In late February, Hong Kong removed all additional stamp duties for foreign and second home buyers, as well as on those selling flats within two years of buying them, after prices had plunged 20% from their 2021 peak, hurt by higher mortgage rates, an outflow of talent, and a weak market outlook. The property market immediately celebrated the end of those measures with a jump in transactions, but analysts expect prices to remain subdued in the near term as property developers rush to launch sales at steep discounts.
