The fortunes of two of Asia’s hottest property markets are diverging. YahooFinance

Singapore is now ranked No. 1 for real estate investment prospects in terms of price increases in 2020. Hong Kong, buffeted by months of violent anti-government protests, has plunged to the bottom of the list from 14th place in 2019. That’s according to an Urban Land Institute and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP report released Tuesday into property trends in the region.

Over the past few quarters, apartment prices have rebounded in Singapore, signaling resilience in the residential market, while the office sector has largely absorbed the oversupply. Cross-Border CapitalSingapore was also one of the few markets regionally to see a jump in property transactions in the first half, with most activity driven by cross-border capital. Deals totaled $4.9 billion in the period, up 73% year-on-year, the report found.

Hong Kong’s plunge to the least-favored real estate investment destination next year comes as the city’s tourism and retail sectors take a battering, impacting economic growth.
