Over the weekend, only six transactions were recorded across Hong Kong’s top 10 housing estates, marking a 57.1% drop compared to the previous week. This brings transaction levels back to the low point seen five weeks ago. Among these estates, six recorded no transactions at all. During the Ching Ming Festival long weekend, a total of 16 transactions were recorded across the estates.
According to Centaline Property, the primary market continues to dominate buyers' attention. The attractive pricing of new developments, combined with the Ching Ming holiday travel plans of some residents, contributed to the significant drop in transactions for these estates. Over the three-day Ching Ming holiday, more than 130 transactions were recorded in the primary market, with notable success in the sale of 69 units at In One Above. It's projected that primary market transactions in Hong Kong could reach 3,000 units this month.
