area, first-priority applications for other areas, and second-priority applications from August 18 through the end of the month. Special supply and general supply application dates may differ even for the same complex.\n\n## Table for Comparing Eligibility by Complex\n\nCompleting one row per complex in the table below makes it easier to identify differences among announcements that may appear similar.\n\n| Comparison item | Information to record |\n|---|---|\n| Complex name and supplying institution | Official name and implementing or supplying entity stated in the announcement |\n| Announcement date | Reference date for determining no-homeownership status, household composition, period of residence, and other criteria |\n| Supply category | Private housing, national housing, public sale housing, remaining units, etc. |\n| Regional priority | Whether priority is given to the relevant Seoul area and the scope of other eligible areas |\n| Housing subscription savings account | Account type, subscription period, deposit, or recognized payment criteria |\n| General supply selection | Whether the points-based system or lottery system applies and the applicable proportions |\n| Special supply | Applicable category, such as institutional recommendation, multiple children, newlyweds, first-time homebuyers, or support for elderly parents |\n| Restrictions | Restrictions on re-winning, resale restrictions, mandatory residence, and restrictions on duplicate applications |\n| Contract schedule | Winner announcement, document submission, and contract signing dates |\n| Expected occupancy | Expected period when the balance and moving funds will be required |\n\nEven if complexes in Seoul and Gyeonggi are supplied during the same period, do not assume that regional residence priorities and housing subscription savings account deposit requirements are the same. When a Seoul resident applies for a Gyeonggi complex or a Gyeonggi resident applies for a Seoul complex, separately check whether applications from other areas are permitted and the order of priority supply.\n\n## How to Check Special and General Supply Quantities\n\nAssessing the likelihood of competition based only on the total number of units in the recruitment announcement can lead to errors. The number of units actually available to an applicant must be checked at the **intersection of the supply category and unit type**.\n\nFor example, even with the same exclusive-use area, 59A and 59B may be different unit types. Check them in the following order.\n\n1. Separate the total number of supplied units into general supply and special supply.\n2. For special supply, check the number of units allocated to each detailed category, such as newlyweds, first-time homebuyers, and families with multiple children.\n3. Retain only the categories for which you are eligible to apply.\n4. Within that category, check the number of units by unit type, such as 59A, 59B, and 84A.\n5. Review the priority supply and remaining supply methods and the criteria for selecting reserve occupants.\n\nWhether undersubscribed units in one category are transferred to another category or to general supply must be determined according to the announcement and applicable regulations. They must not be combined arbitrarily.\n\n## Funding Schedule to Calculate Before the Sale Price\n\nWinning a housing subscription is only the beginning of paying the contract deposit. The proportions and dates for the contract deposit, interim payments, and balance vary by complex, so do not apply customary proportions without verification.\n\n| Timing | Costs to check | Key risks |\n|---|---|---|\n| Contract | Contract deposit, stamp-related costs | Cash may be required within a short period |\n| Construction period | Interim payments, interest on interim payment loans | Loan arrangements do not guarantee approval or limits |\n| Before and after occupancy | Balance, acquisition-related taxes, registration costs | Sale of an existing home or recovery of a lease deposit may be delayed |\n| Optional contracts | Balcony expansion, paid options | Separate from the sale price and may be excluded from loan eligibility |\n| Holding period | Maintenance fees, loan principal and interest | The burden may increase due to changes in interest rates and income |\n\nIt is advisable to include at least the following three scenarios in the funding plan.\n\n- If only part of the planned interim payment loan is available\n- If the mortgage loan limit at the time of occupancy is lower than expected\n- If proceeds from the sale of an existing home or the return of a lease deposit are delayed\n\nThe amount available for borrowing may vary depending on regulations, income, existing debt, collateral value, and other factors at the actual loan review date rather than the housing subscription application date. Do not treat an estimated limit provided during a sales consultation as confirmed funding.\n\n## Steps to Apply, Check, and Cancel on 청약Home\n\n1. **Select the announcement:** Check the complex name and announcement number on 청약Home and download the housing recruitment announcement.\n2. **Select the supply type:** Choose the menu matching your eligibility from special supply, first-priority general supply, or second-priority general supply.\n3. **Select the unit type:** Do not look only at the area; check the exact unit type shown in the announcement, such as 59A or 59B, and the number of units available.\n4. **Enter eligibility information:** Answer the on-screen questions truthfully regarding your residence, no-homeownership period, dependents, housing subscription savings account, and other matters.\n5. **Electronically sign and submit:** Review the application information one final time and complete identity verification or the electronic signature.\n6. **Save the application details:** Check the application completion screen and application history, and separately record that the application was submitted.\n7. **Correct errors:** If information was entered incorrectly, cancel the existing application before the application deadline shown in the announcement and reapply from the beginning. Simply canceling does not complete the correction.\n\nAfter the application deadline, the submitted information generally cannot be changed at will. Check the 청약Home instructions for the relevant application date regarding the cancellation window and whether reapplication is permitted.\n\n## Proof of Submission and Recovery Plan to Prevent Deadline Problems\n\nA step often omitted from schedule summaries is how to prove that an application was completed and respond to errors. Keeping the following records can reduce confusion about whether an application was submitted.\n\n- Original announcement and amended announcement files\n- A checklist recording the complex, supply type, unit type, and application date\n- The application completion screen, within a scope that does not excessively expose personal information\n- Application status checked in the 청약Home application history\n- If canceled, confirmation of cancellation and a record of completed reapplication\n- Calendar reminders for the winner announcement date, document submission date, and contract date\n\nIt is advisable not to postpone the application until immediately before the deadline in case of access problems. However, even if you applied early, check again whether an amended announcement affects your application.\n\n## What to Do After the Winner Announcement\n\nIf you are confirmed as a winner or reserve occupant, submit documents according to the supplying institution’s instructions. At this stage, the information entered at the time of application is verified against official documents.\n\n- Check winner or reserve occupant status and sequence number\n- Check the document submission period and submission method\n- Prepare required documents concerning resident registration, family relationships, marriage and birth, income and assets, and other matters\n- If asked to explain a potential disqualification, check the specified response period\n- Check the transfer limit for the contract deposit and the materials required on the contract date\n- Recheck post-selection obligations, including resale restrictions, mandatory residence, and restrictions on re-winning\n\nBefore applying, applicants should also consider the possibility of withdrawing from the contract. Even if a winner does not sign the contract, this may affect the winning history or future housing subscription restrictions, so check the announcement’s rules on disqualification, failure to contract, and winner management.","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eIf you are preparing to apply for a Seoul apartment in August 2026, first check the \u003cstrong\u003ehousing recruitment announcement posted on 청약Home\u003c/strong\u003e.

Dates shown in planned sale schedules or search results may be revised, so check the special supply, first-priority, and second-priority schedules in the announcement together with the application screen."},{"question":"Can I apply as a first-priority applicant for an apartment in Seoul even if I do not live in Seoul?","answer":"It may be possible if the complex's announcement permits applications from other regions, but priority may be given to Seoul residents. You should check the eligible application regions, order of priority supply, and required period of residence in the resident recruitment announcement for each complex."},{"question":"Can I apply for both special supply and general supply?","answer":"Whether you can apply for both special supply and general supply in the same complex is subject to the duplicate application rules in the relevant announcement. You should also check how multiple successful applications are handled and the restrictions on multiple applications within a household."},{"question":"Do I become a first-priority applicant simply by meeting the housing subscription savings account membership period requirement?","answer":"No. Depending on the type of housing and the region, requirements such as the deposit amount, number of payments, household head or non-homeowner status, and previous winning history may apply in addition to the membership period. You should check all first-priority eligibility criteria in the announcement."},{"question":"Can I correct information entered incorrectly in my subscription application?","answer":"While applying, you may return to a previous step to review the information, but directly editing it after submission may be restricted. Before the application deadline, cancel the existing application on CheongyakHome, reapply with the correct information, and confirm that the new application has been completed."},{"question":"If I cancel my subscription application, can I use my housing subscription savings account again immediately?","answer":"If the application is properly canceled before the deadline and you are not selected as a winner, you may be able to apply again on the same application date. However, you must follow the instructions on the relevant application screen regarding cancellation times and reapplication rules."},{"question":"Can I sign the contract and move in as long as I have enough money for the sale price?","answer":"In addition to the sale price, costs may arise for balcony expansion and paid options, interest on interim-payment loans, acquisition-related taxes, registration fees, and maintenance fees after move-in. You should prepare a funding plan that reflects the payment dates for the down payment, interim payments, and final payment, as well as the possibility of receiving a smaller loan."},{"question":"If it says an interim-payment loan is available, is the loan guaranteed?","answer":"No. A loan arranged by the developer or estimated terms do not guarantee final approval for an individual applicant. The actual limit and interest rate may vary depending on regulations in effect at the time of loan screening, income, existing debt, credit, and collateral conditions."},{"question":"Are Type A and Type B with the same exclusive-use area considered one housing type?","answer":"They may generally be offered as separate housing types because their floor plans, orientations, or other features differ. Since it may be difficult to change the housing type at your discretion after applying, you should review the number of units supplied and the floor plans for each type in the recruitment announcement before making your selection."},{"question":"What happens if the documents submitted after winning a housing subscription differ from the application details?","answer":"If the supplying agency's verification finds that you cannot prove your eligibility, you may be disqualified, which could affect future housing subscription applications.
