Taoyuan housing market hits price ceiling; developers launch new projects against the trend

Taoyuan's real estate market is experiencing a "price ceiling," making it difficult to set new record highs even in prime locations, according to Liberty Times. While the overall market outlook remains uncertain, developers are pushing forward with new projects, aiming to capture various buyer segments.

The Taoyuan district is largely driven by local buyers, with recent inquiries favoring older urban areas over newly developed zones. The area along the Zhongzheng Road, near the MRT and extending to the Yiwu Art District, is currently attracting the most attention. In the re-planning zones, the Taoyuan section, which saw new developments last year, is also generating some interest.

New projects are catering to first-time homebuyers with more affordable pricing and easier payment plans, including developments like "Xinrun Aman Manor," "Jingcheng Daying," and "Jiasheng Fenghe." Other projects are highlighting their convenient locations near the MRT and established urban amenities, with smaller unit sizes performing well, such as "Hezhong MRT" and "Wanyu Shencang."

For those looking to upgrade, projects like "Yue GARDEN" and "Guotai GRAND PARK" are seeing steady sales. These often feature larger units, with "Yue GARDEN" offering 70-80 ping units and "Guotai GRAND PARK" achieving prices in the high 60,000s per ping, positioning them as mid-to-high-end options in their respective categories. Major developers like Zhaoyang, Dingtai, Zhongyue, Youjie, and Daxin are expected to launch new projects soon across areas including the Zhongzheng Art District, Zhonglu re-planning zone, Jingguo re-planning zone, and Dayou area.
