通关后工商铺买卖稍转好，有本港代理行料下半年整体价格平稳，商厦因供应多，租售价料跌5%。

该行资料显示，今年上半年市场共录得约1,816宗工商铺买卖成交，涉及总成交金额约358.77亿元，分别对比去年下半年的约1,790宗及351.21亿元均见上升趋势。

展望2023下半年，该行代理认为，港府得到中央全力支持，鼓励北水南下，预料下半年资金走向会较佳，加上政府集中重振香港经济措施，相信接下来会适度推行利好营商措施，下半年工商铺市况危中有机，保持审慎乐观。

铺位租赁料2400宗水平

预测下半年会继续以商铺市场最为活跃，工厦物业就料会维持优势平稳向上。商铺方面，该代理指通关后商铺租赁查询明显增多，当中以药妆店、奢侈品店及餐饮行业为领头羊，令核心区铺位逐渐被消化，预料下半年铺位租赁成交会有2,400宗水平，商铺核心区平稳至轻微上升5%，民生区跌5%，而受港人北上消费新界区影响最大。

至于写字楼市场前景则充满不明朗因素，包括加息周期持续、中美关係未定，加上向来为香港商厦市场重要购买力的国内资金入市步伐放慢，近年市场未间断推出新商厦楼面，令本已消化不及的现有空置楼面情况雪上加霜。展望下半年市况，预测下半年写字楼买卖成交量会维持平稳录得约320宗水平，租售价料同跌约5%。

观塘广生行银主盘8100万售 每呎3967元低20% 料回报逾5厘

投资市场淡静，不过只要物业价格吸引，仍受投资者垂青，观塘广生行中心工厦银主盘单位，连一个车位，以8100万易手，平均呎价3967元，低市价20%，

观塘海滨道151至153号广生行中心工厦20楼1至03室，以及8至15室，建筑面积20417方呎，连1楼10号车位，早前以银主盘形式放售，开价9700万，最终以8100万易手，较开价低1600万或幅度16%，平均呎价3967元 (未计车位)，低市价约20%；若然扣除价值约200万的车位，成交呎价仅为3869元。

逾2万呎连1个车位

该厦同类型单位，现时市值呎租约18元，以易手价计算，料租金回报约5.4厘。

有市场消息指出，该新买家是一名投资者，有见上址共有11个分契单位，建筑面积由1243至3249方呎，不排除日后拆售单位，惟有关消息未获得证实。

上述工厦业主于1992年9月以3307万购入上址，其后牵涉官司，物业最后沦为银主盘，若以易手价与31年前购入价比较，期内物业升值4793万或逾1.4倍。

广生行中心于近年成交甚为活跃，中低层呎价普遍逾5000元，上述成交价至少低市价逾20%，其中19楼9室高层单位，建筑面积2007方呎，于今年4月以1300万易手，平均呎价高达6477元，由于19楼位处高层，与上述20楼质素接近，若以此比较，最新成交价低39%。

92年成交价3307万

近期市场亦频录投资者入市，包括指标乙厦等物业，成交价均为低市价水平。包括珠宝品牌连锁店MaBelle掌舵人马墉宜及有关人士，购入湾仔富通大厦22楼全层，建筑面积约6350方呎，连2楼32号车位易手，作价7600万，平均呎价约11969元，属该厦10年来新低。

Hong Kong May home prices end 4 months of gains to drop 0.7pc 

Hong Kong private home prices retreated 0.7 percent in May from April, the first fall in four months, official data showed, as many home buyers stayed on the sidelines amid uncertainty over interest rate hikes and the economic outlook. 

The drop in home prices last month in the financial hub, one of the most expensive markets in the world, followed a revised 0.4 percent rise in April, according to data released on Wednesday. 

Market observers, including Bank of East Asia, have said they expect banks to raise their best lending rates again in July, following a 12.5 basis points hike in May, due to pressure on funding costs. 

Hong Kong interbank rates rose further in June, with one-month Hibor, the benchmark used in pricing residential mortgage loans, surging to the highest level since October 2007. 

Steep discounts offered by property developers on new launches also added pressure on prices, especially in the secondhand market. 

Major developer Henderson Land this month offered the first batch of flats in a new development in Kai Tak, Kowloon, at prices about 15 percent lower than other new stock in the same area. 

Transaction volume in June was expected to fall for a third month to a five-month low, a property agent said. The spike in the beginning of 2023 was helped by the border reopening with mainland China and many new launches by property developers. 

The industry has been urging the government to relax some property market curbs after housing prices dropped 15 percent last year. 

Financial Secretary Paul Chan said on Sunday that Hong Kong planned to “fine-tune” the maximum size of mortgages available to some first-time home buyers because some residents wanted to upgrade homes after starting families, without giving further details.
