Subsidised flat schemes set for 2026
The Housing Authority today said it will start inviting applications for the Sale of Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) Flats 2025, the Sale of Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme (GSH) Flats 2025 and the White Form Secondary Market Scheme (WSM) 2025 together in the second quarter of 2026.
The HOS 2025 and the GSH 2025 offer a total of over 9,700 new flats, while the WSM 2025 offers 7,000 quotas.
Flats for sale under the HOS 2025 include a total of over 8,300 flats in five new HOS developments in Kai Tak, Kam Tin, Tseung Kwan O, Ping Shan, and Tung Chung, with saleable areas ranging from about 26.1 sq m to about 52 sq m. Larger flats, with saleable areas ranging from about 41.2 sq m to about 52 sq m, will account for about a quarter of the total number of flats.
Flats for sale under the GSH 2025 include over 1,400 new flats from a new GSH development in Kowloon Bay, with saleable areas ranging from about 26 sq m to about 43.6 sq m. Larger flats, with saleable areas ranging from about 41.5 sq m to about 43.6 sq m, will account for about a quarter of the total number of flats.
Moreover, a new batch of recovered Tenants Purchase Scheme flats will also be offered for sale under the GSH 2025.
The selling prices of flats in the five new HOS developments range from about $1.5 million to about $4.8 million, a 30% discount from the assessed market values.
The selling prices of flats in the new GSH development range from about $1.68 million to about $3.54 million, a 40% discount from the assessed market values.
The authority has also reviewed the White Form income and asset limits with reference to the existing mechanism.
For White Form family applicants of the HOS 2025 and the WSM 2025, the income limit will be maintained at the same level of $60,000 per month as the HOS 2024 and the WSM 2024.
While the asset limit for White Form applicants should be slightly adjusted downwards to $1,220,000 according to the existing mechanism, the authority considers that it would be appropriate to provide applicants with a buffer and maintain the asset limits for WF family applicants and one-person applicants at the same level of $1,230,000 and $615,000 respectively as the HOS 2024 and the WSM 2024.
Regarding long‑term accommodation support for those affected by the fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, the authority noted that the Government will conduct a comprehensive collection of residents' views, carry out an analysis and formulate long‑term plans to help the affected families rebuild their homes.
The authority said it will exercise the utmost flexibility and will fully and proactively support the Government in taking forward the relevant initiatives.
