骆克道巨铺减12%租出裕泰兴家族持有呎租33.8元
社会运动重挫铺位市场，惟部分护老院仍积极扩充。消息指，由裕泰兴家族持有的湾仔骆克道巨铺，近期获护老院以60万承租，较旧租金下跌约12%，最新平均呎租约33.8元。
市场消息指出，上址为骆克道233至243号星港大厦地下D号铺及1至3楼全层，面积合共约17750方呎，以每月60万获护老院承租，平均呎租约33.8元。据悉，该巨铺旧租户为娱乐场所，旧租为68万，故租金跌幅约12%。

据土地註册处资料显示，上址业主于2018年以1.68亿购入，并以公司名义溢阳有限公司（RIGHT BOOST LIMITED）持有，註册董事为梁婉玲及郭卓彦，其中梁婉玲（Leung Yuen Ling Elina）为裕泰兴家族成员罗守辉妻子，以最新租金计算，租金回报约4.3厘。

知情人士透露，受连串社会运动拖累，市场观望气氛瀰漫，对铺位市场更属首当其冲，惟同类大楼面放租盘已近乎绝迹，加上护老院需求殷切，于市场上合适供应业相当有限，故促成上述租赁。
另外，虽然市场观望气氛仍浓，惟商厦市场仍频录成交，市场消息指出，长沙湾亿京广场II期高层F室，面积343方呎，以591.4万售出，呎价约17241元，高市价约一成，创该厦过去一年新高水平；此外，据土地註册处资料显示，由亿京发展的新蒲岗万迪广场9楼C及D室，于上月11日分别以1588.4万及2228.6万成交，合共涉资约3817万，买家为香港循理会（THE FREE METHODIST CHURCH OF HONG KONG）。

另一方面，上环信德中心招商局大厦高层10至11室，面积约5112方呎，以36.8万租出，平均呎租约72元，属市价水平。

Economic slowdown to dampen property prices
Property prices in Hong Kong will fall between five and 10 percent this year, amid an economic slowdown, according to a real estate agent.
Though calm has largely returned to the streets, which may improve domestic consumption, employment and salary growth will be impacted by a slowdown in the economy, the agent said.
The agent expects the property market to boom after the Chinese New Year, adding that the hot sales of some new projects are due to smaller units and attractive prices, but other units are not selling quickly.
In the primary market, CITIC Pacific has collected HK$95.44 million after selling five flats at The Entrance in Ma On Shan by tender so far this month. The developer has launched 84 flats at The Entrance for sale by tender since Monday. The project has obtained an occupation permit.
Also, Great Eagle (0041) sold a three-bedroom flat at Ontolo in Tai Po for HK$24.1 million, or HK$19,551 per sq ft, by tender.
In the secondary market, another real estate agency firm reported eight secondary transactions at Taikoo Shing so far this month.
Meanwhile, home owners continued to woo buyers with price cuts as more loss-making deals were recorded in luxury transactions.
A 716-sq-ft flat at Tai Koo Shing in Quarry Bay changed hands for HK$13.38 million, or HK$18,687 per sq ft, after HK$1.62 million was slashed from the original asking price. Also in Quarry Bay, a three-bedroom flat at Kornhill fetched HK$9.38 million, or HK$15,791 per sq ft, after HK$420,000 was cut from the asking price.
In the luxury market, Decade Or Chun-ping, chairman of Taste of Asia which owns Cafe 100%, bought a 2,520-sq-ft house at Hong Lok Yuen in Tai Po for HK$38.5 million, or HK$15,300 per sq ft. The buying price was HK$4.84 million lower than the HK$43.34 million paid by the seller five years ago. The vendor would incur a loss of at least HK$7.06 million after paying stamp duties and commission fees.
