"Hong Kong residential leasing market demonstrated robust performance in the first quarter of 2025, extending its upward trend over the past five months with quarter-to-date increase of 0.94% and a notable year-on-year increase of 3.64%. This growth is primarily driven by strong demand from Asian professionals and returning expatriates, particularly tenants from Mainland China, Singapore, India, and Europe. Tight supply of high-quality rental properties, coupled with the approaching peak season, has further pushed rental prices upward. The market has seen several high-profile transactions, including luxury leases a house in Southside and Mount Nicholson, reflecting strong demand in the high-end segment. Meanwhile, cost-effective areas such as Nam Cheong and Kai Tak are attracting young families and professionals. With the traditional leasing peak season from May to August approaching and the "Top Talent Pass Scheme" continuing to draw talent to Hong Kong, Savills forecasts a full-year rental growth of approximately 5% in 2025, with optimistic market prospects.
