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

17 March, 2017 by Letizia Casalino, Hong Kong Sotheby's International Realty 2 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/real-estate-in-hong-kong-hot-property-listings-and-market-update-3/

While Mainland China’s property market is suffering from an oversupply of property stock, Hong Kong continues to launch new developments in the primary market across many districts. These developments are fetching billions of Hong Kong dollars in just a matter of days as developers offer low-price strategies in order to offload the stock.

The volume of sales has declined in the secondary market as investors have preferred the primary market, not only due to the lower prices, but to take advantage of being able to purchase such modern apartments. This is true for both Hong Kong properties and internationally with investments in Europe or the US.

Europe has become more attractive to Hong Kong investors wanting to buy property, with the Euro losing more than 20 percent against the US dollar. The same has been seen in the hospitality industry where Asian investors have shown great interest in buying hotels across Europe.

In the leasing sector, the Western and Eastern districts of Hong Kong, as well as Mid-levels, have seen new buildings become available and “older” buildings being revamped, which promises good stock for this summer’s peak season. A few gems are seeing the light as well, offering a good mix of product for anyone who is either new in town or wishes to move from their current place. The summer season can be quite hectic, therefore any new product will attract new tenants in no time.

In the mood for a sweet treat? These chewy salted caramel and chocolate cookies are delicious with a cuppa or warmed and crumbled over ice cream.

This recipe makes about 25 cookies.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened (or as an alternative, substitute half of the butter with natural peanut butter)
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plain flour
6 tablespoons cocoa or cacao
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt flakes
1 cup chocolate chips
1 Mars Bar, chopped

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla, then beat well.
4. Combine flour, cocoa (or cacao), baking soda and half of the salt; gradually blend into the creamed mixture.  5.Stir in the chocolate chips and Mars Bar pieces.
6. Drop tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture onto a lined cookie sheet.
7. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. Tip: do not over-bake! The cookies should be soft, they’ll puff up while baking and flatten while cooling.
8. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet onto wire rack.
9. Sprinkle with remaining sea salt flakes.
Enjoy!
