近期市場漸走向通關復常之路,氣氛稍好轉,中環環球大廈錄1宗大手承租,該廈低層全層,面積約16693方呎,以每呎約43.5元租出,涉資逾72萬,屬該廈疫市以來最大宗租賃,不過呎租仍較舊租跌51%,重返8年前水平。
上址為環球大廈5樓全層,面積約16693方呎,前租客為美林證券,早於2019年8月遷出,業主意向呎租88元,物業交吉多時,直至近年多翻減租,最新以每呎約43.5元租出,為過去8年以來,該廈最低呎租,重返8年前水平,每月租金約72.6萬,美林證券舊租每呎約88元,新租金跌51%。
每月租金逾72萬
近年來,核心區甲廈全層大樓面單位需求較小,部分業主傾向拆細單位招租,往往將2萬呎的全層單位,拆細至每個5000至6000方呎,甚至更細。不過,由恒基持有的上述全層,並沒有追隨潮流拆細,亦因此,直至近期市場氣氛稍好轉才租出。
全層面積近1.67萬呎
業內人士表示,近年來商廈市況低迷,空置率更屢創新高,近期租賃市場稍有起色。有代理表示,過往「去中環化」,由於中環商廈租金高,現時隨着中環商廈租金大跌,出現「再中環化」情況,企業再度遷入中環。
今年以來,環球大廈暫錄6宗租賃,由「小巴大王」馬亞木持有的環球大廈2306室,面積約1162方呎,以每呎51.7元租出,月租約6萬,該單位望正海景,租金稍高於市價,其中,馬亞木持有該全層約80%樓面,除了1號單位租予信貸公司,其他單位將之拆細,全新裝修,面積約1000至2000方呎,是疫市下受捧尺碼。
今年暫錄8宗租賃
另一代理表示,現時核心區商廈雖然仍有不少空置,景觀佳、有裝修優質單位仍然「去到貨」,市場上需求較殷切的是1000至2000方呎的單位。
有代理行發表的商廈報告指,由於疫情下衍生的靈活工作模式及擴充步伐減慢,拖累核心區寫字樓租金嚴重下挫,今年11月,中環區租金按月挫8.9%,最新平均呎租為49.1元,屬12年的低位。

Hong Kong’s 13-year housing market rally is all but over as November home prices plunge by most since financial crisis
The lived-in home price index sank 3.3 per cent in November, the biggest drop since November 2008
Barring a miraculous recovery in December, a 13-year annual rally in the city’s house prices is at an end
Hong Kong’s home prices dropped by the most in 14 years in November and look likely to fall again this month in what would be the longest series of monthly declines since the 2003 Sars epidemic.
Barring a miraculous recovery in December, a 13-year annual rally in the city’s house prices is over.
The lived-in home price index sank 3.3 per cent from the previous month to 339.4 in November, according to data released by the Rating and Valuation Department on Wednesday. That is the biggest drop since a slump of 8.2 per cent in November 2008 in the midst of the global financial crisis, and takes the gauge to its lowest level since August 2017.
“The next home price index for December will see a decline of about 2.5 per cent,” property agent said. “Annually, the home price is expected to fall by 16 per cent, ending the 13 consecutive years of the rally from 2009 to 2021.”
If the index does drop again in December, it will have fallen for seven consecutive months in 2022, making it the longest decline since Hong Kong was hit by severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) in 2003.
In the first 11 months of this year, home prices have fallen by 13.8 per cent. From a peak of 398.1 in September last year, the home price index is down by 14.75 per cent.
In November, “the housing market was at its worst moment,” another agent said.
A sharp rise in borrowing costs has put a dent in demand for houses this year.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority in mid-December raised the city’s base rate by 50 basis points to 4.75 per cent, close to the 5 per cent record last seen in January 2008.
“Due to the rapid deterioration of the local and global economic outlook, the overall market sentiment is weak. The official index will continue to fall in December,” another agent said.
Although the United States has begun to slow down the pace of interest rate hikes, overall borrowing costs in Hong Kong will still rise, which will affect first-time homebuyers and new mortgage applicants, the agent said.
First-hand and second-hand transaction volumes will hover around 3,000 to 4,000 per month in the next quarter, Wong added. For comparison, in April 2021 when the market was in better shape, lived-in home sales alone came to 6,510.
The city’s property agencies are slashing headcount amid the slump in sales.
“Real estate agents are facing unprecedented challenges,” another agent said. The most intense “war of elimination” in the history of the industry has broken out, and the unemployment rate among agents has soared, the agent added.
“With the plunge in Hong Kong’s property turnover, there was an unprecedented heavy loss,” the agent said. “We had to immediately take the same actions as our peers, such as reducing the number of shops and letting front-line employees leave.”
The wave of unemployment in the agency industry will reach its peak in January next year, and may even drag down other real estate-related industries, the agent added.
