In particular, there are many papers on the importance of reputation, self-esteem, and emotional attachment in qualitative research. Af ter controlling for all other factors, the price difference resulting from the effect of the brand alone was effectively identified and analyzed to prove the effect of pure brand value alone.

As for location factors, specific results were not obtained as the analysis results showed that apartment complexes could not be identified due to mountainous areas and rivers.
<br>Implications: Consumers’ valuation will ultimately result in differences in apartment prices by brand. Unlike previous studies, this study used the actual transaction prices of apartments in Seoul announced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport over the past 10 years to analyze the brand premium in monetary units and track changes over time. It was confirmed that the price contribution of apartment brands increased over time, and that ranking competition between brands was actively taking place.
