    Stupid article ranking HK as "overvalued".

    HK has one of the densest populations in the world. Maximum tax of 15% on income. Zero capital gains tax. It's the lowest leveraged property market in Asia due to extremely stringent lending controls. Rental yields more then support current prices, indeed it's around 3 times cheaper to buy and pay a mortgage than it is to rent.

    Silly stuff. If anything HK is way undervalued.

    Hong Kong is the most expensive housing market in the world, with the median price at nineteen times income according to an article at the South China Morning Post.

    In comparison, the median price of a new apartment in Tokyo peaked at around eighteen times income in 1989, so Hong Kong is at a similar level.
