tensions with iran the us china trade war and weather related disasters as reasons . it is the world's most expensive real estate market but prices in hong kong are now under pressure after months of pro-democracy protests and while some losses are surprisingly large experts warn against too much pessimism for buyers. hong kong's real estate market is the most expensive in the world after months of democracy protests real estate prices in hong kong are falling this tiny shop of less than 2 square meters in a cramped corner of want is a powerful symbol of change former investment banker turned property fund manager edwin li explains. this is this shop that very much to pay so based on my best lot of shared memory the shop lost the most money in hong kong the store was once a currency exchange kiosk but the tourism downturn means it's now a real estate office bought for just over

a 1000000 euros it sold for less than half now because that because his 2nd home always the repo market and people simply not willing to buy shops anymore so that land not once in a hurry to sell the shop then what so it wouldn't without it a big loss. and it's not just the little shops like the one in one shy the downturn could even hit prime real estate like homes near hong kong's high speed rail terminus this links the territory to china and real estate here is much sought after by mainland chinese demand is softening because they are now staying away. property consultant vincent chung says there's no cause for panic because no one is in a rush to sell it. in whole call i guess more than 60 percent off the properties which with. them is more most of. all older 'd they don't need to we pay the mortgage and that's why i say they can't wait to see even

though the market is a lot worse at this structure why now that they don't have to say so i would hope they seem that wash and that's why i say that's a lot must say at justin and all caution all the pies at this moment. the economic downturn ended the longest bull market in hong kong history. but the economy is solid no one is writing hong kong off yet. me you just brought back that report from hong kong clifford what are your impressions of the real estate market among ordinary people in hong kong well i think people are looking at this and i think that they it's almost time for a correction i mean the prices are very very high and every one of you seen that people do back the protests largely i'm part of the reasons is the dissatisfaction on congress because property prices have been so high so my level i think. among ordinary people i think there is people are not too worried about the fact that prices are falling it also means that rents are more affordable and also for

businesses in the city center of makes it more affordable for for rents but now we're looking at a question about how far that could fall and looking at office rents it was a survey today saying that they could fall by 40 percent in the next 2 years so while people are feeling ok about it i think they're also maybe they just don't want to things to fall too far you mentioned the pro-democracy protests there how big is the role that these protests have played when it comes to the economy i think the people while there is a broad backing for the protests they also do create uncertainty and markets and investors and everyone in the economy doesn't really like uncertainty so i think that's that's been the big factor as we know real estate as we've seen this incredible market in hong kong which has grown for 15 years now and it's just become such a huge market but the protests of certainly created a cloud of uncertainty and i think that this is something that people are slightly concerned about and going forward they'll be hoping that a resolution is reached so that the market can recover quickly as it always has done before prices in hong kong is red hot real estate market suddenly declining
