Hong Kong's home prices have reached a 19-month high, with a 0.53% month-on-month increase in January, continuing a recovery that began in Q2 2025. Rents also rose by 0.3%, setting a new peak. Analysts expect the residential market to remain strong in 2026, with transaction volumes projected to increase by over 20%, returning to historical peak levels. This recovery follows a 3.25% increase in home prices in 2025, ending a three-year downturn. The rent index has also hit a record high, reflecting ongoing demand and market resilience.
