Hong Kong’s sky high housing prices have slid for the third straight month

The struggles of Asia’s wealthiest city continue to dominate real estate news from around the region today as home prices in Hong Kong fell by 1.4 percent in August – their fastest decline of 2019. The performance by the Greater China financial centre looks all the worse as its southern rival Singapore saw prices in its housing market climb for the second straight quarter.

Also in the headlines today, Blackstone continues its string of warehouse acquisitions with a $5.9 billion US acquisition and Hong Kong’s Shui On Land breaks ground on its latest development in the the Xintiandi area. Mingtiandi has all these stories and more for all of you not lucky enough to get away for the 1 October holiday.
