Morgan Stanley upgrades Hong Kong home‑price outlook, expects market ripple effect

Morgan Stanley raised its forecast for Hong Kong residential property prices to a 12 % rise in 2026, with an additional 5 % gain expected in 2027, citing strong demand and improving investor sentiment. The firm predicts the residential upturn will spill over into the struggling office and retail sectors, spurring a broader market recovery. Analysts note that higher home prices should boost transaction volumes and revitalize commercial real‑estate activity.
