假期效应加上观望《预算案》，2月份工商铺观望气氛浓厚，受中环盈置大厦全幢成交带动，买卖金额急升。

有本港代理行代理表示，2月份市场录约181宗工商铺成交，总金额约89.5亿，按月分别跌约3.7%及增加约3.8倍，按年分别下调约34%及增加约23%。商铺买卖宗数由1月约42宗，微跌约7%至约39宗，金额约10.35亿，按月增约89%。由丽新发展持有的将军澳唐贤街29号蓝塘傲基座商场以约5.3亿沽，回报逾5厘。

金额89.5亿大升3.8倍

该代理续表示，写字楼2月录约32宗，按月微增1宗，金额约67.93亿，按月大增16倍，按年增约1.8倍。受中环盈置大厦全幢64亿易手带动，新买家为台湾跨国软件公司「趋势科技」相关人士。该笔交易超越去年证监会以约54亿购入鰂鱼涌港岛东中心12层楼面。工厦宗数按月及按年分别微跌约4%及24%，金额升约22%至11.21亿。月内包括「游戏机大王」钟子权或有关人士以约1.5亿购入粉岭安乐门街30至32号及安居街31号两幢相连工厦。

该代理分析，自从全面撤辣后及金管局放宽按揭成数后，地产市场进入新纪元，随着工商铺按揭上限至七成，减低入市成本，买卖气氛受惠，加上扩大「自由行」计划，预料3月份交投转好。

外资代理行：整体写字楼空置率达14.7%

有外资代理行发表今年2月写字楼租赁市场报告指，去年IPO筹集资金按年跌55%，创自2001年以来最差表现，除了对冲基金和量化交易者在熊市中仍获利外，大部分金融公司不愿扩张业务。

相比之下，保险业受惠通关后业务增长，去年上半年积极扩张，内地游客保费下半年下降。儘管如此，全年590亿仍比2019年高36%。

九龙西空置率升至33.5%

九龙西有新写字楼项目完工，令该区空置率从8%大升至33.5%。整体空置率去年第四季达到14.7%，净空置面积共1030万方呎。甲厦租金按季跌1.7%，全年总计跌7.5%。企业资本支出升，装修可能达每方呎1500至2000元等。

展望未来，写字楼需求恢復速度不确定，在乐观的情景下，内地企业和新兴行业逐步进驻，可能出现类似于2011年至2019年情况，平均每年净租面积约130万方呎。

即使如此，预计到2027年年底，写字楼空置率将达到17%。相反，如果需求波动大，空置率可能在2027年超过20%，类似于2018年至2022年情况，平均每年净租面积只有50万方呎。

Home deals continue to rise but sellers still losing out

The number of new and second-hand property deals in Hong Kong rose for a second week on the trot over the weekend but some sellers who had held properties for six years or less remained at the losing end.

More than 1,500 new homes have been bought since the government removed all housing curbs on February 28, according to a local property agency.

Henderson Land Development (0012) sold all 30 flats on offer at The Holborn in Quarry Bay on Saturday, cashing in over HK$170 million, while its The Quinn Square Mile in Mong Kok recorded 14 deals worth over HK$91 million yesterday as well.

Over the past 10 days, the developer has sold at least 207 flats for around HK$1.4 billion.

In Fo Tan, The Arles built by Centralcon Properties saw 162 flats purchased in eight days, with 73 deals were recorded yesterday.

Meanwhile, Sino Land (0083) will put 17 more flats at One Soho in Mong Kok for sale on Wednesday, with the cheapest priced at HK$5.8 million after discounts.

And Lofter's Elize Park in Mong Kok will sell 14 flats by tender on Thursday.

The number of deals at the 10 major housing estates increased 48 percent weekly to 37, hitting a new high for more than three years, data from the agency showed.

Among the 10 estates, City One Shatin saw weekend transactions soar 150 percent weekly to 10, the most in about four years while Taikoo Shing in Quarry Bay reported five transactions.

However, South Horizons in Aberdeen and Metro City in Tseung Kwan O recorded no deals at all.

An agent said homebuyers are speeding up purchases as they fear that prices will rise soon.

Still, some homeowners took a hit on their sales.

A flat at Tsing Yi Garden in Tsing Yi sold for HK$3.85 million after the asking price was reduced by HK$830,000 leaving the seller, who had bought the property for HK$5.65 million in 2018, with a 32 percent or HK$1.8 million loss.

Also, a four-bed luxury home at Kadooria in Ho Man Tin went for HK$77 million with the seller suffering a 9 percent or HK$7.88 million loss, after holding the property for over four-and-a-half years.
