You can’t help but ignore the news. Apparently, if you have been following current news reports in Hong Kong’s Dailies, the city’s housing market is soon to become affordable. If you’ve been waiting for a buying opportunity or are looking to upgrade then, perhaps you need to start your research now.
People use various criteria to shortlist apartments that they may consider buying. Proximity to schools, work, and other conveniences along with access to Hong Kong’s excellent public transport network and the recreation facilities available, are some of the popular criteria used to make a buying choice.
Many of the newer apartment complexes in Hong Kong offer a gaggle of facilities including what agents often describe as five-star clubhouses. The on-site availability of a clubhouse is extremely desirable especially if you don’t have access to one Hong Kong’s exclusive private member clubs.
