Secondary market hit by new flat sales
Only
four deals were recorded in the 10 major housing estates in the
secondary market as buyers were mostly lured into the primary market,
which saw at least 130 transactions over the weekend.
The
10 major housing estates saw transactions decrease by 20 percent weekly
to four on Saturday and Sunday, the 11th consecutive week of
single-digit deals, data from a property agency showed.
A
property agent said that the weak performance in the secondary market
was partly due to the new projects that started sales over the past two
days at prices that matched market levels.
The agent expects the secondary market to remain flat in the future as there is no positive or negative news for the time being.
Another
agency saw five transactions in the 10 housing estates it tracked over
the same weekend, down by 28.6 percent. The reading makes it 11
consecutive weeks that deal numbers have come in single digits.
Another agent said the easing in mortgage rules by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority didn't stimulate the secondary market.
The main action was in the primary market.
High Park I
in Hung Shui Kiu, developed by Asia Standard International (0129), was
said to have sold 64 of the 188 units that it had put on its price lists
for trading on Saturday.
The
apartments in this round of sale cost between HK$4.41 million and
HK$7.14 million after discounts, or HK$12,688 to HK$15,773 per square
foot.
La Montagne
in Wong Chuk Hang also saw 47 flats purchased on Saturday, accounting
for 44 percent of 108 units in the first round of sales. The prices
after discounts of this batch ranged from HK$9.67 million to HK$30.16
million, or HK$23,988 to HK$35,001 per sq ft.
Henderson Land Development (0012) yesterday sold 16 out of 28 units at The Holborn in Quarry Bay, cashing in HK$120 million in one day.
Wheelock Properties said Koko Mare in Lam Tin saw two transactions that brought in HK$16.2 million in total, while Henderson's Baker Circle Euston in Hung Hom recorded one deal for HK$5.84 million.

乙廈售價月漲0.5%「追落後」
寫字樓交投氣氛轉弱，甲級寫字樓 (甲廈) 和乙級寫字樓 (乙廈) 售價走勢背馳。有代理行指出，今年6月分散業權的甲廈售價按月挫2%，但分散業權的乙廈造價同期漲0.5%，認為乙廈售價「追落後」，看好乙廈市場，料下半年交投更活躍。
對於甲廈和乙廈於6月的售價表現一跌一升，該行代理分析，甲廈價格正處於調整期，連續兩個月向下，但乙廈則「追落後」，以6月為例，上環乙環造價按月飆13.7%，中環亦上揚3.9%，遠遠拋離大市。
該行認為，現時市場對投資寫字樓物業的取態審慎，而乙廈入場銀碼較小，在目前市況下較易獲吸納，料今年下半年乙廈交投將更活躍，港島區物業料最受投資者歡迎。
寫字樓半年交投488宗多14.8%
另外，該行發表的商廈市場報告指出，今年上半年整體寫字樓交投量有488宗，較2022年同期多14.8%，主因去年同期基數低，故今年反彈力度較大，估計今年全年商廈成交量可挑戰1000宗水平，較2022年多約25%。成交金額方面，今年上半年錄得95.3億元，按年飆逾兩成。
