Hong Kong’s lived-in home prices opened the year with a 0.53 per cent month-on-month gain in January, according to official data, sustaining a recovery that began in the second quarter of 2025.
Rents in the city, meanwhile, continued to rise, surging by 0.3 per cent from a month earlier to set another peak, according to data released on Wednesday by the Rating and Valuation Department.
With the latest increment, the city’s second-hand home prices officially stood at 301.4, its highest since reaching 302.5 in June 2024. The increase was also faster than its 0.37 per cent ascent recorded in December, the latest data showed.
“With ample liquidity and clear signs of pent-up demand, we expect Hong Kong’s residential market in 2026 to remain resilient and positive,” said Hannah Jeong, head of valuation and advisory services at CBRE Hong Kong.
“Residential transaction volumes are projected to rise by over 20 per cent, returning to the historical peak levels of approximately 80,000 deals on average per year, last seen between 2018 and 2021,” Jeong added.
