In 2023, Asia’s housing market faced a downturn amid weakening economic growth and the inflationary environment, according to a report by Global Property Guide.
“Hong Kong’s housing market woes continue, amidst [a] struggling economy,” as residential construction activity in the region fell by more than 34% year-over-year and inflation-adjusted residential property prices plunged by more than 9% in 2023, according to the report.
Prices for housing in regions of Southeast Asia such as Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (-1.18%) and Malaysia (-1.06%) have also fallen.
On the other hand, cities like Taipei and Singapore remain resilient despite the overall market environment — with housing prices up 5.17% and 2.74% in 2023, respectively.
Overall, the global housing market seems to be stabilizing as inflationary pressures ease in many countries and central banks pause their rate hikes, according to the report.
