Analysed by age of building, the indices for residential units of buildings between 11 and 20 years old and for those of 5 years old or less decreased by 1.4 percent and 0.2 percent respectively, compared to the period between August and October last year. The index for those between 6 and 10 years old climbed by 1.4 percent.

Macao’s deteriorating post-pandemic property market has so far resisted several stimulus measures. However, new measures, including a waiver of real estate stamp duty for certain purchases and an increase of the mortgage loan-to-value ratio to 80 percent, have prompted local realtors Centaline to forecast up to 20 percent sales growth in 2026.
