Hong Kong’s weekend home sales post mixed results as buyers are spoilt for choice amid 14 per cent increase in property supply
New
World Development sold 79 of the 85 flats on offer at The Pavilia Farm
project in Tai Wai, even as the average price rose 24 per cent from May
At Cheung Sha Wan, CK Asset Holdings found buyers for 14 of the last remaining 103 apartments at Seaside Sonata
Hong
Kong’s weekend property sales were mixed, as buyers snapped up the
apartments on offer at a new development in Tai Wai but gave their
collective cold shoulder to leftover flats from a 20-month project in
Cheung Sha Wan.
New
World Development sold 79 of the 85 flats on offer at The Pavilia Farm
project in Tai Wai, even as the average price of the units on offer had
risen by 24 per cent to HK$24,858 per square foot, compared with the
launch price in late May.
At Cheung Sha Wan, CK Asset Holdings managed to find buyers for 14 of the last remaining 103 apartments at the Seaside Sonata project left over from their October 2019 launch, according to property agency.
“Buyers are waiting for new projects, for example the One Victoria in Kai Tak,” agent said.
A
long queue was seen at China Overseas Land and Investment’s showroom in
Kowloon Bay on Saturday, where 1,300 prospective buyers had registered
for the 212 flats of One Victoria since the registration began on Friday. The project comprises 1,059 flats.
The
stark contrast between the two sales underscores how Hong Kong’s
property buyers are becoming more selective in making long-term
financial commitments, as 36,919 new abodes are expected to be launched
in 2021, 14.3 per cent more than last year’s supply, according to
another property agency.
Hong
Kong’s economy is on the mend, recovering from several quarters of
recession brought on by the social unrest and the coronavirus pandemic.
The city’s economy expanded by 7.9 per cent in the first quarter, the
most in 11 years, while new home sales are rising at the fastest pace in
two years.
“Given
high property prices, very low interest rates but an improving economy,
we expect gradual property price increases in line with household
income growth for the residential market,” Goldman Sachs analyst Gurpeet
Singh Sahi wrote in a June 6 report, adding that it expects Hong Kong’s
home prices to rise by 5 per cent in 2021. “[An] easing of
Covid-19-related border restrictions between Hong Kong and mainland
China would benefit the sale of luxury residential flats.”
Residential
property transactions surged by about 35 per cent in the first half of
this year – the highest level since the second half of 2012 – to more
than 38,500 deals, according to Midland. Transaction volume also
skyrocketed by about half to about HK$366 billion (US$47.2 billion), the
highest level since the first half of 1997.
New
World has reported several sell-out weekends at The Pavilia Farm III,
selling 833 flats out of 892 units on offer as of last Saturday, with
HK$12.1 billion in total revenue since June 5.
“The
residential market is entering a robust mode,” agent said. “Not only
were new flats sought after by homebuyers, but also lived-in homes with
higher asking prices.”
The
prices of lived-in homes released by the Rating and Valuation
Department extended a four-month rally in April and were within about
1.5 per cent of a historic high recorded in May 2019, before the
anti-government protests kicked off.
“We
may see it smash the record as soon as the authority released the data
for May on Monday; otherwise, it will for sure set a record by the end
of June,” agent said, expecting another up to 8 per cent increase in
lived-in home price in the second half.

17中港財團搶粉嶺住宅地 群雄紛入標角逐 佳兆業：地皮位置優越
政府銳意發展新界東北，區內古洞北地皮月前以天價成交，令昨日截標的粉嶺粉錦公路住宅地備受矚目，共截收17份標書，多於市場預期，吸引本地及內房群起競逐。業內人士預期，地皮可建逾28萬方呎，市場估值達18.5億至21.5億，成交價將對區內地皮有指標作用。
位於粉錦公路與青山公路─古洞段交界的住宅地昨日截標，地政總署公布，共截收17份標書。在遞交標書現場所見，表明獨資競投包括佳兆業、長實、恒基、會德豐地產、華懋、嘉里、建灝、英皇、漢國、永泰及其士，另新地及九建亦有入標，而信和則夥拍招商局置地及爪哇合組財團競投。
瞄準新界東北潛力
佳兆業資本市場部、傳媒及投資者關係部總經理助理杜晴表示，是次為獨資入標，出價合理及具競爭力，有信心投得地皮，認為地皮位置及景觀均屬優質，看好區內發展前景。
英皇國際物業經理蔡宏基表示，政府大力發展新界東北，看好其未來前景。入標價參考近日一手市況及鄰近地區二手住宅成交價，地皮鄰近粉嶺高爾夫球場，落成後可享開揚景觀，以中小型單位為主，亦會有少量洋房。此外，亦有意競投下月截標的古洞24區地。
建灝地產行政經理林綺華表示，現時住宅需求大，雖然區內目前交通配套不足，依然值得長遠投資發展，預料興建中小型單位。漢國地產策劃董事李振彪表示，早前政府推出地皮面積太大，是次面積較為適合故出手，並非刻意選擇該地區，而是相信未來整體住宅需求大。
業界：標數多於預期
有測量師表示，最初估計有10份標書，是次標數多於預期，相信是因為有新地以高價投得區內首塊地皮，對市場有正面作用，增加其他發展商的投資信心。另一測量師表示，招標反應踴躍，反映發展商現時更為看好新界東北的未來發展。而由於地盤面積比首幅住宅地小，因此可見大部分財團均以獨資發展，而非合組財團。
市值18.5億至21.5億
綜合市場估值，項目估價18.5億至21.5億，樓面呎價6500至7600元，有機會打破古洞北新發展區內首幅住宅地的紀錄。新地於4月尾高價約86億投得該地，樓面呎價7183元成交，反映區內發展潛力。

市建庇利街項目截收36份意向
市建局旗下土瓜灣庇利街/榮光街發展項目，於昨日截收發展意向書。局方發言人稱，共接獲36份意向。是次遞交意向財團包括恒基、新地、華懋、南豐、佳兆業、中國海外、鷹君、英皇國際、招商局置地、遠東發展、旭輝及爪哇等。
佳兆業資本市場部、傳媒及投資者關係部總經理助理杜晴稱，項目規模較大，鄰近鐵路站，而且屯馬綫通車在即，看好區內發展潛力，亦看好本港未來樓市發展，集團對不同類型地皮都感興趣。
項目估值逾百億
英皇國際物業經理蔡宏基表示，是次屬罕有大規模項目，且交通便利，而本港對市區地皮有剛性需求，吸引集團遞交意向書。
有測量師預計。地皮估值近107.6億，樓面呎價約1.5萬。
