〈Asian Post, Apr 1, 2026〉The residential property market is likely to remain supported this year, with JLL and CBRE pointing to active primary sales, lower borrowing costs, and continued investor interest despite external risks.
JLL said February’s sharp rise in home prices was mainly driven by strong stock market performance and optimism about future property trends. It added that some secondary-market owners raised asking prices during the Lunar New Year period, which further lifted housing prices.
Looking ahead, JLL said a correction in the stock market in March could cause some secondary-home seekers to hold back, leading to lower transaction volumes in the secondary market.
〈RTHK News, Mar 28, 2026〉Secretary for Development Bernadette Linn on Thursday said details of the Urban Renewal Authority's enhanced Smart Tender platform would be announced next month in the run-up to its introduction by the end of the year.
Following the Wang Fuk Court inferno in which 168 people were killed, authorities announced plans to beef up the platform as part of a wider push to lower the risks of bid-rigging.
The platform will feature a list of renovation and construction contractors that have been more stringently vetted while the authority will be tasked with conducting tender invitations and assessments.
Linn said the Buildings Department had been asked to be more flexible with homeowners under orders to carry out maintenance work on their buildings ahead of the platform's launch.
