Feature : Through the API "Application Programming Interface" to link up various banks’ real-time valuation. Not only the floor plan and the saleable area, but also the areas of the working platform, balcony, flat roof and roof area, garden and garage etc..., will automatically be linked up with the listings of most types of properties including the large housing estates, single-block buildings, HOS flats, and green form HOS flats. These two links are evidence of “Real Listings", because this technology requires accurate and detailed addresses to do so. Up until now, no other property portals in Hong Kong can do that! Search for market asking prices and transaction prices for residential houses, HOS houses, industrial and commercial units, village houses and parking spaces in all districts. We are known for the transaction information for village houses on outlying islands and in New Territories, in which the DD Lots have been converted to village names and house numbers for the general public to understand.

Each property listing embodies a broad range of supplementary information, e.g. floor plan (layout), saleable area, working platform area, balcony area, flat roof area, rooftop area, garden area, garage area, orientation, year of completion, etc. The interested property buyers/users are allowed to take their time to search, research and analyze with our floor plan and VR Tour over our website to sort out the target properties perfectly matching their dream home design precisely. Online Listing : Property.hk is the largest and the most heavily trafficked Free property listing service online with over 500,000 unique visitors monthly. You can list and market your property over the Internet for the public and over the Intranet for our over 1,400 local top property agency firms and over 20,000 property agents- reducing your marketing cost, expanding your property's reach, enhancing your property's insight on the market, and accelerating the pace of the transaction!
