Citibank poll shows Hongkongers less optimistic about home price rises, points to downward adjustment

Citi Residential Property Ownership Survey finds that the number of people expecting property prices to rise fell to 38 per cent in the third quarter from 54 per cent in the previous three-month period

Drop in property prices a ‘very minor adjustment’, property agent says, expects prices to rise by 5 per cent next year

Hong Kong home prices might see a downward adjustment after peaking in August, as fewer Hongkongers remained optimistic about price rises in the coming year, Citibank said on Thursday.

A survey conducted by the bank found that the number of people who expected property prices to rise further had fallen to 38 per cent in the third quarter from 54 per cent in the previous three-month period. The figure was, however, still higher than previous year’s result of 23 per cent in the same period.

“For the overall housing market, we expect home prices to have peaked in 2021 August, and [it] is potentially subject to a 7 to 10 per cent downside until 2022 June,” said Josephine Lee, head of retail banking at Citi Hong Kong, adding that factors such as front-loaded future demand, stock market corrections that affect home buying sentiment and policy risk concerns were to blame.

The Citi Residential Property Ownership Survey has been running since 2010 and a random sample of more than 500 Hong Kong respondents was polled for it by the University of Hong Kong Social Sciences Research Centre in September.

The drop in the third quarter was down to prospective homeowners entering the market earlier in the first half of 2021, Lee said. This was due to buyers being optimistic about an economic recovery in Hong Kong, as well as a relative easing in the city’s Covid-19 outbreak, she added. “This leads to the housing market being more quiet for the next 12 months. So in this quarter, it is reasonable for less respondents to expect the property price to rise ,” she said.

The Hong Kong property market remained supported by positive structural factors, including a shortage of housing supply and long-term economic growth upon the reopening of the border with mainland China, Lee added.

“Looking at the overall drop [ in property prices], this a very minor adjustment,” a property agent said on the other hand. Housing prices had, in fact, peaked during July according to government data, he added, and August and September had seen a combined fall of about 0.5 per cent.

Previous peaks in Hong Kong’s housing prices in 2018 and 2019 were followed by adjustment periods of six to nine months, where they coincided with different events, the agent added.

“In 2018, there was the trade war between the United States and China. In 2019, there was the social unrest [in Hong Kong],” the agent said. “In this year’s adjustment period, we don’t see the emergence of any similar unfavourable conditions, so the adjustment period will be relatively shorter.”

If the reopening of the border with China proceeds as planned, and no other unfavourable conditions appear, housing prices will rise by 5 per cent next year, the agent said.

Elsewhere, the city’s overall property transactions, including those of residential, commercial and industrial properties, as well as parking spaces, fell to a nine-month low of 6,250 in October, according to the latest Land Registry data. Transactions were down 15.5 per cent month on month compared with the 7,400 deals recorded in September. A total of 6,212 deals were concluded in January this year.

Hong Kong’s lived-in home prices, meanwhile, fell by 0.4 per cent to 396.3 in September, according to a government index published last month. It was their steepest fall since October 2020, when it retreated by 0.5 per cent, according to the property agency.

銅鑼灣波斯富街 大手成交頻現

銅鑼灣為零售核心地段,物業價值高,財團及投資者近日加快收購,以及大手購入物業,作長綫投資。

近月銅鑼灣整體交投增加,並集中波斯富街,其中銅鑼灣利園山道23、25號 (部分)、波斯富街72號及波斯富街74號 (前段) 的4間地舖,及16個分布於同廈1至5樓的住宅單位,早前進行招標。資料顯示,該批單位近日以12.8億元沽出。據了解,是次涉及樓面合共約1.2萬平方呎,當中涉及4地舖,而舖位價值甚高,整批物業收購呎價約10.7萬元。

翻查資料,利園山道23號地舖業主為投資者張實來等人,而另一間波斯富街72號地舖則由英記茶莊陳樹源、陳根源等持有。

新世界12.8 收購舊樓

據了解,利園山道5至27號、波斯富街54至76號,以及羅素街60號的舊樓群,佔地約2萬平方呎地盤,可重建成30萬平方呎樓面。面積龐大重建價值極高,早在2013年獲財團「插旗」收購,但同時亦有多批投資者、發展商「落釘」,形成收購戰。

據了解,是次項目由新世界 (00017) 或有關人士購入。集團本身已擁有逾6成業權,如今以12.8億元購入該批單位,取得關鍵的兩成業權後,估計已成功收購逾8成業權,換言之,已達8成強拍門檻,可望加快收購進度。

另外,今年亦有投資者購入波斯富街舖位,其中波斯富街21至27號本德大廈地下A至D號舖至2樓,以5.25億元成交,該舖面積約1.38萬平方呎,為區內罕有舖位放售。此外,物業具收購價值,樓齡達57年,整批舖位佔大廈業權逾16%。原業主是被稱為「大坑舖王」的周炳權家族,部分舖位早於50年前已購入。新買家為耀才證券葉茂林,購入作長綫投資。

寶富大廈地舖 6000萬沽

另銅鑼灣波斯富街84至94號寶富大廈地下,面積約800平方呎,以約6,000萬元易手,呎價約7.5萬元,舖位以交吉交易。舖位早前由連鎖西餅店以約16萬元承租,上月租約屆滿遷出。據了解,原業主早於1983年以205萬元購入,持貨38年轉手,獲利約5,795萬元,升值約28倍。

分析指,銅鑼灣波斯富街為區內核心地段,連接羅素街、軒尼詩道等人流暢旺街道,商舖價值甚高。近兩年受疫情影響,「零」遊客下整體商舖租售價回落,投資者看好通關後,物業價格回升,故趁機入市。此外,亦有財團加快收購,部署日後重建,故近日地段買賣活動明顯增加。

實體需求減 銀行沽自用舖

疫情之下,除了使不同行業變成贏家或輸家外,亦間接推動金融科技發展,結果市場對實體銀行需求減少,引發一波銀行分行自用舖位沽售潮。由疫情爆發至今,市場合共錄得9宗銀行沽舖個案,涉及6間銀行機構,總值約12.16億元。

上述9宗銀行沽貨個案中,有6宗在今年內錄得,最矚目為花旗銀行在中環經營近39年、原作自用的畢打街20號會德豐大廈地下A舖、地庫及外牆複式舖位,以7.1億元高價轉售予有「台灣張」之稱的資深投資者張彥緒。此舖是唯一連銀行租約出售的買賣,花旗銀行簽訂25年特長租約,當中包括10年為「死約」,因此吸引投資者動用巨額資金入市。花旗銀行在2004年12月以約3.9億元購入舖位,沽出賬面大賺3.2億元,升值82.1%。

東亞屯門舖升值12倍最勁

至於東亞銀行、華僑永亨銀行及富邦銀行,也各自賣出兩個舖位,成為出貨最多的銀行,全部舖位皆曾自用作分行,結業後交吉出售。

其中,東亞銀行套現金額最多,先後賣出屯門及深水埗的舖位,總值約1.75億元,包括以1.4億元沽出屯門雅都花園商場地下3個舖位,相較1987年買入價1073.2萬元,持貨34年賬面勁賺逾1.29億元,升值12倍,賺幅為去年至今各銀行沽貨之冠。
