According to recent data from Centaline Property Agency Ltd., Hong Kong experienced its most significant drop in secondhand home prices in eight months. The decline, which occurred in the week ending April 7, saw a 1.5 percent decrease compared to the previous week. This reversal follows a period of consecutive price growth after the Hong Kong government lifted property curbs.
The primary factor contributing to this decline is the introduction of new projects by property developers in the primary market. These developers have been offering competitive prices, attracting buyers away from the secondary market. Centaline Property Agency Ltd. stated that the availability of newly developed residential projects at lower prices has garnered significant attention, resulting in reduced sales in the secondary market.
One notable example is CK Asset Holdings Ltd., which sold over 200 units in its Blue Coast project within a mere five hours. The demand for these apartments was over 50 times higher than the available units, and their prices were at least 20 percent lower than nearby competitors.
This recent development in Hong Kong's housing market indicates a shift in buyer preferences towards newly developed properties in the primary market. As a result, the secondary market has experienced a decline in sales and subsequent drop in used home prices.
香港二手房價格出現八個月最大跌幅
根據中原置地物業代理有限公司的最新數據，香港的二手房價格出現八個月以來的最大跌幅。截至4月7日的那一周，二手房價格較前一周下降了1.5％。這是在香港政府取消房地產限制措施後連續價格上升的逆轉。
導致這一跌幅的主要因素是一系列新項目的推出，由房地產開發商在一級市場提供競爭性價格吸引買家。中原置地物業代理有限公司在聲明中表示，新開發的住宅項目以較低的價格引起了廣泛關注，從而導致二手市場的銷量減少。
其中一個值得注意的例子是長江實業集團有限公司，在其新的藍海項目中，在短短五小時內售出了200多個單位。這些公寓的需求超過了可用單位的50倍以上，價格至少比附近競爭對手低20％。
香港房地產市場的最新發展表明，買家偏好一級市場中新開發的物業。因此，二手市場的銷量下降，二手房價格也相應下跌。
