China News Service, Taipei, March 2 According to the latest statistics from the internal affairs department of the Taiwan authorities, the consumer price and rent index for the whole Taiwan in January 2021 is 104.09.
The data has not fallen back for 119 consecutive months since March 2011.
Comprehensive Central News Agency and ETtoday News Cloud reported that in March 2011, the Taiwanese rent index was 96.22, and it continued to rise since then. It has not fallen back in the past 10 years, with an increase of 8.18%.
Real estate industry owner Lang Meinan said that hot money will continue to pour into the housing market in 2020, which will drive the real estate industry's transaction prices to rise, and also drive the increase in rent prices.
For renters who could not afford to buy a house, there is still a big market for house leasing because the threshold for buying a house is raised again.
The chances of rents falling in the short term are not high.
Others pointed out that since many landlords will not register for tax returns, the actual rent may be higher than the data shows.
In addition to the housing rental market, the 2020 Taiwan housing market is also very active.
Due to factors such as low interest rates and hot money, buyers continue to flow into the housing market.
Despite repeated increases in house prices across Taiwan, the volume of housing transactions continues to increase.
According to statistics, in 2020, the volume of house sales and transfers across Taiwan will increase by 7.8% annually.
According to the "Economic Daily" report, in 2020, the total monthly salary of employees in Taiwan's real estate industry reached 54,100 NT dollars, a year-on-year increase of 7% and an increase of 26% from 2016.
