Macao’s property market has fallen by roughly 40 percent since its 2018 peak, according to an August report by the Macau General Association of Real Estate – which noted that the removal of local property market curbs last April had yet to halt the slide. The report suggested reducing down-payments for homeowners from 30 percent to 15 percent as a potential measure to stimulate the sector.
