drbubb Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hemera (LOHAS) is sold out CK Hutchinson holdings has sold out the third batch of homes in its Hemera project. Discounts of up to 19% on list prices helped. The project consisted of 1,648 flats atop the Lohas Park MTR station Batch-3 : 510 units, ranging from 680 sf to 1,100 sf, sold at HK$7.39mn to HK$13.9mn, before discounts (?) After discounts, many flats were $8,400 - $9,000 pssf Meantime, in the secondary market for the week to April 12th, 79 flats were sold on the 50 top estates - down 23% from the prior week, with strong primary market sales "stealing" some demand.

drbubb Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 LOHAS Park is definitely a location to watch !Like TKS, it is a sort of bellwether too,and it has good transport links to:+ Quarry Bay / Taikoo Shing+ Tseung Kwan O / Park Central etc.I monitor, the time and transport arbitrage between these locations.Generally speaking, LOHAS is priced at about 50% of Taikoo Shing (TKS) at Quarry Bay. mo CariC: Lohas: PkCen: TaikSh: L/TKS : 13: 6,336 : 6,146 : 7,551 : 12,149 : 50.6% 14: 5,809 : 6,146 : 7,722 : 10,936 : 56.2% 15: 6,538 : 6,356 : 9,168 : 12,627 : 50.3%F. : 6,573 : 6,638 : 8,978 : 13,319 : 49.8% :M : 6,984 : 6,616 : 9,371 : 13,906 : 47.6% :A : 6,260 : 6,617 : 9,461 : 14,347 : 46.1% :M : 6,958 : 6,864 : 9,531 : 14,356 : 47.8% :J. : 6,656 : 6,964: 10129 : 14,243 : 48.9% :Jl : 6,594 : 7,084: 10034 : 14,956 : 47.4% :A : 7,577 : 7,284: 10160 : 14,923 : 48.8% :S : 6,514 : 7,065: 10187 : 15,101 : 46.8% :O : 7,047 : 6,911 : 9,449 : 13,947 : 49.6% :N : 6,856 : 6,872 : 9,194 : 13,731 : 50.0% : D : (Caribbean Coast is in Tung Chung, at the other end of HK.

drbubb Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 (From AX): TKS / LOHAS thread Duracelll I am not interested in TKS. I think there are some people worried sick that prices will tank very quickly, and are in a rush to go out and are willing to give steep discounts. However, these flats are probably going fairly quickly, so I keep my eyes open.I think I lost another great deal for a 5 M flat, which seems to be no longer available (unless it never was, of course. Agents make up stuff sometimes). OffThePeak (22 hrs ago)You will see more "good deals" imho.TKS is the bellwether, and the damage is likely to spread out from there. Greene King (5 hrs ago)Recently calls to remove the additional cooling measures have increased as these additional costs have had an impact. Here is my take on this:The additional measures were put in place 2012/2013. What were they supposed to achieve?-hold prices as they were at the time?-limit further increases?-cause prices to fall (to more affordable prices)?Remember at the time there was talk about the average guy had been priced out,prices had risen too high etc.Well since then prices have risen from around 123 on the CCI in March 2013 to 137 now. So looking at the three possible intended achievements (of the measures) none of them have been met yet. My take is there will be no reduction in the special measures until the CCI falls to around 120 or so, a fall of around 12% from now. OffThePeak (3 hrs ago)I agree with you Greene King.120 or so looks like a key support level.Using 147 as the Peak, that would be a fall of 18.4%. Greene King (45 mins ago)OTP,FYI this is the MTR tender I mentioned before, one to keep an eye out for.MTR CORPORATION officially invited the property developers to tender for the development of LOHAS Park Phase 9 in Tseung Kwan O and the deadline for submission will be at 2 p.m. on 28 December 2015.The project has received 19 letters of intent at an earlier time. LOHAS Park Phase 9 covers a site area of approximately 138,500 sq. ft.. It can accommodate three buildings with up to 1,780 residential units.http://www.aastocks.com/en/stocks/news/aafn-news/NOW.704728/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted December 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Here is ONE of several possible scenarios that would fit my Cycllcal concept.I have simply tacked the price action from 1997 to 2001 onto the prior peak.These are HKD per SF (Gross) prices in Taikoo Shing:The Drop is 33% from about $15,000 psf to $10,000 psf.Remember: Just One of several possible scenarios.The drop in the first 12-18 months (if that's how long it lasts) may not be so steep.And the following rally might be differentI will plan to revise this scenario, or add another one to it, when I have sufficient info to do so.
