Hong Kong Property Market: "Big-Ticket" Buyers Hit an 18-Year High for the Period; One Investor Splurges HK$100 Million on 10 Units, Another Earns HK$1.1 Million from Resale

In the first quarter of 2026, Hong Kong new home sales registrations hit an ATH (All-Time High) for the same period, while "big-ticket" buyers reached an 18-year high for the period, becoming the "leader" of the national property market. Amid geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, safe-haven capital is shifting toward Hong Kong. Meanwhile, rental floors, declining interest rates, and the introduction of end-user demand through various talent schemes are driving a property market recovery. Mainland buyers have been the first to act, with large transactions being frequently seen. Diverse demand across self-occupation, investment, and leasing is supporting the property market. Experts predict that the Hong Kong property market remains on an upward trajectory, but home prices will not see a "90-degree vertical" surge.
