利息高企抵销通关的利好因素,今年首季投资市场偏淡,有外资代理行代理表示,随着第二季开始利息见顶,有利大手投资活动,看好酒店及核心区铺位。
该代理表示,上月,久违的大型展览再度举行,国际珠宝展及巴塞尔艺术展为市场带来生气,虽然访港旅客仅恢復疫市前约50%,酒店生意出乎意料理想,不论三星或五星级出租率高达80%,租金重返疫情前水平,核心区铺位亦连录瞩目租赁。儘管市况向好,大手投资却偏淡。
酒店租金重返疫情前
该行资料显示,首季市场上亿元或以上大交易,金额仅91亿,按季跌15%,按年跌16%,翟聪解释,利息高企,窒碍投资者意欲,尤其善用槓桿的基金,完全缺乏动力。
该代理续说,去年至今,同业拆息由0.2厘升至3厘高水平,抵销通关的利好因素,儘管近月买家查询大增,重返疫市前60%至70%水平,高息令他们审慎,业主看好前景,态度强硬,交投因而下跌。
「家族办公室」带动香港经济
虽然如此,该代理对后市抱坚定信心,代理说,亚太区多个主要城市比香港更早通关,根据外地经验,经济需时恢復动力,「一切只是时间而己」。该代理留意到,一项重要因素,令香港前景看高一綫,政府给予诱因,鼓励外地人来港设立「家族办公室」,务求大量引入资金及人才,将带动香港经济。
代理表示,今年第二季利息开始见顶,投资市场再度起动,旅客重临,酒店及核心区铺直接受惠,疫市下铺租曾跌至低谷,目前回气反弹,趁租售价大升前,正是吸纳良机。
该代理续表示,香港擅于策划展览,旅游及酒店业兴旺;过去3年,部分酒店改商厦或其他用途,房间流失多达约3000个,相对整体市场约9万个房间,佔约3%,供应减少带动房价上升。

核心区物业已调整 投资价值高
外资代理行代理:内地中小企 查询租盘增
首季大额投资物业买卖整体未见畅旺,有外资代理行代理认为,投资市场受制于高息环境,看好下半年有改善,当中认为核心区物业已调整,绝对值得投资。
去年第四季大额成交淡静,今年即使终于通关,首季买卖未见畅旺。据该行数据,2021年全年逾亿元买卖录318宗,而去年在加息下,跌至175宗,幅度达45%。截至4月,今年仅录34宗逾亿元成交,仍是相对淡静。数字上,首季大手买卖27%来自住宅成交,比起对上一季14.6%为高,反映首季大手成交,住宅市场转理想,其餘投资物业包括工业、商厦等,交投未见起色。
该代理分析,从数字上反映通关后,大额投资市场没有受利好因素带动,「即使近期住宅市场出现逾亿元成交而涉及内地买家,但其实有关资金一早在港,非通关而入市。通关后资金流入个案,以一手住宅较理想,其餘各范畴未见资金涌入。」代理分析,「毕竟内地经济亦受疫情影响,在恢復阶段,现阶段资金较紧张,国企级用家亦未见出手买商厦,而内地中小企查询写字楼租盘转多。」
投资市场由去年下半年始转势,今年尚未回復,该代理直指主要原因是息口,「投资市场从来息口是关键,加息周期始终未完。毕竟香港一直是低息环境,当息口高值博率便低,去年第四季开始外资基金停止入市,他们一定借4至5成钱,高息下便乏兴趣入市。」不过,相信加息已到尾声,「若息口下半年喘定,仍有利投资市场,相信上半年买卖会较淡静,下半年经济活动将较多,大额买卖可望增加」。
投资商铺 正路之选
今年投资焦点上,该代理认为最值得留意是传统核心区,「近一年很多人谈论北部都会区前景佳,值得投资,但始终言之尚早,今明两年仍集中投资核心区,因不论商厦、铺位资产价格已调整,今天要去中环买一幢商厦,也是无放盘,因此价钱调整至合理水平,便出现投资机会。」
各项范畴上,过往两年基金连环吸纳工厦,该代理料今年交投放缓,「工厦回报率相对较高,但近年已售出一批工厦。物流业在通关后,需求即放缓。当加息后,要提高工厦回报率,用途不离改冻仓及数据中心,惟两者受制于物业本身规格,预计成交不多。」
至于商铺,代理指是投资正路之选,「旅客重返,零售业有转机,商铺先受惠,不过访港人数、消费等,亦要时间恢復,要留意五一黄金周情况如何。」写字楼方面,代理指今明两年是新供应高峰期,关键是机构需求会否减少,「近期很多机构见中环租金较以前便宜,有兴趣搬迁。整体走势仍要留意中资动力,包括IPO、资产管理公司扩充等,租金方面,全年持平发展已很理想。」

医疗商厦有钱途
物业增值才有投资价值,有外资代理行代理表示,看好医疗相关商厦,以及可转作住宅收租的酒店物业。
从事大额买卖多年,该代理认为,若要吸引投资者购大额物业,关键之一是物业具增值空间,才有升值潜力。疫情下,代理指整体市况有所转变,「毕竟疫情3年,对经济日常运作及活动也有影响,如疫后市民网购会否增加?现在市民生活习惯也有转变,晚上街道人流亦减少,这些均是疫后一些改变,会否重回疫情前有待观察。」代理指,疫情更令市民注重身体,故可留意医疗相关物业,「例如一些商厦,可作医疗用途,或业主与医疗机构合作等。对内地人来说,对香港医疗始终有信心,相关物业前景佳。」
酒店可作住宅收租 潜力高
另一项值得留意物业是酒店及服务式住宅,该代理看好原因来自住屋需求,事实上,该行去年亦曾协助基金以16.5亿元购红磡酒店,改作学生宿舍用途,「旅游业转好,酒店固然有投资价值,但除了传统用途外,基金仍对可作住宅长租、共居等范畴感兴趣。」
至于长远而言,该代理谓不少基金留意创科市场,包括生物科技企业等,故相关的厂房、可作科研工作的物业,未来料成新需求。
大湾区发展前景佳,该代理指,该行亦于通关后加快与内地分行合作,互动加强,「本港甲厦租金水平下跌后,已贴近深圳,不少内地公司亦有兴趣来开业。与此同时,香港甚至跨国企业,亦有意开拓内地市场,故相信有不少商机。」另外,「预计今年外资基金入市兴趣降,焦点将是本地投资者,老牌家族开始有意放盘或入市。」

HK property deals cool down amid uncertainty
Local property transactions are set to fall by 30 percent in April from the month before, a property agency warned, citing economic uncertainty.
The number of sale-and-purchase agreements in April stood at 3,251 as of April 19, involving HK$27.97 billion in total.
According to the agency’s estimates, around 6,000 property transactions worth a total of HK$50 billion will be recorded in April, representing a plunge of 30.2 percent in number and 27.4 percent in value from the figures recorded in March.
As of April 19, there were 761 residential property transactions in the primary market, involving HK$7.85 billion.
The estimated total number of transactions for the month is expected to be around 1,300, with a total value of HK$14 billion. These represent a decrease of 27 percent and 27.3 percent respectively, compared to the figures in March.
Meanwhile, the secondary market recorded 1,659 transactions involving HK$15.39 billion as of April 19.
And the total number of transactions in the secondary market for the month is estimated to be 3,000, with a total value of HK$26 billion, a decrease of 33.1 percent and 28 percent respectively.
Over the weekend, the agency saw an increase in transactions in 10 major housing estates, rising from five in the previous week to eight. However, no transactions were reported in half of these 10 estates.
It said that as new property projects were launched successively with competitive prices, this continued to exert pressure on the secondary market.
The agency’s prediction came as show flats of University Hill, a new project in Tai Po, attracted around 13,000 visitors since they were opened last Thursday.
Project developer Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said it may make more flats available for sale in the near future in light of the enthusiastic response from potential buyers to University Hill.
The second price list for 61 flats at University Hill was released last Friday, offering a maximum of 15 percent discount. Starting from HK$5.6 million after discounts, the average discounted unit price of these flats is HK$16,168 per square foot.
Meanwhile, the last detached house of SHKP's project The Wings IIIA in Tseung Kwan O was sold for HK$48.2 million by tender, marking another transaction in the luxury property sector.
