Hong Kong Real Estate Market Sets Transaction Record Despite Global Headwinds

Hong Kong’s property market experiences extraordinary momentum at the beginning of 2026. Despite the turbulent global geopolitical landscape, property demand in this port city shows remarkable resilience with record-breaking transaction achievements.

Property Transaction Momentum Surges 90% in the First Two Months

Latest data from Ming Pao shows impressive significant growth. In January 2026, the property market recorded 2,460 first-hand transactions, followed by 1,420 transactions in February. The total for these two months reached 3,880 units, surpassing the same period last year, which had only 2,005 transactions—meaning Hong Kong’s property market grew over 90% year-over-year.

This growth reflects high buyer confidence in Hong Kong’s property prospects, indicating that the market remains a reliable investment destination for both domestic and international investors. The high transaction speed indicates a healthy market absorption and sustained buyer interest.

Premium Project DEEP WATER SOUTH Gains Market Attention

Along with this positive momentum, several major property developers are ready to launch their flagship projects this week. The main focus is the collaboration between Wheelock Properties and MTR Corporation for the mega project DEEP WATER SOUTH in Wong Chuk Hang. This project has attracted overwhelming enthusiasm from prospective buyers.

The exhibition hall opened at Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui, has been visited by over 2,000 visitors in the past two days. This warm market response shows that Hong Kong’s property market remains very vibrant in welcoming offers of high-quality exclusive units. Phase 6B of DEEP WATER SOUTH will soon announce pricing details, scheduled in the near future.

Property Market Remains Resilient Amid Global Uncertainty

Hong Kong’s property market resilience amid international tensions indicates the city’s fundamental stability. Although recent airstrikes in the Middle East have added uncertainty to the global geopolitical stage, the local property sector continues to perform solidly without significant fluctuations.

This momentum suggests that Hong Kong’s property market has proven resilient to external shocks, supported by strong demand from middle to upper-class investors and active property speculators. Continued growth in transactions and new project enthusiasm are positive indicators for the stability of the property market in the coming quarters.
