Hong Kong's Land Registry reported on October 5, 2026 that it received 6,438 sale and purchase agreements for all building units for registration in September 2026. That was 11.6 per cent higher than in August 2026 but 6.3 per cent lower than in September 2025. The 12-month moving average for September was 7,682, 0.5 per cent below the August 2026 figure but 20.6 per cent above that for September 2025.

Total consideration for the sale and purchase agreements was $53.5 billion, up 20.1 per cent from August 2026 and 0.01 per cent from September 2025. Residential units accounted for 4,761 of the agreements, 18.5 per cent more than in August 2026 but 15.6 per cent fewer than in September 2025. Consideration for residential agreements was $46.8 billion, up 29.3 per cent month on month but down 0.9 per cent year on year.

The residential figures exclude agreements for units sold under schemes such as the Home Ownership Scheme, the Private Sector Participation Scheme and the Tenants Purchase Scheme unless the premium has been paid after the sale restriction period. Because deeds may be lodged up to 30 days after a transaction, the statistics generally relate to transactions in the previous month, the registry said. Public searches of land registers numbered 463,031 in September, down 73.5 per cent from August 2026 but up 15.4 per cent from September 2025.
