    what is fundamentally sustaining the rises though when developers are discounting 20% in primary market and secondary market is basically frozen?

    caught up with my landlord last week and he now basically cannot sell without a massive discount

    While it seems pretty evident nowadays property sellers are having an increasingly tough time our beloved rag still seems to run tycoon-sponsored articles saying property is on the rise again, hilarious:

    Friend said it took him 6 months to recently shift an apartment in Wanchai, so yes it is sticky.

    Don't they already have a MTR line there? The East Rail line (formerly of the KCR) has two stops at Tai Po if I'm not mistaken.

    Im unsure to be honest, im just relaying words from the street, heard they were going to run the mtr right up to fanling eventually and get rid of the east rail line...

    You really have no clue about Hong Kong! The MTR runs the East Rail line. Start here to further your education: http://www.mtr.com.hk

    The "street" you refer to is obviously full of similarly clueless people, and is obviously located far away from Hong Kong!
