The robust performance raised expectations that overall transactions nationwide could surpass 300,000 units for the whole of last year, brokers said. Jhongli (中壢), Lujhu (蘆竹) and Taoyuan (桃園) districts reported the most transfers, as builders completed the construction of presale projects, Hsieh said. Taoyuan become more attractive due to infrastructure improvement projects and relatively affordable housing prices, Taiwan Realty Co (台灣房屋) said. Housing deals rose 25.4 percent to 5,754 in New Taipei City as developers turned over ownership of more than 100 units in Banciao (板橋) and Sindian (新店) to buyers, Taiwan Realty said. For the whole of last year, transactions totaled 232,031 units in the six municipalities, a 24.4 percent increase from 2018.
