Hong Kong’s property sales flopped for the fourth straight weekend, as homebuyers turned their backs on unsold projects to wait for better discounts, amid a real estate slump in the city’s worst economic contraction in decades.
Wheelock Properties sold 13 flats, or 13 per cent of the 101 units on offer at its Grand Marini project in Lohas Park as of 6:45pm, sales agents said. The same project was 90 per cent sold two months earlier, with 18 potential buyers vying for every available unit then.
“These are leftover stock,” said Ricacorp Properties’ associate director Alvin Leung, adding that prices of the latest phase had been gradually raised after the successes of the previous sales.
“Buyers are adopting a wait-and-see attitude, in anticipation of CK Asset’s upcoming project” that is expected to launch in the same neighbourhood in June, he said.
