Hong Kong's
private home prices fell for the 10th month in a row last month to the
lowest level in nearly seven-and-a-half years, data from the Rating and
Valuation Department showed.
The
residential property price index fell 1.7 percent to 302.5 in February
from the previous month, the lowest since September 2016.
This came after a 1.2 percent decline in January.
However, the February index reflected the market ahead of the government's easing of housing curbs.
Prices
of small and medium-sized flats slipped by 1.65 percent month-on-month
in February, among which the value of flats under 40 square meters lost
1.66 percent, while those for homes between 40 and 69.9 sq m slid 1.8
percent. Homes from 70 to 99.9 sq m also saw their value drop by 1
percent.
Prices of flats above 100 sq m shrank 1.3 percent during the month.
Meanwhile, the rental index edged down 0.1 percent, declining for two consecutive months.
The March index will likely stabilize or even rise slightly thanks to policy support, a property agent said.
In late February, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po scrapped all stamp duties to revive a weakening property market.
Another
property agency, however, remains cautious, maintaining its forecast of
an L-shaped trend in housing markets, decreasing in the first half and
stabilizing in the second half, with a full-year decline of up to 5
percent.
Meanwhile, developers continued to roll out new projects.
Seasons
Place in Lohas Park, which launches sales of its remaining 282 flats
today, saw the batch over 40 times oversubscribed after receiving 11,780
checks, according to the developer Wheelock Properties.
CK
Asset (1113) is expected to release the first price list for its new
project Blue Coast atop Wong Chuk Hang MTR Station within 48 hours after
receiving 1,200 enquiries.
And luxury residential complex One Stanley, developed by K&K Property, will open show flats for public viewing on Friday.
Separately, Haven Court in Causeway Bay, will be auctioned next month at a reserve price of HK$2.43 billion.

尖沙咀彌敦道地舖月租22萬 平均呎租200元時裝店進駐
核心區舖受捧，尖沙咀彌敦道一個地舖，以每月22萬租出，新租客為走大眾化的時裝店，平均呎租200元，較對上的短租租金升逾1倍，不過仍較疫市前跌56%。
尖沙咀彌敦道32至34號帝國酒店地下A舖，建築面積1100方呎，早年先後由奢侈品牌進駐，交吉之後，去年10月錄利是封店短租，市場消息透露，該舖位剛由時裝店承租，月租22萬，平均呎租200元。
消息指，新租客為時裝店，並以走大眾化路線的BELIEVE時裝呼聲最高，簽下3年約，雖然長租與短租不能作直接比較，不過，新租金較短租上升逾1倍。
租金較疫市前跌56%
該舖位對上的長租客為正大鐘錶，2018年間進駐，月租50萬，直至疫市期間遷出，最新租金較疫市前跌56%。於舖市高峰期，該舖租客為名表PATEK PHILIPPE，月租高達90萬，最新租金較高峰期跌76%。
高峰期月租90萬
尖沙咀彌敦道早於疫情期間吉舖處處，去年與內地通關以來，一口氣錄多個舖位承租，率先租出的是重慶大廈及周邊的多個舖位，然後，美麗都大廈一帶亦先後獲承接，租客以藥妝店居多，其次為零售店，亦有部分珠寶金行，目前該地段吉舖寥寥可數。
數矚目租賃亦包括珠寶店，去年11月，THE ONE商場地下舖位，面積約1500方呎，獲周生生預租，呎租約300元，該舖位於彌敦道中心段，正對栢麗購物大道，舖位接近商場入口，人流旺。另外，去年中，美麗都大廈地下G12號連1、2樓，位處加拿分道單邊，由福泰珠寶以每月30萬承租，上手長租客謝瑞麟珠寶金行，疫情前撤出。福泰向來於深水埗、荃灣等民生區經營，首次進駐核心街道。
