Hong Kong home prices fall 1.30% in four weeks to November 2026
Hong Kong second-hand home prices fell for a fourth straight week to a 20-week low, taking entry prices 1.30% lower in a month and 1.88% below the 2026 high.
The facts
- Centaline Property's Centa-City Leading Index, which tracks second-hand private homes in Hong Kong, read 159.11 points in the edition published on 6 November 2026, down 0.17% on the week.
- The index has fallen four weeks in a row, a cumulative -1.30%, and now sits 1.88% below its high for this year.
- Centaline calls the level a 20-week low, the weakest since mid-June 2026.
- The two preceding readings were 159.38 points on 30 October, down 0.33% and a 15-week low at the time, and 159.91 points on 23 October, down 0.09% and an 11-week low at the time.
- Companion readings the same day were 159.67 points for large units and 159 points for small and medium units; the index is based on 100 for the first week of July 1997.
- The figure covers contracts expected to be formally signed between 26 October and 1 November 2026, so it trails the market by about two weeks.
What it means for your money
- Entry prices are easing week by week, yet Glopra data still puts Hong Kong 10.98% above a year ago. Cheaper, not cheap.
- Glopra's latest Hong Kong snapshot shows 17,514.6 USD per square metre and rent of 53.27 USD per square metre a month, a gross yield of 3.6%, so rental income does little to carry a position while prices slide.
- An owner already holding is looking at paper value rather than realised loss, but four weekly declines and a 1.88% gap to the year's high point to thinning resale pricing power on mass-market estates.
What to watch
- Centaline publishes the index every Friday, so the next reading lands on 13 November 2026.
- Whether the fall broadens. The dashboard prints the Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Territories sub-indices without a plus or minus sign, so their direction cannot be read from it.
- Because the index reflects contracts signed roughly two weeks earlier, anything that happens in November will not appear in it until late in the month.
