Hot properties to rent and buy in Hong Kong, August-September 2015

17 March, 2017 by Letizia Casalino, Hong Kong Sotheby’s International Realty 3 Min Read

Are prices softening? Are owners more flexible? Yes and no, but unfortunately it’s more of a no. Although the media continues to tease us all with the suggestion of a downward price shift, the lack of available stock currently on the market remains a reality and is consistently outweighed by demand in the hot spots of Hong Kong.

As a result, prices are inflated by 5 to 10 percent in the mass rental market. The luxury tier is where negotiation is slightly more flexible, however, even there the lack of premium stock encourages owners of rare and exclusive properties to maintain their luxury prices. The peak season has come to an end and so the diamonds are harder and harder to find.

The first-hand property market is still the talk of the town, with new developments popping up in great quantities on the Kowloon peninsula. Compared to the same period last year, however, the number of sales figures have decreased.

The secondary market has seen a few strong weeks as investors from Hong Kong and abroad have taken the end-of-season opportunity to purchase a home or investment property. Now that the effects of the cooling measures are well understood throughout the market, the momentum of investing is back on track.
