Blue Coast to kick off sales as buyers clamor for new homes


New homes in Hong Kong continued to remain in demand following the removal of all stamp duties a little over a month ago, with CK Asset (1113) collecting 24,000 checks for its Blue Coast project at The Southside in Wong Chuk Hang.

Wheelock Properties and Henderson Land (0012) meanwhile revealed they had notched up home sales worth HK$9.1 billion and HK$8.3 billion respectively so far this year.

The 24,000 checks received for Blue Coast near Wong Chuk Hang MTR station made the first batch of 442 flats nearly 56 times oversubscribed.

The developer will launch sales for the first batch tomorrow and may hike prices by as much as 10 percent for some flats on future price lists.

CK Asset's chief sales manager William Kwok Tze-wai said that even if the prices are hiked by 5 to 10 percent, the company would still be at the losing end.

Prices for the first list for 138 units were HK$21,968 per square foot on average after discounts, the lowest among all completed projects in the neighborhood, while prices for third price list were up to 1.7 percent higher than the first list.

Kwok said demand was dominated by local buyers, with mainlanders accounted for about 30 percent of interested buyers.

The four-bedroom flats on higher floors may be put up for sale by tender in the second round of sales.

Meanwhile, Henderson Land and Wheelock Properties have fared very well in the primary market for first quarter of the year.

Henderson Land has earned more than HK$8.3 billion this year and ranks first in terms of deals with 1,227 transactions.

Wheelock Properties meanwhile achieved the most revenue with sales of nearly HK$9.1 billion from 815 transactions.

In other news, The Knightsbridge in Kai Tak, developed by Henderson Land (0012) and other five companies, has sold 19 flats and raked in HK$760 million since the removal of all property curbs on February 28.

And Wetland Seasons Bay phase 3 in Tin Shui Wai has put another batch of 52 flats on the market, with the cheapest priced at HK$3.9 million.

上月工商舖交投僅錄203宗 業界:撤辣後未明顯受惠

樓市全面撤辣後,工商舖未明顯受惠,資金重注投向住宅,今年3月份工商舖錄203宗成交,較2月份傳統農曆年淡季,升幅亦僅12%。近期工商舖減價蔚成風氣,商廈舖位更錄大幅蝕讓成交。

有本港代理行代理表示,樓市在全面撤辣後,住宅好「威水」,交投量節節上升,由於多年受辣招所困,一旦鬆綁,資金傾向重注住宅,工商舖市場觀望,買賣淡靜,亦皆因政府年前已為工商舖鬆綁撤辣,釐印費向來低於住宅,故今番樓市全面撤辣,不但未惠及工商舖,甚至將資金由工商舖拉扯向住宅。

宗數僅較2月升12%

該代理舉例說,撤辣前,代理一窩蜂在工商舖新盤「跑數」,現時則全部都在跟進住宅,令工商舖市場獨憔悴。有見市況淡靜,部分有心沽貨的投資者,惟有大幅減價,力求成功售出物業。

根據該行資料顯示,今年3月工商舖共錄203宗成交,較2月份的181宗,增幅約12%,不過,由於2月份為傳統農曆年淡季,不能直接作比較;若對比去年3月402宗,減幅更高達50%。

高盛、凱龍瑞等基金旗下上環全新全幢商廈88WL,去年意向價13.9億,近期以約7.5億易手,平均呎價僅8315元,項目前身為永樂街3幢舊樓,早年購入價9.62億,大廈於去年落成,若計及起樓成本,蝕讓5億至6億離場,為近年商廈最大手蝕讓。

商廈舖位錄大幅蝕讓

另外,投資者劉軍沽售海防道32至33A寶豐大廈地下D舖作價1.3億,持貨6年貶值57%。盛滙商舖基金創辦人李根興表示,隨着住宅興旺,投資者套現了不少資金,相信「下一輪」旺場將會輸到工商舖,資金亦會逐漸流向工商舖。

該行另一代理則表示,3月份工商舖範疇當中,工廈交投相對表現佳,3月份錄130宗,較2月份的110宗上升18%。不過,整體金額下跌,只有7.78億,較2月份減少30.5%。

舖位錄蝕讓買賣,消息指出,西營盤第二街88號怡豐閣地下6號舖,建築面積約300方呎,舖位面向常豐里,有指以500萬元成交,呎價約1.67萬元。舖位由裝修設計公司租用,月租1.2萬元,買家可享2.9厘租金回報。

資料顯示,原業主於2015年4月以1268萬元入市,持貨9年,賬面大幅虧損768萬元,勁蝕60.6%離場。

此外,新蒲崗大有街2至4號旺景工業大廈5樓H室,建築面積2424方呎,以668萬元售出,呎價約2756元。原業主為一家本地醬油廠,於2020年12月斥資943萬元購入,賬面蝕275萬元或29.2%。
