A multi-home owner has decided to sell their property and gift their children a villa in a redevelopment zone, a decision spurred by the government's recent tax reform announcement on August 3.

The homeowner expressed their resolve to sell their current property while it's still possible, intending to purchase and gift a redevelopment villa to their children. This move is strategically aimed at avoiding potentially higher capital gains taxes that may arise from holding onto their existing property.

This personal account, shared within a real estate community, reflects a broader concern among multi-home owners. They are contemplating divesting assets to their children to preemptively manage the impact of impending tax changes, particularly the increase in capital gains tax.
