HK Rental Prices & Protests - Up or Down?

[TaD_LaLa]

I negotiated a 2k reduction on the listed price of my apartment recently. And the agents all said it's quiet when I pushed them on it. I was also looking at a brand new 2 bed + storage/maids room in Quarry Bay. They started at 30k. I said I'd pay 20k (I was being a bit cheeky but didn't want it otherwise). Anyway, I kept looking a d stayed in touch with a couple of agents over the last 3 months. Eventually one has said they will rent it for 20k. Some others have dropped to 23k. And despite this some are still holding out for around 30k for the exact same apartment. So I guess it just depends on how much the landlord needs his/her apartment rented

So you ended up getting the 2 bed + maid's room in Quarry Bay for 20k?

That was almost a year ago and it was a new building with literally 100s of apartments for rent. The same building now doesn't have any 2 beds for rent at all that I can find advertised.
