Finance · Real Estate Development · cnyes · 2026-08-27
Taoyuan City reports a significant decline in residential vacancy rates for the second half of 2025, driven by robust employment demand and new infrastructure projects.
What Happened
Declining Vacancy Rates: Taoyuan City experienced a broad decline in residential vacancy rates across all 13 administrative districts in the second half of 2025. Total vacant units dropped by approximately 12.6%, falling from over 93,000 to roughly 82,000 units, signaling a tightening housing market.
Luzhu District's Resilience: Luzhu District recorded the lowest vacancy rate in the city at 5.92%, supported by a steady influx of workers from the Nankan Industrial Park and the airport logistics sector. The area's relative affordability compared to neighboring Linkou has further bolstered demand from first-time homebuyers.
Growth in Pingzhen and Taoyuan Districts: Pingzhen benefits from employment opportunities in nearby science parks, with buyers increasingly turning to中古 (pre-owned) homes due to price sensitivity. Meanwhile, Taoyuan District is seeing strong interest in mature neighborhoods as buyers anticipate the completion of the Green Line MRT, despite an increase in new housing supply in development zones.
Expert Market Advice: Analysts caution that while lower vacancy rates indicate healthy residential demand, they do not guarantee rising property prices. Prospective buyers are advised to conduct thorough due diligence on regional infrastructure progress and personal financial capacity rather than relying solely on vacancy statistics.
