Hong Kong property recovery faces new risk as China widens offshore tax net (SCMP)
|
|
|
Hong Kong's property recovery could face a fresh test if China's expanding crackdown on offshore wealth extends beyond insurance returns to property income, potentially curbing mainland demand for homes and adding pressure to decentralised office markets, according to analysts.
The immediate issue is a reported 20 per cent personal income tax on certain returns earned by mainland residents from offshore assets, including gains from Hong Kong insurance policies.

Chinese families turn to cash and cautious stock bets as real estate avenues narrow (SCMP)
|
|
|
Chinese families are fast retreating from real estate, with many holding large cash reserves now cautiously weighing stock investments, marking a stark contrast with South Korea, where retail investors are aggressively using leverage to fuel equity bets at home and abroad.
Property's share of household assets dropped to 52 per cent in the first quarter of 2026 from 67 per cent in mid-2021, while cash and bank deposits rose to 25 per cent from 16 per cent in the same period, according to a......

Chinese immigrants emerge as pivotal players in Canada′s property market amid foreign ban (SCMP)
|
|
|
Mainland Chinese immigrants were estimated to have bought as much as C$5.7 billion (US$4 billion) worth of homes in Canada last year, making them a key group of non-local investors propping up the residential property market, according to one estimate.
Ottawa barred most foreigners from purchasing homes in 2023 to cool soaring prices, initially imposing the restriction for two years before extending it until 2027.
The ban, however, exempted students, foreign workers and permanent residents.

Why China must end the lucrative marriage between property and banks (SCMP)
|
|
|
Capital seeks sanctuary. In China's property sector, however, that quest for safety had inadvertently erected a cage. The recent government takeover of Wuhan-based private lender Zhongbang Bank, expected to see a dilution of its private capital amid serious credit risks, is a calculated regulatory action. It echoes a larger and darker precedent.
A few years ago, another commercial lender, Shengjing Bank, became caught up in the Evergrande debt crisis. There was speculation property developer......

Mainland China′s luxury housing boom is keeping wealthy buyers at home, report says (SCMP)
|

China's booming luxury housing market is keeping more wealth onshore, a trend that analysts say may pose a growing challenge to Hong Kong's still resilient high-end residential market.
A report by Gavekal Dragonomics analyst Zhang Xiaoxi said Beijing's tightening crackdown on illicit capital outflows, including through Hong Kong's “grey market”, was making domestic luxury property an increasingly attractive store of value for wealthy mainland Chinese.
While China's broader housing market......

Chinese technology companies establishing new headquarters and offices in northern cities around Beijing are expected to boost local rental demand, but analysts say home sales growth will be far milder than the surges delivered by traditional tech firms in previous years.
Local governments hoping that red-hot artificial intelligence or chip companies setting up headquarters or research and development centres would lift slumping property markets as in the previous cycle were likely to be......
