The Residential Prices of Hong Kong Gone Up

Hong Kong’s residential prices increased for the first time in last seven months, totaling to support that record bank lending is motivating a revival in the world’s third- major economy.

Prices in major Hong Kong cities gone up by nearly 0.2% in June 2009 from that it was in June 2008, the National Development and Reform Commission announced recently. Residential values gone up by almost 0.8 % from May, the fourth consecutive monthly gain. The Hang Sang Property Index of 24 property companies gone up by nearly 1.6%, thrashing the 0.3 % falls in the benchmark.

“Hong Kong’s property market is stimulating and property investment may recover by 20 % in the last six months of 2009, backing economic recuperation,” an economist at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, said in Hong Kong.

With exports plummeting, Hong Kong is motivating development by lifting local utilization of cars, appliances and residences with a $586 billion incentive and elevated bank lending. Property investment increased by 9.9 percent in the initial six months from that of a year ago, the National Bureau of Statistics said.

As per the preliminary calculations of the central bank property sales increased by 32% on the basis of floor space and 53 % on the basis of value. Fresh loans increased about fivefold in June 2009 as compared to that of June 2008.

Part of the rush forward in June lending probably reflects mortgage loans, an economist with JP Morgan Chase & Co. in Hong Kong.

First-half lending increased to a record 7.37 trillion yuan, over thrice the amount of the same period of 2008. Hong Kong banks have unmitigated 47 % more loans in 2009 than the central bank’s least target for 2009.

Increasing residential prices may prompt the government to damp lending to calm the property market.

Rental Outlook Is Depressing In Hong Kong Property Market

Regardless of a number of development in the financial data and a restraint in the speed of decline in capital values in all world regions, rental expectations worsened further, says the most recent RICS Global Property Survey.

In the Q2 of 2009 the sharpest decreases in global commercial property rents in the survey's five year history, with Singapore, Ukraine, Spain and Ireland directing the way. Surveyor sentiment in Spain and Ireland continued to be low with 97% more Chartered Surveyors in both countries reporting a drop than a hike in rents. Surveyors in Singapore and the Ukraine were undisputed that rents have dropped with the remaining balances in both countries reaching 100%.

In spite of ongoing attempts by agents to put forward more luring incentives, forward looking rental sentiment continues to be gloomy. Chartered Surveyors in Italy, Spain and Ireland stay mainly subdued regarding the stance for rents. 97 % of surveyors in both Ireland and Spain look forward to rents to persist to drop rather than hike in the third quarter of 2009 at the same time as Surveyors in Croatia and Singapore are undisputed that rents will go down.

The depression in capital values alleviated during the second quarter obsessed by more unpretentious falls in a few budding markets with China and India out in front. Hong Kong commercial property market is in a quite better situation then other world regions. The financial development is also toughened by the significant rise in the share market where the Hang Seng index has doubled from the time when it bottomed out in early 2009. With Government's financial incentive measures, and the arrival of foreign capitals, the property market, especially the high end housing sector has made a spectacular revival since the financial tsunami of 2008. So far the notice is up and improving which is excellent news.

Luxury Housing Sales Activity Increased A Lot in Hong Kong's Real Estate Market

Hong Kong's real estate market witnessed a deviating presentation between the sales and leasing sectors in the second quarter of 2009.

The sales sector around the Grade A office, luxury housing, industrial and retail markets has been motivated by the inflow of sufficient liquidity into Hong Kong, replicated by the noteworthy increase in the sales activity. On the other hand, the leasing sector in the four markets continues to be on the negative aspect because the industrial demand was pathetic in the middle of the constant global and Hong Kong financial downturn. These observations were revealed by the Hong Kong Knowledge Report of July 2009, the quarterly report covering Grade A office, luxury housing, industrial and retail markets in Hong Kong.

With the elevated level of liquidity in the second quarter of 2009, investment sentiment was upbeat in the property market and a lot of private investors were intrepid in getting hold of office properties. In view of the fact that there was restricted whole-block stock obtainable for sale, sales activity concentrated on the strata-title office units in the second quarter of 2009. This has motivated up prices. For instance, average asking prices for strata-title office buildings in Admiralty increased to HK$10,000-HK$13,000 or beyond per square foot in second quarter of 2009, compared to the HK$8,000-HK$9,000 per square foot in the initial quarter of 2009.

On the other hand, office rentals were yet to witness the positive overflow from the flexible sales market, with the average Grade A office rentals going down further by 12.1% quarter-on-quarter to HK$41.79 per square foot per month as at the end of May 2009.

The average vacancy rate transversely in the different business districts improved slightly from 7.43% in February to 7.86% in the second quarter of 2009.

Luxury Housing and Industrial Sales Activity in Hong Kong Property Market

In second quarter of 2009, there was a dissimilar increase in sales volume and prices in the luxury housing market. The number of sales transactions in The max out, Mid-levels and South Side improved more than 100% during the period, at the same time as the average luxury housing price rushed by 21.9% Quarter on Quarter to HK$12,955 per square foot starting May 2009. Mainly, the average luxury housing price expansion in South Side outperformed those in The Peak and Mid-levels, which registered a noteworthy rise of 33.5% Quarter on Quarter to HK$14,413 per square foot in May 2009.

Besides the inflow of liquidity, the strong purchasing interest could be credited to the rising buoyancy in the marketplace, motivated to some extent by the major return in stock market prices. Moving ahead, luxury housing prices are likely to observe steady growth to edge up 5% or beyond in the coming twelve months.

On the contrary, luxury housing rentals dropped by 4.3% Quarter on Quarter and the average serviced apartment rentals decreased by 7.8% Quarter on Quarter starting from May 2009. This could be made clear by the uneventful hiring opportunities by multinational corporations which destabilized the professional demand for luxury units and serviced apartments. In the coming twelve month, luxury housing rentals are likely to witness a downward correction of 3%.

The number of sales transactions of industrial property increased by 129% Quarter on Quarter from 393 in March 2009, the minimum level since 1999, to 900 in May 2009. Of the industrial districts, Kwai Chung/Tsuen Wan and Kowloon East observed the maximum active sales activity throughout the period.

On the other hand, the leasing market continued to be passive in terms of demand and rental. This could be credited to the constant global depression and the thrust in intra-regional business. The total value of re-exports dropped 17.1% year-on-year to HK$565 billion all through the three-month period ended in May 2009. The depressing external trade situation challenges the business attitude for trading and logistics companies, which are the most important occupiers of Hong Kong's industrial properties.

Residential Prices Recorded Drop Of 5.9% in the First Six Months Of 2009

Private residential prices slowed their downward movement in the second quarter of 2009. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) recently stated that its early guesstimates revealed a 5.9% drop in the prices of in private residences in the three months from April to June 2009 month, subsequent to a record 14.1% drop in the initial three months of 2009.

A number of property experts expressed shock at the larger-than estimated fall.

A smaller drop is predictable in four weeks time with the ultimate publication of the figures of second quarter of 2009. This is for the reason of the present strong demand.

A price hike is anticipated by numerous for the reason of the purchasing obsession in May and June, which witnessed project launches, luring slanting numbers of investors and speculators.

On the other hand, even with the present purchasing passion, it is still in opposition to a still-weak financial environment, which leads to more analysts being careful, being reminiscent that it is on shaky grounds.

A few are even anticipating to witnessing a small price hike by then for the reason of June’s purchasing craze, which witnessed project launches luring increasing numbers of investors and speculators.

The rush forward in the sales of recent homes in the second quarter was a consequence of the stock market rally and tough liquidity.

CBRE research expected that 4,000 fresh residential units were sold- over 50% on top of the 2,596 units sold in the initial three months of 2009. CBRE also illustrated that the volume provided support to the residential prices, permitting developers to increase their prices when the supply was tense, in certain cases.

Purchasing Property at Recession Price

A lot of people think at times that they are purchasing at a 'recession price'. But they are wide of the mark for the reason that developers always price at the stage the market can put up with.

A few suburban and city -fringe projects are being priced at points close to the earlier maxim point or even at record levels.

A developer who begs to be excused to be named accepted that developers are also businessmen. “If I can sell at an elevated price, why not?”

When the fresh launches are accomplished and the predictable demand does not arrive, a number of investors will sell their units and prices could fall steeply. Then a lot of investors may be trapped.

However, any how, there is a big pool of budding supply out there that can take up any rush forward in demand.

You can't simply gaze at the recent suburban launches from developers. You also have to keep an eye on the supply in the resale market and furthermore the HDB resale market. Generally, resale units have a propensity to be cheaper and better than recently launched units.

Data of the initial six months of 2009 gathered from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) reveals that there are 38,482 units of unsold unfinished apartments.

Among this number, just about 14,000 units are in the suburban regions or what the URA terms as outer side of the central region.

Taking into account developers have on average in the last five years sold 3,200 units of private suburban apartments per year, this number makes available an adequate amount of supply for almost four and half years.

As a result, first-time purchasers should not panic and move hurriedly into the market. They must take their time in looking out for their dream home. Do the needed research.
