BONNIE CHAN, Associate Director Colliers International Hong Kong, gives us the lowdown on the Hong Kong property market and shares details of five fantastic homes for sale and lease.
Market Update
Despite market uncertainties, residential rents remained positive during the second quarter, supported by solid leasing demand and limited supply. Traditional districts such as South Side, Mid-Levels and Pok Fu Lam continue to be popular for families, whereas areas like Sai Ying Pun, Kennedy Town and Sheung Wan are more favourable for smaller-sized families or young professionals.
It’s worth noting, too, that we are seeing more corporate owners offering a furniture package when leasing an apartment. This gives an option for tenants to easily move straight in with just their suitcase, which adds plenty of convenience.
