湾仔甲级商厦资本中心全层单位录成交，涉资1.48亿，平均每呎1.02万，较同厦上月成交的另一个盘源，大幅降低约30%，业内人士指，该全层以低市价约30%易手。

湾仔资本中心14楼全层，以及3楼两个307及308号车位，今年4月份沦为银主盘，银主以市值逾2亿放售，最终多番减价，以约1.48亿易手，成交呎价仅约1.02万。

今年4月沦银主盘

资本中心实用率高达约79%，享维港景以及湾仔运动场开扬景观。该单位现时部分单位用作出租用途，每月收租约18.5万，租约期至2025年4月，新买家以中国创新投资呼声最高。

该物业曾为内房天誉置业持有，于2012年12月以2.15亿连两个车位买入，直至近年沦银主盘，是次银主沽货价，较购入价低6700万或31%。

2012年以2.15亿成交

据天誉置业中期报告，上述物业曾抵押作贷款，未偿还本金连同应计但未付利息高达1.98亿。天誉置业在2022年4月，股价单日急挫82%并停牌近一周，主因其控股股东兼执行董事余斌欠债近28亿元人民币，其持股遭证券公司「斩仓」。同年6月，该公司公布披露公司「面临着史无前例的巨大流动性压力」，集团管理层随相继「跳船」。

该厦近年录短炒个案，大型出版商联合出版集团，于今年10月斥资2.4亿购入23楼全层，建筑面积约15727方呎，连3个车位，呎价约15260元。该23楼全层，曾由一间天津国企持有，2014年1月斥资约2.23亿买入作为总部，去年3月遭银主接管物业，去年底以约1.9亿沽出，新买家持货9个月，将之售予用家联合出版集团，帐面获利4998万，物业升值26.3%。

高息持续 10月工商铺价量跌两成

高息不利投资气氛，据统计显示，10月份工商铺买卖及金额均按月挫2成。

在高息环境持续下，工商铺投资气氛整体上仍淡静。有本港代理行综合土地註册处资料显示，10月份工商铺註册量共录226宗 (主要反映9月份市况)，按月减少约19.9%，而註册金额则录24.06亿元，按月下跌约18.1%。

商铺仅62宗登记 挫3成

当中工商铺3板块的註册宗数按月录得全綫下跌，商铺板块的註册量跌幅最大，10月仅录62宗登记，按月下跌约31.9%，其次为商厦及工厦板块，最新分别有48宗及116宗註册，按月分别减少约15.8%及13.4%。

若按金额划分，10月份註册量最多的为价值500万元或以下的物业，最新录得123宗註册，按月下跌约16.9%，其次为介乎500万以上至1,000万元及1,000万以上至2,000万元的註册，最新分别录得48宗及34宗登记，按月分别下跌36.0%及8.1%。介乎2,000万以上至5,000万元的物业录得16宗註册，按月增加约23.1%。

商厦唯一录得上升的银码类别，上月商厦录得2宗逾亿元成交。事实上，市场表现不差，如湾仔资本中心23楼全层，以约2.3998亿元成交，以面积约15,727平方呎计，呎价约15,259元。据悉，买家为联合出版集团，原业主持货不足1年后，物业现以约2.4亿元售出。原业主获利近5,000万元，为近期罕有的短炒而获利的成交个案。另外，中环德辅道中71号永安集团大厦14楼全层，以约3.47亿元成交。

商厦表现最佳 录全层买卖

该行代理指出，在施政报告中，政府放宽买家印花税、新住宅印花税及额外印花税等「辣招」，相信措施有望吸引更多投资者以及外来人才来港置业，并有助带动工商铺市场的投资气氛，预料第四季工商铺的成交量可望达到950宗，与第三季的数字相若。美国联储局亦在最近的议息会议中保持利率不变，反映由于近期美国长债债息上升，令市场逐步消化信贷及金融环境收紧的消息，使局方再额外加息以防经济过热的必要性降低，预料未来联储局将会停止加息，本轮加息周期或已结束，投资者适宜在目前的市况下吸纳工商铺物业。

商厦第3季155宗登记 跌38%

有代理表示，施政报告继续推出抢企业、利营商及振经济的措施，可望令低迷的商厦市道出现突破，后市走势可转趋较乐观。

综合土地註册处数据，2023年9月份全港共录55宗商厦买卖登记 (数字主要反映2至4星期前商厦市场实际市况)，较8月份的50宗增加10%，为之前连跌4个月兼横行1个月后首度回升，并创近3个月高位。至第三季3个月合计，商厦共录155宗登记，按季大跌38%。

9月份商厦买卖登记出现量值齐升的情况，当中登记金额连跌两月后终见回升，按月大涨34%，创近3个月以来高位，录得7.83亿元，当中主要是受1亿元或以上的贵价登记增加所带动，当中最大银码的1宗为位处威灵顿街156至158号的商厦登记，涉资近1.85亿元。

按物业价格划分，在7个价格组别的登记量当中，录得三升三跌及一持平。在上升的银码层中，以200万元以下者再凌厉，由8月的「零成交」大增至9月的4宗；其次1亿元或以上者，亦倍增至2宗；而登记量次多500万至1,000万元以内的中细价商厦，亦按月大增60%，共录得16宗登记，反映普遍中高低价商厦交投均呈回暖。

料第4季回升至190宗

以地区划分，在该行观察的11个分区当中，共有4区的登记量按月上升，5区下跌及2区持平；当中北角/炮台山区突破「零登记」，于9月份录得1宗。至于九龙湾区升势强劲，急涨9倍，由前月的1宗，激增至9月份共10宗登记；至于旺角/油麻地区亦大增1.33倍至14宗，并取代尖沙咀/佐敦区成为9月份登记量最旺的观察区。此外，传统的核心商业区上环/中环/金鐘区的登记量亦升25%，月内共录10宗登记。

该代理指出，商厦买卖登记表现仍然相对缓慢，第三季仅录155宗，较次季的248宗急跌近38%，为近3季最少。不过，行政长官李家超刚发表的施政报告锐意抢企业、振经济，并增加劳动力及企业来港，一连串措施均利好营商，对后市必有助益，预期第四季商厦市道可受惠看俏。随着措施陆续落实，相信效应得以发挥，商厦买卖登记量有望告别低潮，于本季冀盼回升约20%，重上接近190宗的水平。

New homes way off yearly target

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.”
