Record-Breaking Year
Despite ongoing uncertainty in Hong Kong, be it the controversial national security law or its tight Covid policy, the city’s luxury residential market continues to break new records this year.
The last record-high price per square foot was HK$136,000 which was set in February this year through the sale of a 3,378 square foot home for more than $59 million.
