Hong Kong keeps tight grip on housing land supply despite property rebound

Hong Kong's government plans to release only one residential land site for sale during the July to September quarter, continuing a controlled approach to land supply despite a recent rebound in the housing market. The site, located in Ho Man Tin, is expected to yield around 250 units and includes requirements for social welfare facilities. Officials emphasize that their strategy considers overall housing supply, not just immediate land sales. The site, part of the 2026-27 financial year's land sale program, was recently finalized and is positioned in a well-established neighborhood. With the housing market showing signs of recovery, the government has adjusted its land premium revenue target to HK$18 billion, with analysts suggesting actual revenue could fall between HK$14 billion and HK$16 billion due to a focus on market stability.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the government's rationale for its cautious land supply policy without overtly criticizing or praising the decision. It provides balanced information about both the government's strategy and the market's response, citing official statements and analyst estimates. There is no明显的左
