Tainan City's real estate market experienced a period of consolidation in the second quarter of 2026, with Yongkang District emerging as the leader in housing transactions. The district recorded 944 building transfers, a significant increase of 57.33% from the previous quarter.
This surge in Yongkang was primarily fueled by a wave of new home completions, with newly constructed properties accounting for 54.34% of the district's transactions. This indicates a strong handover of new residential units, significantly boosting the overall transaction volume for the quarter.
Across the city, land sale transactions saw a slight increase of 4.02% compared to the previous quarter, though they decreased by 6.54% year-on-year. Building transfers totaled 4,835 units, a 2.20% decrease from the previous quarter and a 14.35% drop year-on-year. However, the handover of newly completed buildings, representing 38.72% of all building transfers, continues to be a key support for market activity.
Mayor Huang Wei-che highlighted Tainan's ongoing development, citing the expansion of the Southern Taiwan Science Park and initiatives like the Yongkang Creative Design Park and Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City. These developments, along with population growth, are expected to sustain the long-term momentum of the housing market, despite recent impacts from credit controls and financial policies.
Tainan has benefited in recent years from the continuous development of the Southern Taiwan Science Park industry cluster and actively promoted major construction projects such as the Yongkang Creative Design Park and Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City, continuously enhancing the city's competitiveness and quality of life, which also drives the long-term development momentum of the housing market.
