What Is a Never-Occupied Property?
A never-occupied property is a unit that has never been lived in since it was first sold as a new condominium. This includes units that remained unsold at the time of the initial sale, as well as units purchased for investment and never used. While the fixtures and interior are essentially brand new, these homes are sold on the resale market, so they are often priced lower than at the time of new sale, making them a great way to secure a brand-new unit at a better value.
Benefits of a Never-Occupied Property
The biggest advantage is that you can buy a unit in brand-new condition at a resale price. Because the kitchen, bathroom, flooring, and fittings have never been used, you can move in as-is without any renovation. For those who missed out in a lottery for a new condominium, finding a never-occupied unit in the same building is also a valuable opportunity.
Points to Keep in Mind
If more than two years have passed since completion, the property can no longer be labeled as “new,” which may change the eligibility conditions for the housing loan tax deduction. Also, if the seller is an individual, consumption tax is exempt, and the property may not qualify for the housing grant, so it is important to confirm the tax treatment.

FAQ
Why are never-occupied properties put up for sale?
The main reasons include unsold units from the initial new-home sale, a change in plans after purchasing for investment, or cases where the owner needs to sell before moving in due to a transfer or relocation. There is nothing inherently wrong with the property itself.
How do prices for never-occupied properties compare with new-home prices?
In general, they are often listed at about 3% to 10% below the original new-home sale price. However, in the case of popular properties or units with especially desirable positions, they may even be listed above the original new-home price.
Can I still receive the housing loan tax deduction if the property has never been occupied?
If it is within two years of completion, you can receive the housing loan tax deduction under the same conditions as a new property. If more than two years have passed, the conditions for used homes apply, but it may still qualify if it meets requirements such as being within 25 years of age.
