Price cuts, lull in new sales fail to lift secondary market


Hong Kong's secondary homes market saw just eight deals at 10 major housing estates over the weekend even though there were no large-scale sales of new projects and homeowners were more willing to cut prices.

Sales in as many as seven blue-chip estates remained at zero with Kingswood Villas in Tin Shui Wai recording four transactions, City One Shatin notching up three and Taikoo Shing one deal, according to a property agency.

The previous weekend had seen just one deal, when Typhoon Chaba hit the territory and kept buyers at home, agent said.

There were just a few previously unsold new homes on the market over the weekend except for The Vim in Sham Shui Po and though sales were limited, developers were seen gearing up for future sales.

Villa Garda II, phase 11C of Lohas Park in Tseung Kwan O unveiled the first price list, offering 138 flats at an average price of HK$18,378 per square foot after discounts.

The price is 2.7 percent higher than the first batch of Villa Garda I but cheaper than the last few batches of the first phase.

The list includes 28 one-bedroom, 101 two-bedroom and nine three-bedroom units. The cheapest home - a 339-sq-ft flat with one bedroom - costs HK$6.37 million, or HK$18,787 per sq ft.

The 644-flat project is jointly developed by Sino Land (0083), K Wah International (0173) and China Merchants Land (0978).

The developers said more batches will be released soon and the sales arrangement will also be announced shortly.

Meanwhile, The Vim sold at least 20 out of 50 flats on offer.

The project is developed Carrianna Group's (0126) property unit with Choice Holdings and the developers had received 200 checks for the first round of sales, making the batch three times oversubscribed.

The homes, which range from 199 to 289 sq ft, are priced from HK$3.46 million to HK$5.87 million after discounts.

上月錄約444宗工商鋪買賣 代理行:運頭塘商場13.6億矚目

第五波疫情高峰期退去,投資者重返市場,有代理行統計,6月份共錄約444宗工商鋪買賣,對比5月份微增約一成,連續第4個月上升,其中,以大埔運頭塘商場13.6億最矚目。

該行代理認為,第五波疫情逐漸緩和,振興經濟為當前急務,加上特首李家超剛上場,定必有連串新措施及政策出爐,相信對經濟有所刺激。

工商鋪按月升約10%

該代理表示,該行數據顯示,6月份共錄約444宗工商鋪買賣,對比5月份增多約101%,同時自今年3月起連續第4個月錄4點升幅,金額錄約79.11億,按月遞減約29%,主因6月份欠缺較大額買賣,6月份最大宗買賣為華創建投以約13.6億向資深投資者林子峰購入大埔運頭塘商場。

該代理指,工廈相對較為突出,6月份共錄約288宗,較5月上升約17%,佔總成交宗數逾60%,足見工廈自用投資價值受肯定,6月商鋪約99宗買賣,與上月相若,金額由28.25億上升至約38.26億,反映6月份鋪位大額成交增多。商廈表現持續疲弱,宗數低位徘徊,全月僅錄約57宗買賣,按月微跌兩宗,金額亦由約14.37億減少至約10.02億。

商廈6月微跌兩宗

該代理相信,第三季工商鋪買賣仍以工業物業牽頭,呎價低水,加上用途多元化,預料持續受捧。同時,暑假將至,加上第二輪消費券推出,料為鋪市帶來正面推動力。寫字樓則仍取決於中港通關問題,觀望氣氛持續濃厚,料繼續淡靜。

市建局西營盤崇慶里今截標

市建局相隔逾5年再推出西營盤崇慶里/桂香街發展項目,並於今日截標,市場估值約13.8億至16.1億,每呎樓面地價約1.5萬至1.7萬。業內人士指,市場對同區住宅地供應渴求,料掀各路財團競逐。

有測量師表示,該項目地理位置優越,屬市區罕有新供應;由於項目地盤面積較細,涉及投資額不大,相信會受市場歡迎,料掀各大中小財團競投,估計可截獲15至18份標書。綜合市場估值約13.8億至16.1億,每方呎樓面地價約1.5萬至1.7萬。

市場估值約13.8億至16.1

另一測量師說,港島地皮罕有,無論市建局或政府賣地表地皮新供應短缺,而且早前批出的灣仔地皮市場反映理想,料會吸引不少財團入標。

港島區住宅地供應渴市,今年5月截收34份意向書的西營盤崇慶里 / 桂香街發展項目,位於崇慶里1至7號、桂香街12至16號及德輔道西216至218號,鄰近私樓薈,距離港鐵西營盤站其中一個出口僅2分鐘步程;地盤面積約1.16萬方呎,可建總樓面約9.48萬方呎,當中包括約4306方呎的商業樓面。

據悉售樓收益達30億須與市建局分紅,達標後首5000萬分紅兩成,其後收益每5000萬增加一成,最多五成,以總樓面約9.48萬方呎計,每方呎售價逾3.16萬便需要分紅。發展商需向市建局自行提出「一口價」,價高者得作勝負關鍵。

下半年投資焦點 看好工廈酒店

代理:整體成交額500 升約6

上半年投資市場受疫情影響,有外資代理行相信,疫情因素漸淡化,加息或令基金入市轉審慎,但整體資金仍充裕,交投可望回升,並看好工廈及酒店兩範疇。

據該行數字,今年第二季共有160億元的大額商業物業轉手 (成交金額逾7,700萬元),按季上升17.5%,與去年同期比較則跌約42.4%。2022年上半年的投資額迄今放緩至296億元,僅佔去年全年總額的37%。

該行代理分析,上半年成交較去年差,主因首季第5波疫情爆發,而第二季已顯好轉,「今年有3個月受疫情衝擊,實際處理買賣僅得3個月,仍有296億元買賣,並不算差。」

料其他資金入市比例增

資金方面,房地產基金依然活躍,第二季涉及31億元買賣,其中19%涉及收購兩工廈及兩酒店。代理認為,近日漸見本地家族入市,而息口料向上,對基金入市阻礙較大,「息口對基金計數會較審慎,因此預計下半年其他資金入市比例料提升。」該代理預計,今年全年成交金額近800億元,下半年涉約500億元,較上半年升約6成。

投資市場一大關注為息口走勢,該代理認為,無疑加息會影響物業租金回報,故租金表現穩定的物業值得睇好。其中,工廈市場成近兩年熱選,今年強勢保持。上半年工廈總投資額達70億元,佔季度總投資額的44%。上半年最大手買賣,來自華潤物流以46.2億元,向嘉里 (00683) 購入火炭及柴灣兩貨倉項目。至於單一最大額買賣,為美基金Nuveen購入葵涌集運中心全幢工廈,涉約29億元。兩宗大手成交均來自工廈。該代理分析,「工廈空置率低於2%,而租金上半年升8%,對投資者來說,投資風險低,日後沽貨亦較易,相信下半年續受捧。」

至於過往較少投資者留意的酒店,上半年10大成交,5宗涉及酒店或全幢服務式住宅,代理認為因酒店業主在連番疫情下,無奈要放盤,「長期無旅客,業主要為酒店轉型,一是轉檢疫酒店,或共居用途,意味投資翻新或轉型。另一選擇是放售,很多業主或寧選擇放售,故放盤增加,促成投資者入市。」他指,因酒店既可作本地住宿用途,亦可在等待日後旅遊業好轉,下半年是投資另一焦點。
