Taiwanese real estate markets, particularly in Yilan, Tainan, and New Taipei City, have shown growth and record-breaking price milestones driven by infrastructure and industrial expansion. In Yilan, the anticipated completion of high-speed rail is expected to foster a ‘railway economy’ by reducing commuting times to Taipei. In Tainan, the Southern Taiwan Science Park is driving economic momentum and residential demand. By the first half of 2026, luxury projects in New Taipei City and Tainan reached record prices, with New Taipei City’s pre-sale market shifting toward higher price brackets. Notably, the Han Huang Fang Yuan project in Zhonghe reached 1.265 million TWD per ping, while Tainan’s Guocheng Baoshi penthouse sold for 689,000 TWD per ping.
