South Korea's homes

South Korea's home transactions jumped significantly from a year earlier last month, the government said Thursday, apparently on the latest government measures to revitalize the property market.
In October, the total number of home transactions surged 20.4 percent on-year to 108,721, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. The figure is the second-highest for October since 2006 when the country began compiling such data.
