Homebuilders in Hong Kong started offering discounts for new projects, which is one of the latest signs that city’s property boom comes to an end, Bloomberg reports.

Discounts from different companies are from 10 to 12 percent.

Amid obvious slowdown of the market sellers of new houses offer not only discounts, but also other incentives including cash rebates and shipping vouchers to stimulate sales. The last might fell by 10-15 percent in money value within next 12-18 months, experts of Moody’s Investors Service assume.

As a result, number of warnings in regards to the least affordable market in the world keeps accumulating. Some analytics forecast price falling by 15% next year.

It shall be noted that secondary homes sales fell last week the most since 2016 by 1,3% compared with the previous week.
