Recently, Hong Kong's property market has become quite interesting, with even the big shots in the real estate industry starting to feel a bit puzzled. In the latest property program, several leading figures engaged in a heated discussion about the future direction of the Hong Kong property market. The amount of information is huge, so let's break it down.
The "Strange" Phenomenon in Hong Kong's Property Market: Even the Big Shots Can't Understand It?
At the beginning of the program, the big shots mentioned that some "strange" phenomena have appeared in the Hong Kong property market recently. In their words, "The Hong Kong market is very strange," even exceeding their "expected range."
Where exactly does this "strangeness" lie? It turns out they've noticed a decoupling between the Hong Kong and U.S. property markets. According to past experience, when the U.S. raises interest rates, Hong Kong would follow suit; when the U.S. cuts rates, Hong Kong would adjust accordingly. But now, even if there are interest rate changes in the U.S., Hong Kong may not necessarily follow step by step.
Furthermore, some big shots bluntly stated that the Hong Kong property market is now like a "wild horse," making it difficult to predict. What exactly is going on?
The "Specialness" of Hong Kong's Property Market: "Parting Ways" with the U.S.?
Ah Sang Ge hit the nail on the head: the Hong Kong and U.S. markets should inherently have "four different" sets of rules. Why is that?
The reason is that Hong Kong's economic structure is fundamentally different from that of the U.S. Hong Kong is a highly open economy with very free capital flow. Therefore, Hong Kong's interest rate policy, in addition to considering U.S. factors, is also affected by international capital flows.
For example, if the U.S. cuts interest rates and hot money floods into Hong Kong, even if Hong Kong does not follow suit, the cost of capital will not be too high. Conversely, if the U.S. raises interest rates but capital outflow from Hong Kong is not severe, then Hong Kong may not need to raise rates step by step.
In short, the trend of the Hong Kong property market depends on both the U.S. and Hong Kong's own special circumstances. This leads to the Hong Kong property market sometimes developing an "independent trend."
