Hong Kong's property market demonstrated continued strength on Saturday as buyers rapidly purchased newly released residential units. Sun Hung Kai Properties' Lime Spark project sold all 154 units, and Henderson Land's Highwood Phase 2 saw 147 of its 158 flats acquired. This robust demand fuels optimism for the market's ongoing upward trend. Experts attribute the urgency among buyers to an anticipated further increase in home prices, which have already risen by approximately 8% this year. The successful sales indicate that prospective buyers are keen to secure properties before prices escalate further.
