What does an improved Hong Kong property outlook mean for land sales? (SCMP)
|
|
|
The competition could intensify at tenders for Hong Kong's residential plots as developers replenish their land banks amid a recovering property market, with the tug of war testing their financial discipline as they bid for parcels at a “noticeable premium”, according to S&P Global Ratings, though some analysts believe that the return of confidence is warranted given robust demand for housing units.

New home sales have really gone nowhere in three years.

That is the biggest gap between median and average prices on record...
Implying a relatively small number of large/high value sales (outliers or a long right tail) are dragging the mean upward, while most of the sales cluster on the lower side as the supply of new homes also plunged.
Mortgage rates are higher in the last month but had fallen notably during the reporting period for today's data...
