According to figures from the Hong Kong Housing Authority, the number of transactions for Home Ownership Scheme flats surged by 70% to 850 units in April, but subsequently declined for six consecutive months from May due to the softening property market, with October seeing a further 4.6% decrease to 251 units. However, the cumulative number of transactions for Home Ownership Scheme flats in the first 10 months of 2024 still increased by 33% compared to the same period last year, totaling 3835 units.
