(Reporters Yan Lunle, Yin Kaoling) Recently, the focus of the primary market has been on "MIAMI QUAY I" in Kai Tak. The project has been collecting tickets since last Saturday and the demonstration units have been opened for public viewing. The number of tickets collected has exceeded 5 times. . The developer expects to launch additional units in the short term, and will increase the price by about 5% to 10%. Since there were no large-scale new sales in the past weekend, only about 20 first-hand transactions were recorded in the two-day market.
MIAMI QUAY I is jointly developed by Wheelock, Henderson Land, New World and Empire. The first price list was announced last Friday, involving 130 units, including open-plan to three-bedroom units. The actual average price per square foot was $22,452. Huang Guangyao, managing director of Wheelock Properties, pointed out that the project had received more than 500 votes on Saturday, which was nearly three times oversubscribed in terms of the first price list. It is expected that no less than 10% of the units, that is, 65 units, will be added in the short term, with a price increase of about 5% to 10%, or the largest 3-bedroom unit with an area of 716 square feet will be added. It is expected that the first round of sales will be held during the Mid-Autumn Festival. As for the unique unit of the sky, which only provides one group, it has received about 10 groups of inquiries from customers, and it is inclined to be sold by tender.
As of 2:00 p.m. yesterday, more than 10,000 people visited the demonstration unit. Huang Guangyao said that the ticket buyers are mainly young buyers and small families, and they are interested in one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. Users account for about 70-80%, and investors account for about 20-30%.
Pandemic inspections reduce second-hand transactions
On the other hand, the epidemic in Hong Kong has heated up again, the activity of property inspection has decreased, and the first-hand market continued to dominate, resulting in unsatisfactory second-hand transactions on the first weekend of September (September 3-4). Among them, Lijia Court recorded 9 second-hand transaction cases in the top ten housing estates, the same as last week. Liao Weiqiang, president of Lijia Court Real Estate, said yesterday that the new crown epidemic continues, and the number of confirmed cases in a single day is repeated at a high of 10,000, which makes buyers cautious in entering the market.
In addition, the top ten housing estates of Centaline Real Estate recorded 8 transactions over the weekend, hitting a 5-week low, down 11% from the previous week. Midland Properties recorded 10 transactions, up 11.1% on the week. Hong Kong real estate recorded 7 transactions, up 40% week-on-week.
