Real estate in Hong Kong: Hot property listings and market update

6 November, 2018 by Expat Living 2 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/real-estate-in-hong-kong-hot-property-listings-and-market-update-2/

It was a quiet end to 2015 in Hong Kong, with a relatively stable rental and slow secondary market. However, in the absence of oversupply of lucrative properties, the prospects of a huge decline in both residential rentals and sales are limited.

Moving into 2016, we will continue to see a steady and stable residential rental market, with the exception of some areas – for example, in Kowloon and New Territories where a rental decline is possible.

Local moves account for more rentals than new arrivals into Hong Kong. Budgets of HK$50,000 to $80,000 per month continue to be active and tenants are more likely to be individuals rather than corporate.

The government’s property cooling measures, a potential US interest-rate increase, and more housing supply in the pipeline are the key factors that have prompted potential buyers to adopt a wait-and-see approach, resulting in subdued sales transactions in Q4 of 2015. Analysts expect sales volumes will pick up in Q2 of 2016 as more flat owners will be willing to reduce prices in light of slow market performance.

A number of buyers have also shifted to the primary market, where property developers continue to attract buyers by offering competitive prices and preferential incentive packages. The demand for ultra-luxury residential real estate still remains strong, and foreign interest is not limited to mainlanders.

Q2 of 2016 will see the tide change to a buyer’s market and one just has to be in the right place at the right time in order to seize the opportunity.
