In terms of confidence index, Centaline analyst Samson Sum pointed out that the hot selling of large new developments in the West Kowloon area has led to a strong first-hand market, keeping the atmosphere in the Hong Kong property market vibrant. Combined with the good performance of the Hong Kong stock market, the confidence of property owners in the future has increased, leading to a rise in the confidence index. The "Centaline Confidence Index" (compiled based on the weekly changes in Centaline's internet property prices) that reflects the attitude of property owners towards listing has reached 81.4 points, up 1.5% from the previous week, marking an increase for the 5th consecutive week. With the confidence index consistently above average, it suggests that property prices in Hong Kong have strong potential for further upward movement.
