Recently, Hong Kong's much-talked-about luxury "Shenwan No. 9" sold a HK$73.8 million sea-view house. According to the Hong Kong Commercial Daily, the seller of the property is the entertainer Carina Lau.

It is reported that the sale price of this luxury house reached 90 million Hong Kong dollars earlier, and although the actual selling price is lower than before, it is 6% higher than the bank's online valuation.

And you must know that when Carina Lau bought the above property in 2011, the price was about 52.728 million Hong Kong dollars. This means that after 13 years of hoarding, Carina Lau made 21.072 million Hong Kong dollars in one move, and the house appreciated by about 40% in her hands.

Carina Lau sold 3 Hong Kong villas in a row

Luxury houses in the mainland are waiting for an opportunity

Recognizing the trend of policy adjustment in Hong Kong's property market, Carina Lau has sold 3 villas in a row, and the profit may have exceeded 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

In addition to the above-mentioned mansion in Wong Chuk Hang, it is rumored in the market that Carina Lau has successively sold a high-rise mansion in West Mid-Levels and a duplex mansion in Block 8 of No. 9 Shenwan.

Among them, the price of the property in Mid-Levels West is 44 million Hong Kong dollars, and the buyer Chen Zicong and the son-in-law of gambling king Stanley Ho and the husband of He Chaoyi happen to have the same name. Carina Lau bought the house in 2011 at a price of about HK $39.09 million, and it appreciated by 12% in 9 years.

It is rumored that Carina Lau bought the No. 9 unit in Shenwan in 2011 in the name of her mother Wang Fumei, and changed hands for HK$30 million in 2021.

Carina Lau has always been keen on buying houses, and Hong Kong media have reported that there are at least 10 luxury houses in Hong Kong under her name, with a total market value of hundreds of millions. At the same time, Carina Lau has also bought luxury houses in Beijing, Shanghai, and Suzhou, and it is even said that she specially bought a suite to stack her collections.

Carina Lau's mainland mansion is also waiting for an opportunity. At the beginning of the year, an intermediary released a set of interior photos of the duplex mansion in Shimao Riverside Garden, which was accused of being sold by Carina Lau, with a price of 180 million yuan.

In addition, Carina Lau also has luxury houses in Shanghai, such as Tomson Yipin, Green Lake World, Mingdu City Villa, Bund Peninsula Hotel Apartment, and Changning Huashan Summer Garden, some of which have been sold.

Carina Lau has really many houses, and it is no wonder that she can be domineering when she once interviewed "whether she has a net worth of 800 million".

Multiple wealthy people sell their homes

The highest earning is 60 million

There are more than one or two celebrities and wealthy people who have recently sold houses in Hong Kong.

Another example is the well-known actor Huang Zihua, who passed by the well-known actor Huang Zihua at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, sold a house in the old mansion "Yunfeng Building" in Mid-Levels, North Point, Hong Kong at a price of 28.8 million yuan, and the value of the stock has appreciated by 18% in 11 years, with a book profit of 4.42 million Hong Kong dollars.

Huang Tianao, the lead singer of the Hong Kong band Dear Jane, also sold his mansion and parking space in Sai Kung at the beginning of the month for HK$18.28 million, a loss of 22%.

Feng Xiaogang and his wife can be described as a wild profit, and their mansion in Mid-levels Central, Hong Kong is priced at HK$118 million, with an area of about 180 square meters, with a view of the Central business district and Victoria Harbour. According to Shenzhen Business Daily, Feng Xiaogang and his wife bought it for about HK$58 million in 2010, and made HK$60 million when they changed hands 13 years later.

However, the most interesting thing about the rich man who sold his house is Li Ka-shing.

In August last year, Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong Asset's real estate "Qinhai Station II" 7 cheapest house was sold at HK$2.9 million after discount, with a price of HK$15,000 per square foot, directly returning to the level of 7 years ago, compared with the surrounding second-hand houses, it is simply a 7% discount.

Although the price has been greatly transferred, for Li Ka-shing, it is just a matter of making more profits and making less profits.

Because the cost of these lands is controllable. According to the annual report of Cheung Kong Group, as of 2023, the Group has a developable land bank of approximately 76 million square feet. Cheung Kong rarely made a bid, and at the end of 2022, the price of the newly won Hong Kong land parcel was more than 20% below the lower limit of the market valuation (about HK$6,137 per square foot).

Before Li Ka-shing's price reduction promotion, according to Hong Kong media reports, Henderson Land, Ideal Group and other companies had already taken measures to sell houses at a discount.

Hong Kong houses are selling like crazy

The price is expected to increase by 5%-8% in the second half of the year

Hong Kong's housing boom is inseparable from the policy.

After the full abolition of the "spicy measures" and the relaxation of mortgage loan policies, first of all, the activity of luxury real estate transactions in Hong Kong has increased significantly.

In addition to the above-mentioned stars' house sales results, the developers' house sales results are even more eye-catching. For example, recently, the Hong Kong luxury residential project "THE CORNICHE", which was cooperated by Logan and KWG, sold half of it on the opening day, cashing out nearly 470 million Hong Kong dollars.

According to the data, the luxury houses of the project are all four-bedroom seaview mansions with a saleable area of 1,956 square feet to 2,247 square feet, and the price of each unit is "half a billion" level.

Secondly, the transaction of ordinary residential buildings in Hong Kong has also been driven.

According to Midland Realty data, in March 2024, Hong Kong's new home transactions increased by 14.5 times month-on-month, hitting a new monthly high since 1998, and the Centaline City Leading Index (CCL), which reflects the trend of second-hand property prices, rose to 147.08 points on April 7. The total value of sale and purchase agreements for sale and purchase of properties in Hong Kong increased by 65.5% month-on-month to HK$37.4 billion in March (Land Registry data).

As a result of the policy, Hong Kong's new and second-hand homes, residential and commercial seem to be fully recovering.

Shi Yongqing, founder of Centaline Group, pointed out that investors have been suppressed for a long time, and Hong Kong's "withdrawal of spicy" has left room for investment, driving investors to reinvest in the property market.

"The two hands of investment and self-occupation support the property price, and the foundation is much better. "It is expected that with the domestic and foreign economic environment, Hong Kong property prices are expected to increase by 5%-8% in the second half of the year.
