This work studies Korean housing market's nonlinear dynamic characteristics and nonlinear relationship between 10 metro-region by employing STAR (Smooth Transition Autoregressive) model. And then it gives policy implications on housing market. According our empirical results, almost all metro regions show nonlinearity. Particularly the nonlinear estimation shows both whole Seoul metro region and south Seoul metro region Granger cause other regions' housing prices. It gives an evidence that Seoul metro region's housing market leads other regions' markets.
