Retail properties offloaded for losses in weak market as revaluations spark bank concerns (SCMP)
|
|
|
Several retail properties sold recently by prominent Hong Kong investors have been offloaded at a loss – a trend analysts attributed to banks maintaining a tough stance on debt collection.
Stanley Poon Chi-ming, managing director at Centaline Commercial, said retail property prices had fallen by 30 to 70 per cent from their 2018 peaks. That meant any sales in the current market – especially of properties bought around a decade ago – would essentially result in a loss.

From 3-Year Lows To 3-Year Highs In Nine Months: Mortgage Rates Surge To 7.49% As Bond Rout Hits Main Street
Last December, we wrote that mortgage rates had dipped to 3-year lows. Nine months, one Middle East war and one global bond rout later, they are at 3-year highs.
According to the latest weekly data from the Mortgage Bankers Association, the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage jumped another 19bps to 7.49% in the week ended October 2, the highest since November 2023, and up from 7.30% the week before, which itself was a fresh 3-year high.
The culprit is not exactly a mystery. Mortgage rates track the 10Y Treasury, and the 10Y just had its biggest quarterly jump since 1994, hitting 5.34% last week, the highest since 2002. And with the long end leading the latest leg of the selloff, this morning the 30Y climbed to 5.70%, also the highest since 2002, while the 10Y was trading around 5.32%.
Below we look at why the bond rout has finally landed on Main Street, what it is doing to housing (sp...
