  • The lowest-priced pre-sale housing units in the Greater Taipei area for 2024-2026 are located on the 2nd or 3rd floor.
  • These units typically feature small layouts or studio apartments and are situated in non-core areas.
  • While some developers are adjusting prices, the market for low-cost, small units remains stable, supported by investors.

For aspiring homeowners in the Greater Taipei area, a closer look at the pre-sale market reveals a consistent trend: the most affordable units are found not on the top floors with the best views, but closer to the ground. Our analysis of pre-sale data from 2024 to 2026 indicates that the lowest-priced properties are predominantly located on the second or third floors. This pattern holds true across Taipei City and New Taipei City, with minor variations in floor level for specific years. These budget-friendly options are typically characterized by their compact size, often falling into the category of studio apartments, and are situated in areas outside the traditional city centers. Despite ongoing discussions about price adjustments by developers, the demand for these smaller, more accessible units remains robust. This stability is largely attributed to a strong investor base seeking entry-level properties. While the dream of owning a spacious apartment in a prime location might be out of reach for many, these lower-floor, smaller units offer a viable pathway into the property market, demonstrating the market's adaptability to different buyer needs and financial capacities.

Low-rise floors are mostly the floor price for most new projects.
