Property news: what’s on the market

7 March, 2020 by Expat Living 3 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/properties-for-rent-and-sale-hong-kong-housing-expats-colliers/

LETIZIA GARCIA CASALINO, Head of Residential Services 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

“What a Year of the Rat we have entered! The residential market is the most resilient of Hong Kong’s property sectors, and it has started to show some great opportunities with the relaxing measures put in place last October – those measures allow first-time home buyers to borrow up to 90 percent of a property valued at a maximum of HK$8 million (previously $4 million). A new building that can combine both location and price has been and will be very appealing in many ways. Although the streets in Hong Kong have been quiet, buyers are still interested in entering the first-hand market. The secondary market is a different story. There have been weeks where transaction records are at their lowest in years. With this thought, it’s also where the opportunities lie for anyone looking at buying a property in the second-hand market. Great gems can be found!

On the other hand, the leasing market is still active, though of course not as active as in previous years. Local moves have been the most active over the past months, and mass market rents have slightly dropped. However, it’s the luxury market where we see most of the correction. With less demand for domestic moves and fewer newcomers, it’s most certainly where great properties can be snatched. If anyone is looking into moving to a different property within the luxury market or at the top of the mass market, now is definitely the time.”
