The next Sale of Balance Flats exercise will also be held next month, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Some sellers have also raised their asking price since housing demand has returned," she said.

Ms Sun said the property market is still at risk from a confluence of economic challenges - a global economic slowdown, a grim employment outlook and the adverse impact of the withdrawal to come of government support measures for businesses.
