AI Summary

Hong Kong buyers largely avoid homes that carry a “death‑linked” discount, even though the market remains the world’s least affordable. Agents say properties tied to an “unnatural death” such as murder or suicide can be offered up to 50 % off market value. Rental rates for these homes are usually about 20 % below comparable listings. The preference for avoiding such properties reflects a cultural aversion to the stigma associated with the deaths. This trend contrasts with markets that embrace the risk for lower prices.
