The rebound of the Hong Kong real estate market has driven short-term resale activity

1、 Short term resale cases surge, with profits accounting for as much as 86%

According to data from the Comprehensive Land Registry of Meilian Property Research Center, a total of 187 resale cases with a holding period of one year or less were recorded in February, nearly 1.1 times higher than the 90 cases in January, indicating a significant increase. Among them, there were 161 cases of book profits, accounting for a high proportion of 86%. This data has broken through its peak for the second consecutive month after reaching a new high in January, clearly reflecting the increasing short-term profit opportunities in the real estate market and the gradual emergence of market profitability effects, which has further attracted more investors to participate.

2、 Compared to historical speculation, the current market is far from overheating

It is worth noting that although short-term resale activities have shown an active and rapid upward trend in recent times, there is still a significant gap compared to the peak period of real estate speculation in 1997, and there is no sign of excessive speculation. According to statistics, during 1997, there were an average of over 900 cases of single confirmation person registration (with a shorter holding time than within one year) per month, and nearly 11000 cases throughout the year; However, the current 187 short-term resale cases in February have a significant gap compared to the level at that time, far from reaching the stage of "overheating" or even "prevailing trend".

3、 The market is showing a healthy recovery trend, and speculative risks are controllable

Overall, the current active short-term resale is a natural reflection of the overall recovery of the real estate market, rather than a signal of excessive speculation. The release of demand from users entering the market, investors seizing short-term profit opportunities, and the active participation of large buyers jointly promote the increase of market activity. The consecutive breaking of short-term profit cases has further enhanced market confidence. From the comparison of historical data, the current market is still in a healthy recovery zone, with a mild speculative atmosphere and a stable overall development trend, laying a good foundation for the smooth operation of the real estate market in the future.
