Hong Kong Residential Leasing - September 2024

 

 Surge in Relocations Amid Shifting Market Dynamics

  • Significant relocations within Southside driven by extensive renovations at Pacific View.
  • The luxury apartments index in Kowloon experienced a notable increase of 2.7%.
  • Long-term tenants from Mid-Levels are relocating to Southside for larger apartments and better views within similar budgets.
  • Expatriate professionals in the banking sector are returning with reduced budgets.
  • Mainland talents are increasingly favouring new developments on Kowloon side due to budget constraints.

Some intra and inter-district relocations are noted in Q2 with traditional leasing stock being either renovated or stratified, while newcomers favouring emerging districts across the harbour with newer developments.
