Property prices have “already” hit rock bottom but there won’t be a sharp rebound unless the city’s infrastructure and the economy are improved, Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) Macau’s residential property chief Jeff Wong Chi Wai said yesterday.
Wong made the comments during a media briefing at his office in the Finance and IT Centre about the global real estate services firm’s Macau mid-year property review and forecast.
According to the company’s data, the capital values for high-end and mass-to-medium residential properties fell by 15.4 percent and 14.7 percent year-on-year respectively in the first half of the year, while their yields contracted to 1.6 percent and 1.7 percent year-on-year respectively.
