Apartment lease prices in Seoul dipped by the largest margin in five years and eight months this week, according to statistics released Thursday.

The figure is the largest since a 0.09 percent dip in the third week of July in 2012.

The drop in lease prices stems from the surging supply of new apartments in satellite cities surrounding Seoul, reports say.
