减息带动甲厦连录成交 造价仍低
近期甲厦买卖明显增加，业内人士认为，减息增强买家入市信心，惟仍有平盘于市场上，故造价仍较低。
据一间本港代理行每月10大指标甲厦买卖成交上，上月录得7宗买卖，交投上升。上环信德中心录2宗成交，其中一宗为信德中心招商局大厦19楼1及17室银主盘，面积共约3,298平方呎，以约4,100万元成交，呎价约12,432元，为近10多年新低。
翻查资料，该物业曾由中联石化前主席许智明及相关人士拥有，2017年底以约9,739.6万元购入，呎价约29,532元，早前单位沦银主盘。按现时成交价计，单位于7年间，大幅贬值约5,637万元，跌价约58%。
力宝中心无窗户 成交呎价1.5万
至于金鐘力宝中心更一连录4宗买卖，包括1座高层03室，面积约3,124平方呎，以约4,217万元成交，呎价约13,499元，属低价成交。原业主于2006年以约2,561万元购入，持货18年转手，获利约1,656万元。
另外，力宝中心二座3510室，面积约392平方呎，以约580万元易手，平均呎价约14,796元，该单位位处电梯槽旁而无窗的迷你空间，造价向来偏低。
至于尖沙咀方面，星光行中高层32室，面积约754平方呎，以约500万元易手，呎价约6,631元。
该行代理认为，最近整体甲厦市场买卖增加，主因9月起减息，令买家入市信心加强。整体而言，现市况处好淡争持格局，仍有业主较睇淡后市，以低价放售物业，故最近甲厦成交增，而造价仍偏低。
马亚木家族 连环拆售中环甲厦
除了传统10大指标甲厦外，其他甲厦买卖亦有上升，「小巴大王」马亚木家族近期拆售2项目，其中持有多年的中环环球大厦23楼全层甲级写字楼进行拆售，并售出03室，面积约1,394平方呎，以约3,000万元交吉售出，呎价约21,521元。另资料显示，该家族亦拆售中环中心27楼1及13室，面积约5,062平方呎，以约1.03亿元成交，呎价约20,348元，属理想价格。
该代理分析，现阶段未能断定甲厦呎价是否见底，但见近期承接力，相信价格离底不远，短期内造价仍会偏低，成交量上升。

甲厦首10月交投 按年增1成半
统计指，今年首10个月甲厦录85宗买卖，较去年增近15%。
有本港代理行发表的商厦市场报告指出，10月份共录得9宗指标甲厦成交，按月增加2宗，而今年首10个月则录得85宗成交，较2022年及2023年的数字分别增加约37.1%及14.9%。租售价方面，指标甲厦售价按月下跌约2.8%，而租金则按月微升约0.6%。
租赁成交方面，市场再录得有资产管理行业扩充楼面。美资对冲基金Millennium Management以月租约239万元租用国际金融中心二期中高层楼面，以及万方家族办公室以月租约113万元租用中环中心中层楼面。此外，内地电商京东旗下的企业亦以月租约33万元租用中环怡和大厦高层楼面。
改装商厦拟宽限 乙厦看俏
该行代理表示，政府在新发表的施政报告中推出多项强化香港财富管理业务的政策，以及放宽改装酒店和商厦为学生宿舍的限制。措施有助巩固本港作为国际财富管理中心的地位，预料资产管理相关的行业将会成为商厦的主要租户。目前商厦空置率高企，放宽改装商厦的限制有助紓缓目前商厦市场供过于求的局面，建议政府提出标準补地价的方案或收取容忍费的措施，从而加快商厦业主改装旗下物业的进度。
此外，投资者可以留意乙级商厦的投资机会。一旦放宽改装商厦的政策得到落实，相信具备改装为学生宿舍的乙厦物业价值将得到提升。
该代理又指出，联储局在11月的议息会议再度减息25点子，而本港各大银行亦跟随将最优惠利率减低。配合金管局放宽物业按揭贷款的政策，相信措施能为投资者入市提供诱因。在10月份金鐘及上环皆录得有甲厦物业以超过10年的低位成交，此外，目前不少位于东九龙的甲厦平均呎价亦低于10,000元的水平，预料未来将有更多投资者低价吸纳优质商厦物业。

Fruitful harvest for developers
Signs of a booming local property market continue following the interest rate downturn and rising home demand from offshore talent, bringing developers of new projects a fruitful harvest, especially for those in Kai Tak and Northern Metropolis.
The Knightsbridge in Kai Tak, co-developed by six developers including Henderson Land (0012), has sold 40 units since sales resumed with finished units last month, minting around HK$1.55 billion. It plans to launch a new batch of sea view flats today.
High Park I in Hung Shui Kiu in Northern Metropolis, developed by Asia Standard International (0129), has raked in around HK$2.1 billion from selling 403 units, comprising more than 90 percent of the project's homes. With more tenants turning up to buy flats amid the interest rate cut cycle, 90 percent of buyers bought units for practical purposes, the developer said.
The second phase of High Park is in the works as the developer believes that with more talent coming to the city, home demand in the area will increase.
Hollywood Hill in Sheung Wan, developed by Hanison Construction (0896), has cashed in HK$260 million from the sale of 34 units. The developer plans to launch a luxury project in Kowloon Tong in the first half of 2025, which includes 11 units. It will roll out a low-density premium project in Tong Yan San Tsuen, Yuen Long in the first quarter of 2026.
A two-bedroom flat in St George's Mansions in Ho Man Tin, developed by Sino Land (0083) and CLP Holdings (0002), sold for HK$21.78 million.
Finally, CK Asset (1113) recently sold two four-bedroom flats at its 21 Borrett Road project in Mid-levels Central for HK$290 million by tender.

Sichuan tycoon dumps Hong Kong Mid-Levels luxury flat for US$8.4 million, a 35% discount
The seller of the flat is An Zhifu, president of Sichuan-based Fulin Group
A tycoon from Sichuan province sold a luxury flat in Hong Kong’s Mid-Levels at a 35 per cent discount, as buyers hunt for bargains amid falling interest rates and eased restrictions on borrowing.
A 1,674 sq ft duplex in the Alassio luxury project – developed by Swire Properties – at 100 Caine Road changed hands for HK$65 million (US$8.35 million), 35 per cent lower than its last sale price of HK$101 million in 2016, according to an agent who is familiar with the deal.
The seller is An Zhifu, president of Sichuan-based Fulin Group, a private business with interests in real estate, car manufacturing, healthcare and transportation that has total assets of 20 billion yuan (US$2.8 billion), according to its website. The company is a shareholder in Fulin Precision, a Shenzhen-listed company that makes and sells car parts.
The flat was sold on November 6, the agent said, after going on the market last year with an asking price of HK$110 million. But the transaction has yet to show up on the Land Registry and details on the buyer are not available.
“We’ve seen mainland homeowners who bought luxury houses in Hong Kong when the market was hot trying to sell over the past two years due to various reasons,” an agent said. “At the same time, recent big lump sum transactions worth HK$50 million or more were mostly from mainland buyers, too.”
Sentiment in Hong Kong’s residential property market has become sunnier since the US Federal Reserve kicked off a cycle of interest-rate reductions in September. Last week, following another Fed cut, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority reduced its base rate by a quarter point to 5 per cent. Subsequently, six major Hong Kong lenders reduced their prime lending rates for the second time this year, which trimmed borrowing costs to their lowest level in two years.
In addition, the Hong Kong government recently raised the borrowing limit and debt-servicing ratio for both residential and non-residential properties. It also removed all buying curbs in February.
All these factors plus an upbeat stock market have helped to lift sentiment in the property market and spur luxury residential sales, another agent said.
“Alongside end users, there is growing interest from investors looking to capitalise on the luxury market for distressed sales opportunities,” the agent said.
The agent added that prices of luxury residential homes have not seen a major drop, but distressed properties may see large price reductions of as much as 50 per cent.
Earlier this month, Chen Zhuolin, the chairman of troubled mainland Chinese developer Agile Group, sold a residential property in Hong Kong at a 62 per cent discount to his purchase price six years earlier, according to government records.
The agent also sold another flat in Hamburg Villa in August for HK$14.3 million, or 54 per cent below his purchase price, according to official records.
In October, 20 luxury residential properties worth HK$78 million or more changed hands, up from 12 in September. The value of all such transactions in October was HK$4.15 billion, up 170 per cent from the HK$1.54 billion that was reported in September, according to the agency.
