Housing demand in Hong Kong continues, but Hong Kong is the toughest market for global property prices. According to Ma Anping, head of research at Jones Lang LaSalle, the situation is likely to intensify in the future. Property prices are expected to rise by at least 15% in the next two and a half years. As prices continue to rise, developers and others can consider developing shared living space. On the one hand, they can reduce the expenses on housing for each family and at the same time, the rental income of investors can rise.

Investors pay higher

At the same time, resources can be shared at leisure time Conversation is also more convenient, rather than simply relying on consumer mentality to rent units to live; as an investor, living together program can also increase the unit’s rental income, enjoy a higher return.
