The number of completed new private
homes hit a seven month high of 2,300 in September but the total this
year is still 50 percent off the annual target, data from the Rating and
Valuation Department shows.
For
the first nine months, the number of completed private homes reached
10,090, approximately 50.6 percent of the annual target of 19,953 homes.
The majority of completed flats were in the New Territories, accounting for 6,038 units or 60 percent of the total.
Small
flats with areas of 431 square feet or less accounted for 5,232 of 52
percent of the units, while mid-sized flats with areas from 431 to 752
sq ft accounted for 3,705 or 36.7 percent of the total.
Also, there were no new applications for pre-sale consent for uncompleted properties last month.
Secretary
for Housing Winnie Ho Wing-yin said that a total of 17,000 aging
residential homes and 4,800 industrial buildings will be reconstructed
and developed to provide 32,800 new homes.
In
other news, Grade-A office rents fell 2 percent in the third quarter
and are expected to fall up to 5 percent next year due to shrinking
demand, according to an international property consultancy.

Hong Kong developers hasten new home sales to clear inventory, but revival seen as limited amid high rates, supply
The
market will see about 600 new homes put on sale in November, and agents
expect total primary-market transactions to reach 1,300 to 1,500
Developers will need attractive prices and creativity to draw in buyers, a property agent says
Hong
Kong home builders are hastening sales launches to clear inventory amid
an uptick in market sentiment after Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu
announced the relaxation of some stamp duties in his policy address on
October 25, but will need low prices to draw buyers in an overall
negative environment, agents say.
Sales
of many new property projects had been put on hold since late September
as the market speculated that the government would soon ease the
long-standing cooling measures, which add to the cost of buying a home,
consultants said.
In
the seven days following Lee’s announcement, the market saw 182 new
home sales, according to property agents. The primary market recorded a
total of 362 transactions in October, a 32 per cent increase from the
274 cases in September, which was this year’s lowest total, but still
far below March, when there were 2,100 transactions, according to a
local property agency.
With
developers moving to sell leftover units at already launched projects,
the market will see about 600 new home units put on sale in November.
And property agents expect total primary-market transactions to reach
1,300 to 1,500 in November.
“Developers
will be actively selling their projects as the uncertainties on whether
the government will cut the cooling measures has reduced,” said Chau
Kwong-wing, chair professor and director of the Ronald Coase Centre for
Property Rights Research.
The
buyer’s stamp duty has been halved to 7.5 per cent from 15 per cent for
non-permanent residents and residents buying a second or additional
home. Eligible overseas talent are also not required to pay stamp duty
on property purchases unless they fail to become permanent residents.
However, developers are not very optimistic about the overall market outlook, Chau said.
The
number of first-hand private residential units that may be available in
the next three to four years increased by 2,000 as of the end of
September, to a record high of 107,000 units, compared with an estimate
of 105,000 issued at the end of June, the Housing Bureau said on Monday.
An international property consultancy anticipates that 6,400 private residential flats will be completed in the fourth quarter.
Hong Kong’s monetary authority
kept its key interest rate unchanged at 5.75 per cent on Thursday, in
lockstep with the “dovish pivot” by the US Federal Reserve. It was the
third pause since the Fed began its rate-hike cycle in March 2022. But
the decision is not expected to greatly affect buyer sentiment, as
mortgage rates remain at a high level.
A
total of 303 units from two brand new housing projects kicked off sales
on Saturday. A total of 92 units, or about 30 per cent, were sold.
KT Marina
in Kai Tak, jointly developed by K. Wah International, Wheelock
Properties and China Overseas, sold 60 of the 218 units in phase I on
Saturday. The project, in two phases, is one of the largest residential
developments located at the former airport site, providing a total of
2,138 units.
It
includes one-bedroom to three-bedroom flats with areas ranging from 306
sq ft to 586 sq ft. The discounted prices between HK$5.75 million and
HK$15.46 million translate to HK$17,987 to HK$26,384 per square foot.
“The
slow sales were in line with expectation,” said Tony Wan, director of
sales and marketing for Hong Kong Properties at K Wah International.
“More than half of the buyers are new Hongkongers, some of them have
obtained permanent resident identity.”
The developer is adopting a strategy of clearing inventory, Wan said.
Emperor International Holdings’ residential project SouthSky
in Aberdeen sold 32 of its first 85 units on Saturday. The project is a
23-storey residential building with 110 units, ranging from 245 sq ft
to 881 sq ft, including one to three bedrooms.
Another
massive new residential project, Yoho West, jointly developed by Sun
Hung Kai Properties and MTR Corp, will launch sales in mid-November.
Situated atop Tin Shui Wai’s Tin Wing MTR stop, Yoho West is the first
of two phases, providing 1,393 of the 1,976 total units.
As
evidenced by the recent sales of discounted new flats, there is still a
strong demand for housing, and the market is still receptive, said
Victor Lui Ting, deputy managing director at Sun Hung Kai Properties
(SHKP).
Yet if developers want to sell more units, they need to set very attractive prices, a property agent said.
In addition, developers need to think of new ways to attract homebuyers, the agent added.
For example, on Wednesday, in the latest batch of 93 units at SHKP’s Novo Land
project in Tuen Mun, the developer promised to return up to 5 per cent
of the deal price to buyers if overall home prices in the city fall in
the period ending in May 2024. Specifically, buyers will get paid back
if the average monthly home price index compiled by the Rating and
Valuation Department falls below its level when the purchase is made.
The 93 units will be put up for sale next week at the earliest, the developer said.
“Developers
recently adopted attractive pricing strategies and creative payment
packages to push sales,” a property consultant said. The property
consultancy foresee that market demand would be drawn to the first-hand
market. Sales volume in November will bounce back, yet prices in the
secondary market will face further downward pressure.”

資本中心全層銀主盤1.48億沽 灣仔甲級商廈每呎1.02萬低市價30%
灣仔甲級商廈資本中心全層單位錄成交，涉資1.48億，平均每呎1.02萬，較同廈上月成交的另一個盤源，大幅降低約30%，業內人士指，該全層以低市價約30%易手。
灣仔資本中心14樓全層，以及3樓兩個307及308號車位，今年4月份淪為銀主盤，銀主以市值逾2億放售，最終多番減價，以約1.48億易手，成交呎價僅約1.02萬。
今年4月淪銀主盤
資本中心實用率高達約79%，享維港景以及灣仔運動場開揚景觀。該單位現時部分單位用作出租用途，每月收租約18.5萬，租約期至2025年4月，新買家以中國創新投資呼聲最高。
該物業曾為內房天譽置業持有，於2012年12月以2.15億連兩個車位買入，直至近年淪銀主盤，是次銀主沽貨價，較購入價低6700萬或31%。
2012年以2.15億成交
據天譽置業中期報告，上述物業曾抵押作貸款，未償還本金連同應計但未付利息高達1.98億。天譽置業在2022年4月，股價單日急挫82%並停牌近一周，主因其控股股東兼執行董事余斌欠債近28億元人民幣，其持股遭證券公司「斬倉」。同年6月，該公司公布披露公司「面臨着史無前例的巨大流動性壓力」，集團管理層隨相繼「跳船」。
該廈近年錄短炒個案，大型出版商聯合出版集團，於今年10月斥資2.4億購入23樓全層，建築面積約15727方呎，連3個車位，呎價約15260元。該23樓全層，曾由一間天津國企持有，2014年1月斥資約2.23億買入作為總部，去年3月遭銀主接管物業，去年底以約1.9億沽出，新買家持貨9個月，將之售予用家聯合出版集團，帳面獲利4998萬，物業升值26.3%。

高息持續 10月工商舖價量跌兩成
高息不利投資氣氛，據統計顯示，10月份工商舖買賣及金額均按月挫2成。
在高息環境持續下，工商舖投資氣氛整體上仍淡靜。有本港代理行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示，10月份工商舖註冊量共錄226宗 (主要反映9月份市況)，按月減少約19.9%，而註冊金額則錄24.06億元，按月下跌約18.1%。
商舖僅62宗登記 挫3成
當中工商舖3板塊的註冊宗數按月錄得全綫下跌，商舖板塊的註冊量跌幅最大，10月僅錄62宗登記，按月下跌約31.9%，其次為商廈及工廈板塊，最新分別有48宗及116宗註冊，按月分別減少約15.8%及13.4%。
若按金額劃分，10月份註冊量最多的為價值500萬元或以下的物業，最新錄得123宗註冊，按月下跌約16.9%，其次為介乎500萬以上至1,000萬元及1,000萬以上至2,000萬元的註冊，最新分別錄得48宗及34宗登記，按月分別下跌36.0%及8.1%。介乎2,000萬以上至5,000萬元的物業錄得16宗註冊，按月增加約23.1%。
商廈唯一錄得上升的銀碼類別，上月商廈錄得2宗逾億元成交。事實上，市場表現不差，如灣仔資本中心23樓全層，以約2.3998億元成交，以面積約15,727平方呎計，呎價約15,259元。據悉，買家為聯合出版集團，原業主持貨不足1年後，物業現以約2.4億元售出。原業主獲利近5,000萬元，為近期罕有的短炒而獲利的成交個案。另外，中環德輔道中71號永安集團大廈14樓全層，以約3.47億元成交。
商廈表現最佳 錄全層買賣
該行代理指出，在施政報告中，政府放寬買家印花稅、新住宅印花稅及額外印花稅等「辣招」，相信措施有望吸引更多投資者以及外來人才來港置業，並有助帶動工商舖市場的投資氣氛，預料第四季工商舖的成交量可望達到950宗，與第三季的數字相若。美國聯儲局亦在最近的議息會議中保持利率不變，反映由於近期美國長債債息上升，令市場逐步消化信貸及金融環境收緊的消息，使局方再額外加息以防經濟過熱的必要性降低，預料未來聯儲局將會停止加息，本輪加息周期或已結束，投資者適宜在目前的市況下吸納工商舖物業。

商廈第3季155宗登記 跌38%
有代理表示，施政報告繼續推出搶企業、利營商及振經濟的措施，可望令低迷的商廈市道出現突破，後市走勢可轉趨較樂觀。
綜合土地註冊處數據，2023年9月份全港共錄55宗商廈買賣登記 (數字主要反映2至4星期前商廈市場實際市況)，較8月份的50宗增加10%，為之前連跌4個月兼橫行1個月後首度回升，並創近3個月高位。至第三季3個月合計，商廈共錄155宗登記，按季大跌38%。
9月份商廈買賣登記出現量值齊升的情況，當中登記金額連跌兩月後終見回升，按月大漲34%，創近3個月以來高位，錄得7.83億元，當中主要是受1億元或以上的貴價登記增加所帶動，當中最大銀碼的1宗為位處威靈頓街156至158號的商廈登記，涉資近1.85億元。
按物業價格劃分，在7個價格組別的登記量當中，錄得三升三跌及一持平。在上升的銀碼層中，以200萬元以下者再凌厲，由8月的「零成交」大增至9月的4宗；其次1億元或以上者，亦倍增至2宗；而登記量次多500萬至1,000萬元以內的中細價商廈，亦按月大增60%，共錄得16宗登記，反映普遍中高低價商廈交投均呈回暖。
料第4季回升至190宗
以地區劃分，在該行觀察的11個分區當中，共有4區的登記量按月上升，5區下跌及2區持平；當中北角/炮台山區突破「零登記」，於9月份錄得1宗。至於九龍灣區升勢強勁，急漲9倍，由前月的1宗，激增至9月份共10宗登記；至於旺角/油麻地區亦大增1.33倍至14宗，並取代尖沙咀/佐敦區成為9月份登記量最旺的觀察區。此外，傳統的核心商業區上環/中環/金鐘區的登記量亦升25%，月內共錄10宗登記。
該代理指出，商廈買賣登記表現仍然相對緩慢，第三季僅錄155宗，較次季的248宗急跌近38%，為近3季最少。不過，行政長官李家超剛發表的施政報告銳意搶企業、振經濟，並增加勞動力及企業來港，一連串措施均利好營商，對後市必有助益，預期第四季商廈市道可受惠看俏。隨着措施陸續落實，相信效應得以發揮，商廈買賣登記量有望告別低潮，於本季冀盼回升約20%，重上接近190宗的水平。
