Property Report attended the Full Year 2024 PH Property Market Report hosted by Leechiu Property Consultants (LPC). The event focused on the challenges and opportunities facing the residential property sector. As 2024 draws to a close, the market has demonstrated both resilience and a cautious outlook, presenting unique opportunities for buyers and developers to realign their strategies.

Sales take-up for the first eleven months dropped 63% compared to full-year 2023, and new project launches fell to approximately half of last year's volume. While these figures underscore the market's cautious state, they also present an opportune moment for buyers.
