Southeast Asia Information Port (www.dnyxxg.com) – The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government's Rating and Valuation Department announced on the 27th that the Hong Kong Private Residential Property Price Index for July 2025 was 287.9 points, an increase of approximately 0.42% from the previous month, marking the fourth consecutive month of increase.
Hou Zhigang, Senior Director and Head of Financial Valuation at Colliers Valuation and Advisory Services, stated that the July property market was driven by stamp duty policies and developers' efforts to reduce inventory. Simultaneously, with the rental market entering its peak summer season, the rental index continued to rise, offering attractive returns. Some tenants opted to "convert from renting to buying," leading to signs of a recovery in the property market and stabilizing prices.
Regarding rents, the private residential rental index for July was 196.3 points, an increase of 0.56% from the previous month, marking the eighth consecutive month of increase.
Hou Zhigang analyzed that the continued upward trend in rents is mainly driven by various talent schemes, and has now reached its highest level in the past five years. Future rent trends will depend on how the SAR government's policies promote "converting from renting to buying," macroeconomic development, and interest rate trends.
Ricacorp Properties Research Director Chan Hoi-chiu stated that the Hong Kong property market is showing signs of improvement, and property prices are expected to continue rising. (End)
