投資氣氛淡靜 1月商廈價量齊跌

報告指，1月份整體商廈買賣交投跌3成，而甲廈租售價同樣下挫。

據一間本港代理行發表的商廈市場報告指出，上月商廈投資市場表現淡靜，1月份商廈註冊宗數錄41宗，按月下跌約32.8%，而成交金額共錄4.07億元，按月下跌92.9%。分散業權甲廈租售價分別按月下跌約0.5%及2.1%，乙廈租售價分別按月下跌約0.4%及上升約0.7%。

尖沙咀力寶太陽廣場 錄3買賣

上月50大指標甲廈成交量錄7宗，矚目的成交包括有位於九龍灣億京中心A座低層的大額交易，成交金額約3,920萬元，涉及面積約4,197平方呎，平均呎價約9,340元，略低於區市場水平。除上述成交外，其他分層商廈成交集中於尖沙咀、葵涌區域。位於尖沙咀的力寶太陽廣場，上月錄得3宗成交。

據悉，「木器大王」傅世彪家族連環出售力寶太陽廣場商廈單位，包括8樓7室，面積約3,275平方呎，以約4,257.5萬元易手，呎價約1.3萬元，他於2013年斥4,323萬元購入單位，帳面虧損65.5萬元。另同廈11樓6室，面積約1,440平方呎，以約1,700萬元易手，呎價約1.18萬元，持貨逾11年帳面蝕393.8萬元。

租賃成交方面，上月中環甲廈連環錄得金融行業或外資的大手租務成交個案。中環國際金融中心二期62樓全層，獲基金公司富蘭克林鄧普頓以月租約299萬元承租，用於擴充業務，涉及面積約2.3萬平方呎，呎租約130元。同時，中環遮打大廈17樓全層獲美資基金 Jane Street 以每月約180萬元承租，面積約1.8萬平方呎，呎租約100元。

環球貿易廣場全層 成交呎租近70元

除了傳統商業區外，九龍站錄得大手長租個案，環球貿易廣場 (ICC) 高層全層，獲香港按揭證券公司以月租約248萬元承租，涉及面積約3.55萬平方呎，呎租約69.9元。盡管現時市場較為淡靜，但優質甲廈仍然受市場追捧，加上現時空置率較高，租戶議價空間較大。

該行指，上月的交投市場在臨近農曆新年的節日氛圍下逐漸淡靜。同時，市場也開始期待即將在2月底公布的新一份《財政預算案》可能推出新一輪提振樓市的措施。由於樓市買賣雙方對於政府的政策方向尚不明確，交易活動相對較為保守。在這種情況下，投資市場顯得相對平靜，交投活動在低位徘徊。整體而言，1月份的買賣市場呈現出較為謹慎的態度，投資者普遍在等待更明確的政策方向和市場趨勢。

Hong Kong homeowners face losses of nearly HK$10 million in second-hand market as price decline continues

In January, the secondary market saw 419 loss-making transactions, the highest since March 2023

A three-bedroom flat in Ho Man Tin recently sold for 38 per cent below what the seller paid in September 2018, a HK$9.62 million (US$1.2 million) loss

Homeowners in Hong Kong are grappling with substantial losses at the beginning of the year as the city’s property prices have experienced a decline for eight consecutive months.

The real estate market has been smothered under a softening economy and high interest rates. The recent stock market slump has further dampened market sentiment, leading flat owners who want to cash in to slash prices to secure sales, property agents say.

One example is Mantin Heights in Ho Man Tin, where a three-bedroom, 865 sq ft flat recently sold for HK$15.85 million (US$2 million), equivalent to HK$18,324 per square foot. This price represents a significant drop of 38 per cent, or HK$9.62 million, from what the seller paid in September 2018. A local property agency facilitated the transaction.

In January, the secondary market saw 419 loss-making transactions, the highest since March 2023 and equal to 27.77 per cent of total second-hand transactions recorded for the month.

Additionally, 89 loss-making cases have been recorded so far this month, or 32.48 per cent of total secondary-market sales, according to another agent.

“The Hang Seng Index once fell to below 15,000, and that hit market sentiment,” the agent said.

Home prices fell about 1.4 per cent in December, the eighth consecutive monthly decline, pulling the official index to a level last seen in January 2017, according to data compiled by the Rating and Valuation Department.

The decline in home prices has doubled the number of people in negative equity – where property value has slumped below their mortgage balance – to 25,163 cases valued at HK$131.3 billion at the end of December, compared with 11,123 cases worth HK$59.3 billion three months earlier.

However, the agent expects homeowners will be more reluctant to sell at big losses later this year as buyers gradually return to the market in anticipation of falling interest rates.

The number of property transactions, including both residential and non-residential units, surged 17 per cent in January to 4,399 deals from a month ago, hitting a post-August high, according to official data from the government’s Land Registry. The statistics generally relate to transactions executed up to four weeks before their submission for registration.

In the secondary market, home sales increased 23 per cent month on month in January, with 2,161 deals recorded, according to another property agency.

The surge comes amid the US Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates steady on February 1, the fifth time since September, pushing back the timeline for rate cuts.
