Top properties for rent in Hong Kong

2 December, 2020 by Expat Living 3 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/properties-for-rent-in-hong-kong-knight-frank/

Leading independent real estate consultancy Knight Frank shares some insights on the current property market, plus details of five top properties available for rent in Hong Kong.

Positive Sentiment

Homebuyer sentiment in the residential market remained positive in recent months given the stable epidemic situation in Hong Kong. Despite COVID-19 and the worsening economy, there has been robust demand in the primary market.

According to the latest figures from Land Registry, almost 5,000 residential transactions were recorded in October. Primary sales accounted for over 1,000 of these – a surge of by 29 percent, month on month.

One of the new projects to catch the market’s attention is Central Peak at Stubbs Road, the super luxury development by Sun Hung Kai Properties. It has just sold out two units in its initial batch, with unit prices reaching HK$78,000 to $83,000 per square foot.

Comparatively, there is more uncertainty for the secondary market amid recent mixed sentiment – some owners have sold their properties at a loss.

The deteriorating labour market has taken its toll on the leasing market. In some areas – Tung Chung and Discovery Bay, for example – landlords have had to cut asking rents to compete for new tenants. Meanwhile, some buyers have seized the opportunity of the downturn to purchase properties. Serviced apartments are offering deeper discounts, too, as they face competition from hotels offering long-stay packages and other attractive offers.

Looking ahead, the primary sales market is expected to remain active with a few new projects scheduled for launch before the end of 2020. Developers may provide more incentives and discounts to speed up sales. With more units available for sale and protracted negative market factors, we expect housing prices to drop by three to five percent for the mass market and by five percent for the luxury market for the full year 2020.
