HONG KONG RESIDENTIAL SALES MARKET DYNAMICS

HONG KONG RESIDENTIAL SALES MARKET DYNAMICS

Relaxing the CIES to Safeguard the Northern MetropolisHong Kong’s residential property market has endured a three-year downturn, marked by a structural oversupply of housing units. While lower housing costs and increased availability align with social objectives, this environment has created a critical challenge—a contraction in the future development pipeline and a sharp erosion of governmentland revenue.The number of units on disposed sites (ready for imminent construction) plummeted by 33% year-on-year to about 12,000 units in 2024.Government land premium income collapsed to about HKD 4 billion in the first three quarters of FY2024/25—a fraction of both last year’s HKD 13.9 billion actual income and this year’s HKD 33 billion target.If left unaddressed, relying on market self-correction risks perpetuating a downward spiral of asset devaluation, stalling urban renewal projects, and jeopardizing strategic initiatives such as the Northern Metropolis—a cornerstone of Hong Kong’s long-term economic and social development.The Northern Metropolis, envisioned to house 2.5 million residents and generate 650,000 jobs, demandsunwavering commitment from developers. However, their participation hinges on confidence in future demand and returns. With demand-side headwinds intensifying—sticky U.S. interest rates dampening price recovery prospects and population growth lagging—developers are increasingly reluctant to commit capital to large-scale projectsThis hesitancy creates a vicious cycle:Prolonged oversupply suppresses developer margins, reducing their capacity to invest in future projects.Falling land premiums strain public finances, limiting critical infrastructure investments for the NorthernMetropolisActivating Demand-Side Mechanisms to Resolve Structural OversupplyThe solution to the current market stalemate lies in activating demand-side mechanisms. We propose the following targeted refinements to enhance the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (CIES):Full recognition of residential property investments – Allow 100% of residential property investments to counttoward the HKD 30 million eligibility threshold under the CIES.Remove price restrictions on residential property investment – Eliminate the HKD 50 million valuationrequirement for residential properties under the CIES.DOwnload now!

This article explores the latest developments shaping the industry and their implications for investors, developers, and homeowners.Regulatory Overhaul: Strengthening Accountability and FairnessLaunch of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA)To combat fraud and streamline operations, Pakistan’s federal government has finalized plans to establish a Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA). Modeled on global best practices, RERA is set to introduce stringent measures to professionalize the sector:Mandatory registration for agents and developers, with penalties ranging from Rs50,000 to Rs0.5 million for non-compliance.Criminal liability, including up to three years’ imprisonment, for unregistered agents.Enhanced buyer protections, such as license cancellations for fraudulent disclosures and fines up to Rs1 million for unauthorized transactions.This framework aims to rebuild trust in real estate transactions while aligning Pakistan’s sector with international standards (GNN News, 2025).Revised Property Valuations in KarachiThe Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has recalibrated property valuations in Karachi to reflect depreciation and market realities. Adjustments include:5% reduction in assessed values for homes aged 5–10 years.Up to 50% reduction for flats over 30 years old.This revision eases tax burdens for homeowners and incentivizes transactions in aging properties, potentially revitalizing Karachi’s mid-tier housing market.Relaxed Rules for Non-FilersIn a bid to stimulate market activity, the FBR now permits non-filers to purchase properties valued up to PKR 10 million. This policy shift aims to:Boost liquidity in the PKR 5–10 million segment.Encourage informal investors to enter the formal economy.Support developers in optimizing pricing strategies for broader buyer pools.Investment Trends: Institutionalization and DiversificationEmergence of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)Pakistan’s first major REIT, launched by fashion giant Image, marks a milestone in institutionalizing real estate investments.

Developers are prioritizing:AI-driven automation (smart lighting, security).Solar energy systems and recycled construction materials.Mixed-use projects combining residential, commercial, and leisure spaces for higher yields.Luxury and Vertical ExpansionUrbanization is driving demand for high-rise luxury apartments, particularly in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.Standard features in premium developments now include:Concierge servicesRooftop gardensCo-working spacesMarket Dynamics: Growth Projections and HotspotsPakistan’s real estate sector is projected to grow at 3.75% annually through 2029.Key Trends by City:Karachi: Revitalization of older neighborhoods through revised FBR valuations.Islamabad: Boom in mixed-use projects near the CPEC route.Lahore: Surge in luxury high-rises catering to returning expatriates.Conclusion: Navigating a Transformative EraPakistan’s real estate sector is transitioning from an informal, cash-driven market to a regulated, institutionalized industry.While RERA and REITs signal maturity, challenges remain, including:Balancing affordability with luxury demand.Ensuring compliance with new tax regulations.To capitalize on emerging opportunities, stakeholders must leverage data-driven insights, sustainable practices, and policy reforms.

Vietnam Real Estate: Housing Affordability and E-Commerce Shifts

Vietnam Real Estate: Housing Affordability and E-Commerce Shifts

Written by Dustin Trung Nguyen, Head of IQI VietnamVIETNAM REAL ESTATE MARKET OVERVIEWResidential MarketHo Chi Minh City (HCMC) has banned apartment owners from leasing their properties for short durations as part of efforts to curb unauthorized Airbnb-like services.Only licensed businesses offering tourism services will now be allowed to lease properties for short-term stays, although the authorities have not clearly defined what constitutes a "short" duration.With the rapid increase in apartment towers across Vietnam’s largest city, many owners have turned to short-term rentals, using platforms like Airbnb and social media to connect with customers. However, most of these rental incomes remain untaxed.The popularity of Airbnb-style rentals has led to conflicts between short-term tenants and long-term residents, who often complain about noise disturbances late at night and cleanliness issues.Rising Property Prices and Affordability ChallengesSoaring property prices have left many young people unable to rent or buy homes.According to property analyst Le Quoc Kien, young people whose parents own homes in Hanoi and HCMC often have no choice but to live with their families to save money. With average salaries ranging from VND 10-15 million, homeownership has become a distant dream.A recent Global Property Guide report ranked Hanoi as the 11th most expensive city in Asia for renting.The average rent for a two-bedroom unit in Hanoi has reached US$715, surpassing rental rates in Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Mumbai.A Vietnam Association of Realtors (VARS) bulletin highlights that house prices continue to outpace income growth, making homeownership increasingly unaffordable.VARS estimates that to buy an average apartment in Hanoi, a household would need to earn VND 45-210 million per month, equivalent to 2.3 to 10 times the actual incomes of most people.Nguyen Van Dinh, chairman of VARS, attributes rising prices to a supply shortage, as developers continue to cater mainly to high-income buyers and speculators, leaving low- and middle-income buyers with limited options.A report by the Ministry of Construction stated that apartment prices in HCMC increased by 20-30% in 2024.Affordable housing, which was once priced under VND 30 million per square meter, now starts at VND 45 million.A small apartment in Thu Duc City is now priced at nearly VND 2.5 billion.Commercial MarketHanoi's Shophouses Struggle Amid E-Commerce BoomMany shophouses in downtown Hanoi have been left vacant as shop owners struggle to keep their businesses afloat due to the rise of e-commerce.Thu Phuong, a former shop owner in Hanoi, recently vacated her 70-square-meter fashion store in Cau Giay District, after closing two other outlets earlier this year.While revenues from her three stores used to be sufficient to cover rent, declining sales forced her to end her lease contracts. She is now shifting her business online and looking for a smaller store inside alleys to reduce costs.Declining Demand for Physical Retail Spaces|Hanoi’s once-bustling commercial streets are seeing an increasing number of vacant outlets, as landlords struggle to find tenants:Kim Ma Street, known for its fashion stores and restaurants, now has over 40 closed storefronts.Nguyen Thai Hoc Street is experiencing similar vacancy trends.The Changing Landscape of Retail InvestmentsDuc Huy, a property broker with five years of experience, noted that the number of available shophouses has risen by 15-20% compared to last year.A five-floor house on Kim Ma has remained vacant since August, despite rent prices being lowered by 10% compared to two years ago, now at VND 50 million (US$1,960) per month.Shifting Consumer Preferences & Market AdjustmentsIn previous years, landlords could demand high rents, and tenants were willing to pay. However, that is no longer the case.Nguyen Chi Thanh, vice chairman of the Vietnam Association of Realtors, stated that shophouses face major challenges, as consumers increasingly prefer shopping in malls or online.Many businesses are redirecting investments away from physical locations and focusing on online marketing, which attracts more customers with lower overhead costs.Some analysts also highlight that Hanoi’s shophouses often lack sufficient parking spaces, making them less convenient for customers compared to malls.Declining Profitability of Shophouse RentalsDinh Minh Tuan, business director at listing platform Batdongsan, observed that the profitability of shophouse rentals has been declining due to shifting consumer behavior and increasing online sales competition.FOR MORE UPDATE NEWSLATTER, CLICK HERE!

Malaysia Leads ASEAN in Affordable Housing: A Sustainable Approach to Progress

Malaysia Leads ASEAN in Affordable Housing: A Sustainable Approach to Progress

By Dave Platter, Global PR DirectorIQI has compiled new data on access to affordable housing, revealing that Malaysia is a leader in ASEAN.“With a population of 34 million and a per capita GDP of RM51,001, Malaysia has limited resources to allocate to affordable housing,” said Kashif Ansari, Co-Founder and Group CEO of IQI.“Yet, it still allocates a significant amount. The 2024 budget alone dedicated RM2,850 million to this issue. Only three other ASEAN nations spent more, while three spent essentially nothing.”Mr. Ansari explained that this level of spending is having a real impact. Malaysia is on track to achieve its 12th Malaysia Plan target of building 500,000 affordable homes by 2026. As of September 2024, more than 443,259 units had already been completed.“In contrast to Malaysia,” he said, “some ASEAN nations have struggled to make progress on affordable housing. The Philippines set a target of constructing 1 million homes per year. However, the program has faced challenges due to insufficient funding, forcing the Philippine government to reduce its target by 2 million homes.”“In Cambodia, the government has admirable goals for affordable housing. However, high land and construction costs have made it difficult to attract private-sector investment.”“I can’t help concluding that Malaysia’s scalable and sustainable approach ensures steady progress on housing without overburdening government finances.”click for more info!

Sustainability And Profitability: Why Green Real Estate Is The Future

Sustainability And Profitability: Why Green Real Estate Is The Future

By Dante Azarmi, Head of Business DevelopmentAs global awareness of environmental issues increases, the real estate sector is undergoing a transformative shift toward sustainability. Investors are increasingly recognizing that eco-friendly properties not only benefit the planet but also offer substantial financial rewards. Here’s why green real estate is emerging as the future of profitable investing across global markets.Lower Operating CostsOne of the most compelling advantages of green buildings is their ability to reduce operating expenses. By incorporating energy-efficient systems, water-saving fixtures, and sustainable materials, these properties consume less energy and resources. This efficiency translates to significant cost savings over time, enhancing a property’s net operating income. In regions like Europe, Asia, and North America, governments are promoting energy-efficient developments through incentives and tax benefits, making sustainable buildings even more attractive.Increased Property ValueThe demand for sustainable properties is rising among tenants and buyers who prioritize environmental responsibility. This heightened interest often leads to higher occupancy rates and rental premiums. Consequently, green buildings tend to appreciate faster than conventional properties, offering investors robust returns. Cities such as London, Singapore, and Los Angeles are witnessing a surge in demand for eco-friendly residential and commercial spaces, driving higher valuations.Government Incentives and Global PoliciesMany governments worldwide are introducing incentives to promote sustainable real estate investments. These may include tax credits, grants, or subsidies aimed at offsetting the initial costs of green construction or retrofitting. For instance, the European Union’s Green Deal provides financial incentives for energy-efficient buildings, while countries such as Australia, Canada, and the UAE offer rebates for eco-friendly developments.Regulatory Compliance and Future-ProofingAs environmental regulations tighten worldwide, properties that already meet or exceed sustainability standards are better positioned to avoid costly retrofits or fines. Countries such as Germany, Japan, and the UK have introduced aggressive carbon-neutral targets for real estate. Investing in green properties ensures compliance with evolving regulations and safeguards long-term asset value in an increasingly eco-conscious world.Enhanced Marketability and Tenant DemandSustainable buildings often provide healthier living and working environments, with improved air quality and natural lighting. These features contribute to higher tenant satisfaction and retention rates, reducing vacancy periods and turnover costs. In global financial hubs such as New York, Dubai, and Hong Kong, major corporations are prioritizing eco-certified office spaces, further driving demand for sustainable real estate.Positive Environmental and Social ImpactBeyond financial gains, green real estate contributes to global sustainability efforts by reducing carbon footprints and conserving natural resources. This alignment with environmental goals enhances a property’s reputation and appeals to socially conscious investors, businesses, and tenants. Sustainable investments are becoming an integral part of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies, influencing institutional investors' decision-making worldwide.ConclusionThe convergence of economic benefits and environmental responsibility makes green real estate a compelling investment choice across international markets. From North America to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, governments, investors, and businesses are driving the shift toward sustainability. By embracing green building practices, investors not only contribute to a healthier planet but also position themselves to reap substantial financial rewards in an evolving real estate landscape.click for more info!
