Mainlanders buy 14,000 homes in Hong Kong last year, up 20pc, Centaline says

Mainlanders purchased nearly 14,000 homes in Hong Kong last year, up by 20 percent from a year earlier, according to Centaline Property Agency. 

The figure accounted for nearly one-fourth of the city’s total private home transaction number in 2025, the property agency said, adding that it expects the number to hit 15,000 this year. 

Mainland buyers invested a total of HK$141 billion in the local residential property market last year, representing an 8 percent year-on-year rise, Centaline said.

The buyers were identified as mainlanders by Centaline based on the use of Putonghua pinyin names registered in Land Registry records.
