工商鋪錄451宗註冊 代理行：創9個月新高

有代理行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示，3月份工商鋪註冊量，為自2022年6月來最多，共錄451宗，按月急升約68.3%，金額錄58.33億，按月升約78.7%。

目前工商鋪價格低位徘徊，投資者信心恢復，相信「撈底」增加，各板塊上升，商廈表現最好，註冊量按月飆升1.5倍至110宗，工廈亦不俗，最新錄240宗註冊，大升約84.6%。商鋪表現平穩，3月錄101宗登記，按月升約7.4%。

逾億註冊維持平穩

若按金額劃分，3月份註冊量升幅最多的為價值逾500萬以上至1000萬物業，按月激增約1.1倍至101宗，其次為逾1000萬至2000萬及逾5000萬元以上至1億物業，按月分別急升約86.5%及62.5%，至69宗和13宗登記。逾億買賣維持有4宗，商廈及鋪位各2宗，包括有長沙灣南商金融創新中心27樓9個單位，以及旺角砵蘭街450至454號HQ全幢，作價分別為2.41億及3.5億，商鋪則包括有旺角商業大廈地下至4樓多個鋪位及屯門城點基座商場，金額分別3.5億及4.4億。

中細價物業主導市場

該行代理表示，由於美國通脹回落幅度緩慢，相信高息環境持續，大手物業保持淡靜，對於資金充裕的投資者而言，仍有能力買入中低價物業。 疫市下，工商鋪價格大幅回落，目前仍低位徘徊，隨着中港通關和香港復常，投資者趁勢「撈底」。

官地價跌吸引 財團減慢舊樓收購

強拍申請首季僅2宗 按季少5成

雖然2023年社會已復常，但今年首季僅錄2宗強拍申請，按年大幅減半，某程度反映發展商有見地價下跌而減慢舊樓收購步伐。同時，自去年第三季起，有4宗強拍申請於12個月內迅速獲批，獲批速度有加快的趨勢。測量師認為，這反映政府加房屋供應的決心。

土地審裁處於本年首季度合共接獲2宗強拍申請，分別於1月及2月份所錄得。以區域劃分，全數申請均位於港島區，而且屬小型項目，兩者地盤面積介乎4,000至近5,000平方呎，現況市值逾2億元。

若與去年同期相比，強拍申請按年減少2宗，即50%。而去年首季度的申請大部分位於鴨脷洲，並全於2月、即第5波疫情肆虐期間所錄得。

業界料今年申請 較去年22宗少

有測量師認為，由於近期地價下跌，發展商從而較傾向購買政府地，而且樓價有反彈迹象，小業主未必容易接受收購價，故首季強拍申請減少，並料今年全年的申請宗數會較去年22宗更少。

除了申請宗數按年大減外，翻查2022年統計數字，由強拍申請日至成功獲批強拍計，普遍需時約1至4年，惟由去年8月起至今，共有4宗強拍申請可在1年內 (約7至10個月) 獲批強拍，當中萬科香港收購的牛頭角定富街71至79號項目需時最短，需時僅約7個月。至於今年首季獲批的數宗強拍申請中，樂風等收購的鴨脷洲好景街26、28號及平瀾街2號舊樓，則需時約9個月，可見近期排期聆訊時間有縮短的趨勢。

該測量師又認為，這反映土地審裁處的效率增加，以配合政府提速、提效、提量的房屋政策，加快本港房屋供應量。

Developers keep rolling out flats at a rapid pace

Wheelock Properties has released the third batch of 48 homes at Koko Mare in Lam Tin with an average discounted price of HK$19,284 per square foot, 1.7 percent higher than the last one.

Half of the units in the batch are with one bedroom while the other half come with two bedrooms. With sizes ranging from 310 sq ft to 500 sq ft, they are priced between HK$5.88 million and HK$9.7 million after discounts, or between HK$17,708 and HK$20,645 per sq ft.

The developer said the arrangement for the second round of sales will be announced soon.

Managing director Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu said Miami Quay I, Wheelock's project with Henderson Land Development (0012), New World Development (0017), and Empire Group in Kai Tak, has sold 49 homes for over HK$480 million and a new price list may be unveiled after Easter.

In Tai Kok Tsui, Chevalier International (0025) will put five more homes at Sablier on the market next Monday, all of which are below HK$6 million.

In Ngau Tau Kok, eight flats at The Aperture will be put up for tender on Saturday, the developer Hang Lung Properties (0101) said. All of them come with three bedrooms and an area of 771 sq ft.

In Pak Shek Kok, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said it may release the sales brochure for University Hill next week at the earliest and the first price list is expected to be unveiled at the end of this month.

The project provides 607 homes from 250 sq ft to 650 sq ft with studio to two-bedroom units accounting for 80 percent of the total.

On the luxury front, a 7,042-sq-ft house at Mount Nicholson on the Peak will be open for tender next Thursday.

It has a 2,715-sq-ft garden, a 1,970-sq-ft yard, and a parking space of 2,088 sq ft.

The project was co-developed by Nan Fung Group and The Wharf (0004), with Wheelock Properties responsible for sales.

Separately, the Lands Department has trimmed the compensation rates for resumed land in the New Territories amid falling property prices.

The compensation for agricultural land resumed for development uses has been cut by 13 percent to HK$1,267 per sq ft from last October, and that for building land to valuation plus HK$2,514 per sq ft.

Luxury villa at Hong Kong’s The Peak up for tender, could fetch as much as US$122.5 million

The 7,042 sq ft property at 8 Mount Nicholson Road has been developed by Wharf Holdings and Nan Fung Group

Luxury residential market expected to keep up momentum and post even stronger growth in the second quarter, Colliers executive says

A 7,042 sq ft villa at The Peak, Hong Kong’s most exclusive address, is up for tender on April 13, according to Wheelock Properties.

The property in the ultra-exclusive enclave of Mount Nicholson at 8 Mount Nicholson Road has been developed by Wharf Holdings and Nan Fung Group. Wheelock is the sole agent for the sale.

The attempt to sell the four-bedroom unit – expected to fetch as much as HK$961.5 million (US$122.5 million) – comes at a time of marginal improvement in Hong Kong’s luxury property segment on the back of a full reopening of the city’s and mainland China’s borders, the end of strict Covid-19 restrictions and the stabilisation of interest rates.

“The range of the price for the house could be anywhere between HK$86,340 and HK$136,544 per square foot, based on sales last year,” a surveyor said.

Hong Kong’s residential market is seeing a marked improvement, with the number of transactions rising 40.3 per cent month on month to 4,282 in February, according to a property agency, which cited official data. Primary sales supported overall market sentiment, surging 80.4 per cent month on month to 655 deals. The overall home price index also rose by 0.6 per cent in January, according to official data.

The demand for property has surged in Hong Kong amid hopes that the city has reached a peak in terms of interest rate increases.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority in March raised the city’s base rate to a 15-year high of 5.25 per cent, after the US Federal Reserve increased its target rate by a quarter point to a range of 4.75 per cent to 5 per cent. However, Hong Kong’s major lenders did not follow suit. HSBC and Bank of China (Hong Kong) kept their best lending rates unchanged at 5.625 per cent, while Standard Chartered kept its prime rate unchanged at 5.875 per cent.

The pause in lending rates by the city’s three currency-issuing banks has boosted hopes that homebuying activity will continue to increase in the coming months, as mortgage rates are likely to stabilise. Sales of new and lived-in homes could hit 66,000 units this year, up nearly 50 per cent from 2022, according to market observers.

“Since the full border reopening earlier this year, the Hong Kong luxury residential market has seen signs of recovery across both transactions and leasing,” a property agent said. “Driven by mainland buyers, transactions in the primary market have gained momentum, with transaction prices holding up strongly.

“For example, a few new projects in Kowloon have recorded transaction prices of over HK$50,000 per square foot. The ultra high-end market has also seen improved sentiment, with multiple single-lot houses reaching final stages of negotiations. We expect the luxury residential market to keep up the momentum and post even stronger growth in the second quarter.”

The surveyor on the other hand, pointed to some “sluggishness” in the luxury property market.

Earlier this year, a four-bedroom luxury home in Mount Nicholson resold at an estimated loss of about HK$130 million. The home, in one of the most expensive luxury developments in Hong Kong, set a record for Asia when it sold for HK$519.9 million in 2019. It sold on January 27 to a buyer named “Yu Ye” for HK$390 million, about 25 per cent below the price “Li Jun” paid for it, according to official records.
