疫情冲击香港经济，甲级写字楼租金、呎价急跌，当中金鐘远东金融中心低层全层最新2.376亿元沽出，呎价仅见2.2万元，创逾8年最低呎价。
写字楼造价跌 全层2.376亿沽
据市场消息指，单位全层面积约10,800平方呎，最新获用家以2.376亿元购入作自用，呎价约2.2万元，较去年6月成交低层呎价4.2万元，暴跌一半；如果比起2018年高峰期呎价6.1万元，两年间更是暴跌逾6成。将会是2012年2月一个中层单位呎价约2万元后，逾8年新低水平。
据了解，新买家在上个月《施政报告》就非住宅双倍印花税「撤辣」前购入，故须支付8.5%印花税，金额高达2,019.6万元，即较撤辣后比多一千万元。
该层物业原业主据悉为三菱日联租赁，自1985年至1987年分阶段买入全层，共涉资2,594.29万元，持货逾33年，帐面赚逾2.11亿元离场，升值超过8倍。
楼上董事 3231万入市新港中心
另外，土地註册处资料显示，尖沙咀新港中心2座中层12室，以3,230.76万元成交，以面积2,071平方呎计，呎价约1.56万元。新买家为良势有限公司 (TREND NICE CORPORATION LIMITED)，其董事为侯君侠 (HAU KWAN HAP) 及侯君刚 (HAU KWAN KONG)，与楼上燕窝庄的两名董事同名。
事实上，两人于去年曾以公司名义买入同层的3至5室，当时的成交价为1.28亿元，面积合共5,338平方呎，呎价约2.4万元，创项目呎价新高纪录，相隔只是一年多时间，今次买入呎价却大跌35%。

远东金融中心4楼全层逾2亿沽 呎价8年低
市场消息指出，金鐘远东金融中心4楼全层，建筑面积约10800方呎，以约2.376亿元易手，呎价约2.2万元，为大厦近8年呎价新低。
据悉，单位早前曾推出以暗标形式放售，指引呎价为3万元，故现时大减降价26.7%沽出。不过，据悉有交易在上月底工商铺落实撤销非住宅物业双倍从价印花税 (DSD) 前促成，故需要缴付2019.6万元税款。
根据土地註册处资料显示，原业主于1985至1987年合共以2594.3万元购入，持货35年，账面获利2.11657亿元，大幅升值8.2倍。

信德中心单位4426万沽 减辣后首宗成交
《施政报告》提出撤销非住宅物业双倍印花税 (DSD)，对工商铺物业交投有正面影响，港岛甲级商厦市场录得「减辣」后首宗成交。市场消息指出，上环信德中心西翼18楼9室，建筑面积1383方呎，以4425.6万元售出，呎价3.2万元，与去年4月同厦单位成交呎价相若，即重返社会事件爆发前水平。
由于交易在「减辣」后促成，故此只需缴付376.176万元印花税，新买家节省一半支出。
资料显示，单位原业主2008年5月以1900万元购入上址，不过在今年内曾向靄华信贷及贷轻鬆两间财务公司借贷最少2800万元，现沽出账面获利2525.6万元，升值1.3倍。

乐风斥3.05亿统一南京街旧楼业权
乐风集团以3.05亿购入佐敦南京街11至13号全数业权，楼面呎价约9182元，总投资额约5.8亿，将作甲厦发展。
乐风集团创办人及主席周佩贤表示，项目总投资额约5.8亿，计画兴建甲厦项目。环顾该区过去12年没有全新写字楼供应，加上区内交通配套不俗，故对项目发展具信心。

Hong Kong’s strict Covid-19 social distancing rule spoils mood for homebuyers, bringing streak of sell-out weekends to an end
MinMetals Land, the real estate subsidiary of one of China’s largest metallurgical producers, sold 60 of 161 apartments at its Montego Bay project in Yau Tong as of 5:30pm
In Yuen Long, Road King failed to find a single buyer for the 51 flats at its Crescent Green project
Hong Kong’s streak of sell-out weekends of residential property ended when two developers sold fewer than a third of the combined 212 flats on offer in two districts, as the city’s strictest social distancing measures to date dampened sentiments.
MinMetals Land, the real estate subsidiary of one of China’s largest metallurgical producers, sold 60 of 161 apartments at its Montego Bay project in Yau Tong as of 5:30pm, sales agents said. In Yuen Long, Road King failed to find a single buyer for the 51 flats at its Crescent Green project.
The dismal result followed a surge in coronavirus pandemic infections in Hong Kong, which kept more potential buyers at home and away from the sales venue, agent said. Earlier in the week, city authorities tightened social distancing rules to contain the spread of the disease, limiting public gatherings to only two people at a time.
Hong Kong reported 101 confirmed infections on Saturday (yesterday), bringing the city’s total accumulated tally to 6,802 cases since the outbreak began, with 112 fatalities.
“More people are choosing to stay at home amid the tightened social distancing measures, so it’s not surprising that home sales have turned sour,” the agent said. “The fourth wave has made people worried.”
The sales slump was a blow to developers, who had reported several consecutive sell-out weekends in October and early November when daily cases of new infections fell in Hong Kong. New World Developments, one of the city’s largest developers, sold almost 2,100 flats at The Pavilia Farm project in Tai Wai within two months of launching, for a total haul estimated at HK$23.8 billion (US$3.07 billion).
MinMetals Land had a fleeting taste of success before Hong Kong’s latest social distancing rules, finding buyers for 93 per cent of the first 279 flats released for sale at Montego Bay last weekend. Prices at the first batch of Montego Bay started at HK$4.9 million, or HK$15,964 per square foot, going up to HK$18.5 million with a 20 per cent discount. The apartments start from 271 square feet for one-bedroom flats to three-bedroom units measuring 832 sq ft.
In response to the worsening fourth wave, Hong Kong’s government restricted public gatherings to only two people at a time, reduced restaurant dine-in hours, closed more entertainment venues, and instructed civil servants to work from home. Local authorities raised the fines for non-compliance and even set up a hotline for the public to report offenders.
Agents at real estate sales rooms were also required to observe social distancing, and are limited to two customers per agent, with one and half metres between every consultation cluster.
“Developers will slow down their marketing efforts this month,” agent said, adding that Henderson Land Development, Wheelock Properties and Chinachem have postponed their sales launches. “They may not start the sales arrangement next year.”
That would make December a slow month, with 1,300 homes changing hands in the whole city according to Chan’s estimates, half of November’s sales. Next year could see an improvement in the housing market, as more first-home buyers are likely to take advantage of low mortgage rates to commit to their first big-ticket purchases, analysts said.
“There is a lot of capital flowing in the markets and interest rates remain low, so prospective buyers will continue to enter the market once the current outbreak is under control,” agent said.
