AB - This study investigates spatial differentiation in Seoul’s housing sub-markets by determining whether district‐level “decoupling” reflects speculative trading or fundamental differences in residents’ housing preferences. Drawing on the 2022 Seoul Housing Survey, we compare the entire city with four decoupled clusters—Geumgwangu (Geumcheon; Gwanak; Guro), Nodogang (Nowon; Dobong; Gangbuk), Mayongseong (Mapo; Yongsan; Seongdong), and Gangnam3gu (Gangnam; Seocho; Songpa). Using ordered logistic regression and bootstrap‐mediated path analysis, we assess the relative impact of five urban amenity dissatisfaction dimensions (transit; retail; culture; green space; education) versus housing‐condition dissatisfaction on residents’ willingness to move. Citywide, dissatisfaction with education and green‐space amenities significantly increased moving intentions. In Geumgwangu and Nodogang, only housing‐condition dissatisfaction was predictive; in Mayongseong, cultural and educational amenities were key; and in Gangnam3gu, only overall housing‐environment dissatisfaction mattered. These findings underscore the necessity of sub-market‐tailored housing policies that address distinct resident priorities.
