EconomyHong Kong housing rally faces test as property flippers retreat

Hong Kong’s housing rebound is facing a new test as investors who benefited from the first-half recovery pull back from quick-turn trades. Secondary prices are still rising, with Centaline’s leading index reaching a three-year high of 162.16 on Friday, but transactions involving homes held for less than a year have fallen sharply, leaving owner-occupiers and long-term buyers to support the recovery.
