疫情衝擊香港經濟，甲級寫字樓租金、呎價急跌，當中金鐘遠東金融中心低層全層最新2.376億元沽出，呎價僅見2.2萬元，創逾8年最低呎價。
寫字樓造價跌 全層2.376億沽
據市場消息指，單位全層面積約10,800平方呎，最新獲用家以2.376億元購入作自用，呎價約2.2萬元，較去年6月成交低層呎價4.2萬元，暴跌一半；如果比起2018年高峰期呎價6.1萬元，兩年間更是暴跌逾6成。將會是2012年2月一個中層單位呎價約2萬元後，逾8年新低水平。
據了解，新買家在上個月《施政報告》就非住宅雙倍印花稅「撤辣」前購入，故須支付8.5%印花稅，金額高達2,019.6萬元，即較撤辣後比多一千萬元。
該層物業原業主據悉為三菱日聯租賃，自1985年至1987年分階段買入全層，共涉資2,594.29萬元，持貨逾33年，帳面賺逾2.11億元離場，升值超過8倍。
樓上董事 3231萬入市新港中心
另外，土地註冊處資料顯示，尖沙咀新港中心2座中層12室，以3,230.76萬元成交，以面積2,071平方呎計，呎價約1.56萬元。新買家為良勢有限公司 (TREND NICE CORPORATION LIMITED)，其董事為侯君俠 (HAU KWAN HAP) 及侯君剛 (HAU KWAN KONG)，與樓上燕窩莊的兩名董事同名。
事實上，兩人於去年曾以公司名義買入同層的3至5室，當時的成交價為1.28億元，面積合共5,338平方呎，呎價約2.4萬元，創項目呎價新高紀錄，相隔只是一年多時間，今次買入呎價卻大跌35%。

遠東金融中心4樓全層逾2億沽 呎價8年低
市場消息指出，金鐘遠東金融中心4樓全層，建築面積約10800方呎，以約2.376億元易手，呎價約2.2萬元，為大廈近8年呎價新低。
據悉，單位早前曾推出以暗標形式放售，指引呎價為3萬元，故現時大減降價26.7%沽出。不過，據悉有交易在上月底工商舖落實撤銷非住宅物業雙倍從價印花稅 (DSD) 前促成，故需要繳付2019.6萬元稅款。
根據土地註冊處資料顯示，原業主於1985至1987年合共以2594.3萬元購入，持貨35年，賬面獲利2.11657億元，大幅升值8.2倍。

信德中心單位4426萬沽 減辣後首宗成交
《施政報告》提出撤銷非住宅物業雙倍印花稅 (DSD)，對工商舖物業交投有正面影響，港島甲級商廈市場錄得「減辣」後首宗成交。市場消息指出，上環信德中心西翼18樓9室，建築面積1383方呎，以4425.6萬元售出，呎價3.2萬元，與去年4月同廈單位成交呎價相若，即重返社會事件爆發前水平。
由於交易在「減辣」後促成，故此只需繳付376.176萬元印花稅，新買家節省一半支出。
資料顯示，單位原業主2008年5月以1900萬元購入上址，不過在今年內曾向靄華信貸及貸輕鬆兩間財務公司借貸最少2800萬元，現沽出賬面獲利2525.6萬元，升值1.3倍。

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.
