HONG KONG – Private home prices in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region were largely flat ​in August, stabilizing after the ‌first fall in 16 months in July, data from the Rating and Valuation ​Department showed on Monday.

The private home ​price index edged up 0.06 percent in ⁠August, following July's revised monthly ​decline of 0.8 percent.

July's decline was the ​first since March 2025 after prices gained around 13 percent.

Prices have risen 7 percent ‌in ⁠the first seven months of the year.

The HKSAR's property market has been ​supported by ​positive ⁠market sentiment, buoyant stock markets, firm demand from a ​growing number of Chinese mainland ​professionals ⁠and an easing oversupply.

Residential prices in the Asian financial hub posted their first ⁠increase ​last year after ​tumbling nearly 30 percent from their peak in 2021.
