Track2Realty: The global house price boom continued during the year to Q1 (first quarter) 2014, gathering pace. Despite strongly rising housing markets in Taiwan and the Philippines, the momentum seems to be passing momentarily from Asia, where interventionist authorities have slowed housing markets in Hong Kong, Singapore and China.

Track2Realty Exclusive: Real estate markets across the country have the uniform pattern of being speculative if the given market is high on the wish list of investors.

Track2Realty Exclusive: Every project is launched with the presumption of existing demand in the given catchment area. If that be the reason the sector should not have been sitting over a record inventory. Track2Realty tries to explore what defines demand and how the flawed concept of demand leads to demand-supply mismatch.
