Problem

A 57-year-old couple whose two children have moved out is considering downsizing from a 112㎡ (34-pyeong) apartment to a 79㎡ (24-pyeong) unit, but they can't determine the actual surplus funds after accounting for capital gains tax, acquisition tax, moving costs, and interior renovation expenses. A Real Estate agent only recommends selling, a Tax Accounting advisor only answers tax questions, and an interior company only provides quotes. Consulting all three separately costs 500,000-800,000 won (~$375-600) and 2-3 weeks, and the homeowner must integrate the results themselves.

Solution

Users input their current and target housing details (size, area, estimated sale/purchase price), and the service provides in a single view: (1) an integrated simulation of capital gains tax, acquisition tax, brokerage fees, and moving costs, (2) projected surplus funds with deployment scenarios (deposits/funds/Pension conversion), and (3) a livability comparison of nearby amenities (hospitals, supermarkets, parks, cultural facilities) for the new location.

Target: Couples aged 55-62, children fully independent, owning 100㎡+ apartments, considering housing downsizing, with one or fewer previous property sale experiences
Revenue Model: Basic tax and cost simulation free. Customized downsizing Report (including tax optimization scenarios) PDF at 9,900 won (~$7.40) Per Transaction. Execution checklist (sell → buy → move timeline) at 3,900 won (~$2.90).
