Calculate housing equity losses separately from the cash runway

This is hypothetical, not an actual property or loan. A KRW600 million home bought with KRW200 million of equity and KRW400 million of debt falls 20% to KRW480 million. If principal is unchanged, equity before costs becomes KRW80 million, a 60% decline. That valuation loss is not itself the monthly cash shortfall. In a simplified interest-only calculation, annual interest of 4% on KRW400 million is about KRW1.33 million monthly, rising to KRW2 million at 6%. If income stops and the actual monthly gap including living costs and debt service is KRW3 million, immediately accessible cash of KRW18 million lasts 6 months. A later sale or additional repair and moving costs can create a funding gap regardless of possible price recovery.

Check for yourself

1. What equity remains after outstanding debt and selling costs?
2. What is the monthly gap including principal, living costs and other loans?
3. Does the plan cover receipt of sale proceeds after cash runs out?

Limits of application

Prices, debt, rates and cash are assumptions, not product recommendations or eligibility determinations. Equity calculations exclude taxes, agent fees and repairs; interest-only calculations differ from amortizing payments. The runway excludes deposit interest, unemployment benefits, asset sales and unexpected costs, and gives no house-price forecast or optimal purchase date.
