Property Net Info

Information abounds in the internet, that's good! What's bad is the difficulty in knowing which ones are reliable. The whole of the internet is like the ocean, full of the good and bad. Here in Hong Kong, one of the most followed information is regarding properties: real estate! Hong Kong people are property mad. This is where many have made their money. But many too are without any. It appears that the rich ones accumulate many flats to live in and rent out. The poor ones, have no choice but to live in government built spartan-like shoeboxes - but I digress, that's another story. To know what you're getting yourself into, you need to search a lot. First by internet, then by agents, then by going to the site yourself! If you miss one of these steps, you'll most probably make a bad and expensive decision. One website that can be used is hkhomesreview.com which appears to be a site maintained by a photo enthusiast. He takes photos and gathers information of residential estates in Hong Kong. The difference of this site from other real estate websites is that it appears to have a deeper knowledge of most of the estates it writes about. Websites of the bigger Real Estate companies offer details on prices and sizes, but they don't carry information regarding the goodness or bad-ness of the estates! But yes, they do serve their own purpose. Other net users are quite helpful in providing information that they have - to find them, you need to go through a lot of user fora. Again, take their advice with a pinch of salt. Internet savvy people will be able to find what they need with not much effort, but beginners on the other hand need some help to find reliable info that they use to make decisions. So, whether you're hunting for a place to buy, rent, or just spend a few nights on, we wish you the best.
