Still, other buyers may be looking for a more stable alternative to Hong Kong, riddled by demonstrations over recent months.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This may explain why we have observed more foreign buyers,

the same pricing range.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We do see that even though the stamp duties have increased&#8230; we are still seeing people putting big money on these apartments, predominantly more for stability than anything else,&#8221; said Leong Boon Hoe, chief operating officer of high-end property agency List Sotheby&#8217;s International
