I remember chatting with a few friends from Taiwan before, and they really love buying houses; the first thing they do when making money is to buy a house and then rent it out. I recall someone mentioning that the return in Taipei is around 3% (sorry, my memory isn’t very clear), and I joked with them that it’s not even higher than the interest on USDT stored in an exchange.

Moreover, I also asked about it; the housing prices in Taiwan have almost been rising for the past 10 years, with only slight adjustments in 2025 and 2026, while Taichung, Hsinchu, and Taoyuan have seen the fastest increases. Although the increase in Taipei’s housing prices isn't very high, there has still been an increase of over 40%.

If we consider Taipei to be like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, or Tokyo and Seoul, the current housing prices in Taipei are already quite high. The average price in Taipei is around 7,800 US dollars per square meter, which is slightly cheaper compared to Seoul. However, compared to Tokyo, even though the core area of Tokyo is more expensive, the overall housing prices in Tokyo are over 20% cheaper than in Taipei.

The same goes for Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou; aside from the core areas which are higher, the average price citywide is also lower than Taipei's average price.

I casually found an ad online; a new property of about 165 square meters (1 ping = 3.3 square meters) costs 1.5 million US dollars, approximately 10 million Chinese yuan.

Although I haven't invested in real estate in Taipei, many friends I asked feel that housing prices there are a bit too expensive. Personally, I think buying a house in Taipei now doesn’t seem cost-effective. Of course, if Taipei can connect with mainland China for residence and living, then it’s not impossible for housing prices to continue rising.

According to Taiwanese media citing statistics from the Ministry of the Interior, in 2023, there were only 16 cases of mainland citizens purchasing real estate in Taiwan, with a total value of about 230 million New Taiwan dollars, reaching a new low since 2012. Since the amendment of the relevant regulations in 2002, there have been a total of 715 cases of mainland capital obtaining real estate, with a rights value of around 15.54 billion New Taiwan dollars.
