According to Citi Property Survey about the residential property ownership in Hong Kong in response to the withdrawal of all property cooling measures, the survey found that over 70% of the affluent individuals surveyed express a greater interest in home ownership, and 50% think it is now a better time to buy a property. Among the home-owner respondents in the affluent segment, 62% express a greater interest in changing to a new property. Compared to the general respondents, those in the affluent segment are more interested in buying a property as an investment (46%), followed by support to their children (34%) and a source of rental income (25%).
Among all the property cooling measures that have been lifted, the respondents in the affluent segment are most aware of the removal of the Special Stamp Duty (SSD, 65%) and Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD, 61%). Of those who express a greater interest in home ownership in the affluent segment, 42% cite the removal of SSD as one of the reasons for their increased interest in buying a property, followed by the easing of loan-to-value ratios for residential properties (41%) and the removal of BSD (36%).
