Hong Kong, the world's least affordable housing market, is heading for a steep correction. But resilient local demand, a land shortage, fewer speculators and higher down payments might pad this downturn, explains mak_robyn :

The Hong Kong government is set to release economic data on Nov. 15. Preliminary figures in October showed the Chinese-ruled city’s economy shrank by 3.2% in July-September from the preceding period, contracting for a second straight quarter and meeting the definition of a technical recession.

Hong Kong private home prices fell 1.8% in September from a month earlier, according to government data released on Oct. 31. This is the fourth month-on-month consecutive decline.
