(Central News Agency Reporter Lu Yan-tzu, Taipei, April 17) Taiwan Asset Management is continuing its launch of 100 affordable housing units this year, for the first time including 'marriage and childbearing housing' within the offerings. The overall sales rate reached 61%. Chairman Kung Wen-ping of Taiwan Asset Management pointed out that this indicates the presence of rigid purchasing demand even amidst a frozen housing market.
Taiwan Asset Management is offering 100 affordable housing units this year, with 81% located in the six major metropolitan areas. As 46 units attracted applications from two or more individuals, a public lottery was held today at the Taipei headquarters. Kung Wen-ping stated that this year's first round of marriage and childbearing housing achieved a 50% sales rate, with all 4 units in Taipei being sold out. It attracted many newlyweds within two years of marriage and citizens with children under six.
Kung Wen-ping mentioned that this year's most sought-after properties were the 4 co-built units near the MRT stations in Sanchong District, New Taipei City, which were all sold out. One unit received as many as 53 applications.
Compared to the 86% sales rate in 2025, Kung Wen-ping observed that the housing market atmosphere this year is very different. Despite the market freeze, 2,467 groups, comprising 4,979 individuals, visited the properties within 28 days. Of these, 573 registered to purchase 61 affordable housing units, ultimately achieving a sales rate of 61%. This reflects that rigid purchasing demand still exists. As long as properties meet residential needs and are reasonably priced, citizens with demand will still choose to purchase.
Kung Wen-ping added that to alleviate the financial pressure on citizens, they are offering a payment plan where 20% of the purchase price can be deferred for 5 years (60 installments). They have also expanded invitations to 5 banks and 1 farmers' association, including Bank of Taiwan, Hua Nan Bank, Chang Hwa Bank, Taiwan Business Bank, Federal Bank, and Beitou District Farmers' Association, to provide specialized financing services to assist buyers in obtaining loans.
Taiwan Asset Management announced that the lists of successful buyers, standby applicants, and lottery winners will be posted on the company's website on April 20th and notification letters will be mailed. Those who did not win the lottery will have their NT$30,000 deposit refunded interest-free within 30 days. All successful bidders must pay 10% of the sale price and sign the contract by May 4th. Failure to comply within the deadline will result in Taiwan Asset Management notifying standby applicants. (Editor: Yang Lan-hsuan) 0417115
