美聯指樓市「非理性亢奮」 中原﹕額外印花稅 樓盤價升量跌

美聯指樓市「非理性亢奮」 中原﹕額外印花稅 樓盤價升量跌
 (明報)2011年3月1日 星期二

【明報專訊】兩大龍頭物業代理行中原和美聯對當前熾熱的樓市都感到事不尋常,美聯集團    指樓市已處於「非理性亢奮」狀態,故放棄較早前今年全年樓價升11%的預測,暫時「唔估」樓價升跌。中原集團則認為,政府推出額外印花稅後,令業主更不願放售,造成「價升量跌」的畸形發展。

放棄再估樓市升跌

ZipRealty

美聯高級執行董事黃錦康表示,額外印花稅令業主更不願放盤,用家唯有以超高價入市,現時樓市已屬「非理性亢奮」。「預算案中公布每年料提供約3.54萬伙私樓應市,遠較1999至2004年期間、每年平均私樓供應約26,883伙為多,當時已因供應大增令樓價急轉直下,所以市場人士別當政府『無料到』。」

他又稱,每年逾3萬伙的供應有機會供大於求,若今年突然加息,後果可能比1997年八萬五更嚴重。

新鴻基    不同意:買家深思熟慮

中原亞太區董事總經理陳永傑指出,額外印花稅推出後,二手盤源屬近10年新低,但由於內地資金湧入,加上通脹持續,令香港物業市場需求不斷上升,造成二手價升量跌的畸形發展。

不過,他與美聯唱反調,稱預算案所提出的3.5萬伙新供應並非市場實質供應,加上現時購買力已不能與97年同日而語,故政府難重蹈八萬五覆轍。

就美聯指樓市「非理性亢奮」,新鴻基地產    (0016)副主席郭炳江昨在集團業績會上說,這與事實有出入。他說:「買家不是掃貨那種形式,係逐間逐間咁睇,傾好耐,我覺得佢口地係深思熟慮 。」

郭炳江表示,以最近售出的樓盤為例,超過九成以上買家都是香港人,可見內地資金對本地樓市影響有限。新鴻基地產副主席郭炳聯說,現時買家都是實用買家及長期投資者為主,加上有額外印花稅的措施,相信市場上短期炒家不多。

鄭家純促復建居屋

新世界發展    (0017)董事總經理鄭家純昨在業績會上表示,政府應制定長遠及連貫性的房屋發展政策,讓市場知道未來數年的供應量,畢竟就算賣地,亦需數年時間才可供應市場。他建議政府應取回土地供應的主動權,如定期賣地,並且希望政府能復建居屋及多建公屋,以解決中產及低收入人士住屋需求。他預計預算案出台後,由於沒有打壓樓市措施,中短線樓價及交投將會增加。

匯控(0005)行政總裁歐智華昨於業績公布會上亦表示,內地買家來港置業,或會衝擊本地樓市,但現時內地經濟仍保持快速增長,因此內地買家購買力仍然旺盛。他亦指出,雖然港府已推出冷卻措施,如額外印花稅等,但現時仍很難估計樓價何時轉向。

山頂豪宅天比高每呎9.6萬天價易手內地富豪 亞洲區最高呎價紀錄

天比高每呎9.6萬天價易手
 (星島)2011年6月9日 星期四 
(綜合報道)


(星島日報    報道)賣地前夕,山頂豪宅售價續攀上巔峰,菱電持有的山頂「天比高」最後一間洋房剛以每呎九萬六千三百六十二元天價成交,涉資八億元,成交呎價不但刷新全港豪宅新高,更晉身亞洲區最高呎價的紀錄,買家是市場炙手可熱的內地富豪。

  對於上址以天價成交,菱電副主席胡亮明昨日接受本報訪問時表示,該物業位處地段較特殊,擁有三百六十度迴環海景,望維港及南區景致,在本港可觀賞到上述景致的獨立屋相信少之又少,基本上「賣咗之後買唔番!」,他以「少少不捨得賣」來形容今番賣樓情況,不過,由於集團早前剛購入山頂普樂道八號法國    總領事館獨立屋,有它「填補空缺」(日後可發展類似的罕有獨立屋),故最終才願意割愛,否則絕對不會沽售。


  胡亮明:「少少不捨得賣」


  他並指出,早前拍賣場上有一幅名畫都以四億元成交,而同樣絕無僅有的這類超級豪宅,升值力自然大增。對於有地產界指,發展商曾以意向價十億元放售該洋房,胡亮明回應:「我們由頭到尾都從沒有放售物業,只不過是市場代理自行叫價搵客,今番是買家主動出價,並且只是在睇樓一次情況下便拍板。」雖然胡氏指未知買家身分,不過,有代理透露,上述洋房買家來自國內富豪。


  睇樓一次即扑槌


  上述為普樂道十號洋房,面積八千三百○二方呎,造價九萬六千三百六十二元易手,涉資約八億元,該洋房並設有花園、私人泳池及車房。菱電已收取一成訂金,成交日期為八月十二日。據悉該項目僅餘的十二號屋,將由周星馳    保留自用。


  菱電於上月底,斥五億八千萬元購入普樂道法國總領事館獨立屋,佔地約二萬二千四百四十四方呎,地積比為零點五倍,可重建樓面約一萬一千二百二十二方呎,平均樓面呎價約五萬一千多元,物業外觀更仿似一座小堡壘,外貌及內裏皆有獨特建築風格,景觀望維港及南區雙景,惟物業已被列為二級歷史建築物,重建亦受到一定限制。


  收訂一成 八月成交


  事實上,菱電與周星馳合作,在二○○四年三月以三億二千萬元購入天比高項目地皮,並發展為四幢洋房,當時樓面呎價一萬四千六百萬元,重建後四幢洋房,採前後排式設計,兩高兩低,每座樓高三層,前排為普樂道十六及十八號屋,後排兩座為十號及十二號。從事電子業務的商人朱慧恒於○七年中,以三億元購入十八號洋房,面積約七千三百方呎,平均呎價四萬一千元。


  內地富豪一擲八億


  及後於○八年九月,天比高十六號示範屋,由百營環球資源主席兼行政總裁施展望以三億八千萬購入,面積七千二百二十九方呎,每呎逾五萬二千五百元,最終因金融海嘯,在○九年七月取消交易,及後於九月份,該物業再由英國    商人以三億五千萬元購入。可見豪宅價格急升的情況下,天比高洋房價格已較兩年前「翻一番」。


  另外,市場消息指,南區大潭玫瑰園一幢單號屋,面積三千九百六十方呎,以一億二千五百萬元沽,呎價三萬一千五百餘元。

為子女置業 一代人供兩代樓

為子女置業 一代人供兩代樓
 (經濟日報)2011年5月17日 星期二

【經濟日報專訊】樓價破97年顛峰,人工卻追不上,愈來愈多70後和80後要靠父母才能圓買樓夢。有地產代理指現時近一半年輕置業人士,都由父母付首期,父母一代人供兩代樓愈見普及。

不過可憐父母心未必獲感恩,有獲免費單位的兒子嫌棄500呎太小,賣掉換大樓,傷了母親心,該母親歎謂:「這一代媽媽不易做!」

「我假假口地也是專業人士,沒理由住這裏…… 」70後兒子嫌樓價太低、衝口而出的這句話,這一次傷透林太(化名)的心。

子不懂感恩 傷透慈母心

林太第二次感心碎,是兒子說:「即使現在沒買樓,我們兩夫婦暫時租樓住,儲錢一段時間,沒有妳幫我們也是買得起的!」

工廠女工出身的林太坦言這一代媽媽不易做,因為她一代人供兩代樓,丈夫做工程,由80年代尾一家四口租住不足100平方呎的分租房,捱到買下500多平方呎小單位;再由細屋搬大屋,林說能擁有兩層樓是慳出來的成果

林太當初沒賣細屋,一心留給兒子結婚用。70後兒子早婚,5年前結婚時,細屋已斷供,市值200多萬元,林太辦轉名手續時連律師費也包辦,但未幾兒子便嫌細樓「不夠型格」,要賣樓當首期,轉買價值400多萬元的單位。

嫌棄單位細 賣掉換大屋

事實上,林太的兒子和媳婦都是專業人士,兩夫婦當年月入近4萬元,現時更已翻一倍。

問林太不幫兒子買樓又如何?林太說,就是上一代捱得辛苦,既然有能力,就想幫子女早置安樂窩,因為住是人生最重要的事,而且要等子女儲夠錢買樓,樓價可能已愈升愈高,怕追不上。林太說兒子和媳婦近年較學懂感恩,可能因眼見同事為樓而煩,他們相對輕鬆,終知父母好。

林太還有一個80後女兒,也是專業人士,月入近3萬元,近日正物色小單位,她已準備好數十萬元首期要幫女兒一把,以公平對待子女。

美聯物業    營業董事郭玉滿指,粗略估計,現時近一半年輕置業人士,都是父母付首期,「父母會提到是他們付首期,讓子女供樓儲下錢,所以不要買太貴。」有父母出手的交易,較常見是買400多萬元的單位,以鐵路沿線大型屋苑為主,貪其保值,年輕人又愛有會所,她說父母通常都為子女付一半首期。

樓價超越97 入息反落後

據差餉    物業估價署資料,今年3月樓價指數已比97年超越14.6%,反觀統計處數字,15至24歲及25至34歲青年人,入息中位數仍比97年落後。

有職業媽媽以「窮媽媽富媽媽」為名在網上交流心得,她接受訪問時指現在世界艱難,為讓孩子吃少點苦,也就盡能力幫一把。她的目標是賺夠錢可以退休去,但為了子女,應不能太早退休了。
