Is there a way to easily transfer ownership of a HomeKit home? State of the art home utilizing HomeKit has been sold and would like to assign new ownership without having to reset and reprogram everything. Is there a way to assign the home to a new Apple ID?
No. They will need to set it up with their own Apple ID. Then set it up how they want it to be. The new owners might not even want to use Homekit or prefer Alexa or Google Home and also will need to assign it to their own wifi and install the associated Apps on their devices etc. Giving them the codes and serial numbers might help them out.

Yes, I saw that Reddit post but it was from a year ago and I was hoping that Apple had come up with a solution since then. The interoperability and privacy afforded by the HomeKit home was a huge selling point for this home. The new owners are not at all interested in Google or Alexa as a result.
Ok then they likely were interested in knowing the devices were HomeKit compatible, as some aren’t.
i really don’t know about transferring ownership, since it goes by Apple ID logins, those are never shared.
And assuming they’re would be using their own Hubs, this all has to be set up in their Apple Devices.
