Hong Kong warehouses: bid now or wait after a 3.2% fall?

There is also a tactical reason not to rush. If a suitable listing is approaching the point when comparable sellers have reduced prices, submit a documented offer rather than waiting silently. The seller can reject it, but you learn whether the asking price is firm.
 
Take dated screenshots or notes at fixed intervals. That addresses both Julia’s price-cut question and the relisting problem. Changes in photos, description or agent contact should not automatically reset the property’s marketing history.
 
One caveat: once the sample is divided by neighbourhood, subtype and condition, each group may be very small. In that situation, avoid turning one completed sale into a market trend. Use it as a comparison point and keep the uncertainty visible.
 
The practical choice seems to be: wait only if genuinely new comparable stock is accumulating. Otherwise, identify the best same-building or same-neighbourhood completed evidence, price the condition work separately, verify continuous marketing time, and make a bid based on that—not automatically 3.2% below the asking price.
