Standard & Poor's expects that Hong Kong property prices will stabilize next year, raising the sales volume forecast for new projects to 0.02 million units.
Rating agency Standard & Poor's released a report stating that after a nearly 30% decline in high Hong Kong property prices in 2021, they are expected to stabilize next year. However, local developers are still struggling, mainly due to high inventory, and the recognition of residential projects purchased during the period of high land prices will further pressure profit margins. Nevertheless, Standard & Poor's believes that with the government relaxing housing market measures and interest rates trending downwards, they have revised their forecast for next year's new home sales volume to 0.02 million units. In addition, Standard & Poor's expects that the future three to four years' new supply may exceed 80% of the government's ten-year private residential supply target.
