According to an insider, Eric had bought a mansion in a landed property development named Rainbow Villas in 1988, two years after it was completed in 1986. At that time, the mansion was valued at HKD$4.03mil (S$705,000), which was the price Eric had paid for the 1,789 sqft house.

When reached for a comment, Liza shared that she has no intentions to sell her home, and that the sky-high price of said property was beyond her expectations.

When the Pavilia Farm development in the New Territories district opened for subscription on 17 Oct 2020, eager buyers stocked up on food and water as they prepared for a long wait at the end of a snaking queue where signs read: "Expected waiting time: 8 hours."
The condo project, attractively priced and close to the busy Kowloon district, received close to 23,000 subscriptions for its first phase of 391 units. When completed in late 2022 it will have 3,000 apartments. All 391 units were sold, with prices from Singapore dollars $3,7xx psf onwards (HK$21,000 psf) the developer will be launched more units soon possibly at higher prices after seeing the take-up at Pavilia being the strongest in more than 20 years in one of the world's most expensive property markets and matched the frenzy seen at the time of the 1997 handover of the former British colony to China.
It is interesting to note that this rush to buy property in Hong Kong comes after social upheaval in the past year over China's plans to introduce a national security law in Hong Kong, which has led many investors to question the future of the global financial hub.
