Home prices rose in four of the five previous rate-hike cycles, Morgan Stanley analysts said in a note to clients. Faster economic growth, the city-state’s attraction as a global hub and demand from buyers flush with cash from collective sale redevelopments will underpin the housing market, they said.

Luxury Site on HK’s Peak Draws Just Five Bids

A luxury residential site on The Peak received just five bids from property developers, reflecting a cooling appetite for risk as market sentiment continues to soften amid the worsening US-China trade war, rising financing costs and a sharp decline in the stock market, according to one expert.

Thomas Lam, executive director of Knight Frank, said the large scale of the site, and the funds ­required to adequately develop it, combined with the availability of other upcoming tenders, were among the reasons only a handful of bids were received despite the rarity of the land. Read more>>

HK Now World’s 2nd Leading Target for Cross-Border Real Estate Investors

Hong Kong has moved up 14 places to emerge as the second favourite destination globally for cross-border investment after London, according to an annual report on global commercial real estate investment activity published by Cushman and Wakefield on Thursday.

The city was the second-largest destination for mainland investment last year, attracting a record US$8.57 billion, up by 61 per cent year on year, according to Knight Frank. The cross-border investment it received on the whole in the 12 months ending in June surged by 259.4 per cent to US$13.26 billion. Read more>>
