Hong Kong Bubble?: Hong Kong Residential Property Prices August 2010

There has been much speculation recently about an ongoing price bubble occurring in the Hong Kong residential property market.

The University of Hong Kong’s Residential Real Estate Series (HKU-REIS) indicated that, in August, the price of residential properties increased a whopping 4.31% since July climbing 20.84% above the level seen in August 2009.

The “Hong Kong Island” index, “Kowloon” and “New Territories” sub-components also showed notable year-over-year increases.

The HKU-REIS is a set of property price indices constructed monthly using a “modified” repeat-sale methodology similar to that of the S&P/Case-Shiller indices yet suited to the Hong Kong property market.

No agents, no agency fees!
In Hong Kong the fee for buying a property through an agent is 1% and renting a property through an agent is usually 1 month's rent. That may not sound like a lot but do the math and there is a lot you can do with that extra cash.Hong Kong Property Search (http://www.hongkongpropertysearch.com/) is here to link the buyer with the seller and the tenant with the landlord. No agents, no agency fees.

With the price of property what it is today and the global economic situation, who wants to pay out that extra for agency fees when it is not necessary!

China is experiencing a pretty serious property bubble that is already in the midst of crashing. They have entire cities they've built over recent years that are largely standing empty. If that isn't a bubble, I don't know what is.
