Occasionally it’s helpful to gain a little perspective on local real estate markets by studying activity in the highest priced (hyper-expensive) markets. Christopher Dillon is a Hong Kong–based writer and author of several books on how to purchase property in Asia (Landed Hong Kong, Landed Japan, Landed China, and Landed Global). I highly recommend his books to anybody remotely interested in Asian real estate or those looking for strategies to compete in highly competitive and hyper-expensive markets.
Below is a presentation Dillon gave at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club in Hong Kong on June 28, 2018. A transcript of the presentation is available here. This video offers three practical strategies for owning a home when you live in a hyper-expensive city like London, Hong Kong, Shanghai, San Francisco, Vancouver or Sydney.
