Hong Kong private housing prices expected to rise at least 10% in 2026
According to 36Kr, Hong Kong's private housing price index for August 2026 stood at 320.5, up 0.06% month-on-month, and 19.49% below the September 2021 peak of 398.1. The data from the Hong Kong Rating and Valuation Department, cited by 36Kr, indicate a brief market pause followed by expectations of a slower September rise (up to 0.5%), a Q3 decline of about 0.28%, and a full-year price increase of at least 10%, attributed to improving economic performance, a rebound in stocks, and sustained demand, according to Chen Haichao of Ricacorp Property Research.
