Buying a home in Asia's hottest real estate market isn't by any stretch an easy decision.

What most people would be more interested in, however, is their prediction that housing prices would likely decline three.
So with property prices being so high of late, agents must be in a great spot, right? While we still have the occasional agent flashing the goods on social media (remember, this is mainly to preen their feathers to build their team), things aren't so rosy on the ground. In fact, it's quite the opposite more agents are seemingly.
