Lee Ka Court: In September, 462 commercial and commercial transactions in Hong Kong recorded a year-on-month increase of 13.5%

The Zhitong Finance App learned that Huang Yingnian, director of Lijia Court (Commercial Store) Real Estate, said that the overall sales registration of Hong Kong commercial and commercial stores showed upward momentum in September after experiencing an earlier summer off-season and continued consolidation. According to preliminary provisional figures from the Hong Kong Land Registry, Hong Kong recorded a total of 462 commercial property transactions in September 2026, up 13.5% from 407 in August. It successfully stopped falling and rebounded, and hit the 3rd highest level in the year. As for the total registered value of HK$4.734 billion during the month, there was a slight decrease of 2.0% from the previous month, showing a trend of “volume increase and price decline slightly”. Property performance in the three major categories was divided in September. Industrial buildings and store registrations both rebounded. Among them, industrial buildings recorded the most significant increase of nearly 43%; commercial buildings declined due to high-ranking consolidation.

In terms of commercial building sales, Huang Yingnian pointed out that the commercial building market showed a revival and consolidation after being hovered at a high level for many months. In September of this year, 113 commercial building transactions were recorded, down 16.9% from 136 in August. It fell 2 months in a row, and hit a new low of nearly 3 months; the proportion of commercial building transactions during the month was 24.5%. In terms of total trading registration value, HK$2,088 billion was recorded in September, a corresponding decrease of 20.2% over the previous month. It also fell 2 months in a row and hit the lowest level in nearly 4 months, mainly due to the lack of centralized registration support for large new listings during the month, as in previous months.

Zhu Liangheng, senior sales director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of Lijia Court (Commercial and Commercial Store) Real Estate, said that industrial building sales rebounded markedly after leaving the summer off-season, returning to the level of more than 200 cases. According to the data, 244 industrial building transactions were recorded in September, up 42.7% from 171 in August, and rebounded strongly after 2 months of continuous decline, hitting a new high in nearly 3 months; during the month, the share of industrial buildings registered as a share of total industrial and commercial stores rebounded to 52.8%, an increase of 10.8 percentage points from 42% in August. However, driven by a lack of large transactions, the total registered value of industrial buildings recorded HK$1,095 billion in September, down 16.9% from the previous month, falling for 2 consecutive months and the lowest in nearly 4 months; the average price of each industrial building fell to about HK$4.488 million during the month.

In terms of store performance, Zheng Deming, senior sales director of Lijia Court (Commercial and Commercial) Real Estate - Retail, Commerce and Investment Department, pointed out that store sales registration has regained its upward trajectory and continues to be narrowly consolidated at the 100 level. According to the data, as summer travel factors subsided and transactions picked up, a total of 105 store sales registrations were recorded in September this year, up 5.0% from 100 in August. It remained stable at the 100 level for 3 consecutive months, a high in nearly 4 months. In addition, during the month, driven by transactions at some medium- and high-priced stores, the total registered value of stores surged 72.5% at a low base, hitting the HK$1 billion mark and recording HK$1,551 billion, also the highest in nearly 4 months.
