    It's not over until the fat lady sings, and I'm not singing until my throat feels better.  tongue

    And she's not singing because I locked her into a loaded bakery.

    Edited to Add: "The Fat Lady" is who I'm talking about, not Charlotte.

    Baked goods have a shelf life.  Starving Children in Ethiopia don't have anything to eat, so we better be good and clean our plates!

    Yep. I must admit I'm procrastinating on some tasks that I just don't want to do. So I might as well win the contest in the meantime.

        Shouldn't you be out looking for overly promotional hubs then? I can flag a few more if you like.

        Although, you are quick. I reported a forum post today and got the message that the post I was reporting was not there.big_smile

          Sometimes quicker than others, of course.  It depends on whether or not I'm at the computer, obviously, but also whether I'm engrossed in emails, moderation, or other stuff.

          And you have no idea how much easier my job is, the more the community takes a role in flagging.  So please, flag (appropriately) away!

    2007 年亚洲很多地区豪华房产市场价格创新高。豪华房产开发商充分利用市场繁荣机会,适时更新设计图,增加了房屋面积,提高了内部配套设施的水准,以吸引更有财力的客户。

    香港居住用豪华房产

    香港居住用豪华房产香港 Branksome Crest 以每平方英尺逾 4000 美元的价格售出三千平方英尺的顶层套楼式豪宅,总价格超过 2 千万美元,创下历史新高。

    业内人士称,该纪录保持时间不会很长,在 2008 年很可能被再次打破。世邦魏理仕 (CB Richard Ellis) 在其 2007 年的报告中指出,投资者和终端用户均在寻求购买居住用高端豪华房产。香港的豪华房产不多,这令具有豪华房产再开发潜力的地块成本大幅上扬,Village Road 的一个住房地块价格达到每平方英尺近 2000 美元。总体上看,居住用豪华房产在 2007 年的价值增长为 14.1%,主要居住用豪华房产的利润显著超过其他所有房产类别。Severn 8 每平方英尺 7000 美元的豪华别墅打破了另一项纪录。

    世邦魏理仕的高级主管 Alan Man 说:“我们相信香港坚实的经济要素和有利的市场环境,包括高地价、新供给的缺乏和终端用户及投资者的大量需求,会对过去 12 个月的豪华房产价格提供支持,并将继续保持良好表现。尽管我们看到海外及大陆人士有较多参与,但本地用户和投资者将继续在市场中扮演重要角色。我们预计,由于房源缺乏,居住用豪华房产,特别是高级建筑将在 2008 年升值 20% 至 25%。在租赁选择有限和通胀环境下,豪华住房的租金将继续攀升,短期回报率将进一步压缩至 3% 左右。”

    中国的豪华房产


    北京的豪华住宅市场

    北京的豪华房产在经历市场活跃后,北京的豪华房产开发商抬高了售价,同时,中国人民银行提高了第二套住房的贷款利率,导致市场稍有降温。2007 年豪华套房价格总体增长了 8.8%。豪华别墅和住房仍供不应求,一套豪华住房的价格已超过每平米 3000 美元。奥运会刺激了对服务式公寓的需求,豪华住宅租赁市场价格在 2007 年第四季度增加了 5.6%,达到每个月每平米 30 美元以上。

    上海豪华房产

    2007 年四季度上海房产交易量下滑,但全年总体价格上涨 34%。市场放缓的主要原因是房源增加,但汤臣集团推出的汤臣湖庭花园极为成功,开盘当月即售出 94%,平均价格超过每平米 4000 美元。豪华服务式公寓再次有优秀表现。同期另有多个服务式豪华公寓楼盘推出,使市场新增 300 余套住房。

    广州豪华房产

    尽管广州的房源供给大量增加,需求趋于平稳,但豪华住宅房产价值在 2007 年大幅上涨,超过去年第四季度的情况。尽管 2007 年第四季度增加了 4000 套新住房,导致市场放缓,但豪华别墅的资产价值仍获得最大提升,升值达 2.1%。

    新加坡的居住用豪华房产市场

    新加坡居住用豪华房产市场与很多豪华房产市场一样,新加坡的房价也创新高。如豪华住宅发展商 SC 发展公司 (SC Developments) 在巴德申山 (Paterson Hill) 开发的 The Marq 豪华共管公寓,在开盘后几个小时内即告售罄;最贵的一套售价达 3100 万美元。每平方英尺 5000 美元的价格创下历史新纪录。据美林公司 (Merrill Lynch) 称,2007 年居住在新加坡的百万富翁人数增加了 21%。全新加坡的开发商均在推倒旧房屋,将其重新开发为新豪宅,期待着能再现 Marq 的成功。

    具有豪华房产开发潜力的居住用地屡屡打破新的价格记录。良园 (Westwood) 公寓以每个地块每英尺 2525 美元的价格售出。豪华和超豪华租赁公寓在 2007 年价格大幅增长 29%,仅在最后一个季度增速才有所放缓。

    SC 环球发展有限公司 (SC Global Developments)

    吉隆坡的豪华房产

    吉隆坡双子星塔吉隆坡的城市天际线将很快焕然一新。当前建设中的豪华开发项目数量惊人。OneKL 和 Troika 项目计划在 2009 年末完成。OneKL 推出时为豪华住宅价格设立了新标准,但 Troika 甚至赶超了该项目,房源现已售出 70%。其中八套顶层豪宅由国外人士购得。据称,高 4 层、面积为 2 万 1 千平方英尺的顶层豪宅以 1 千 8 百万美元的价格售出;这是吉隆坡的新纪录。该住宅由世界著名的英国福斯特建筑事务所 (Foster + Partners) 与 GDP 建筑事务所共同设计。
    在吉隆坡进行的更多豪宅开发项目包括:DKBL Towers、The Capers、K Residence 和 The Four Seasons,这些项目均在开盘时创下历史最高价格。

    吉隆坡豪华房产市场的繁荣景象一如既往,再一次吸引了国外投资。而诸如 Marc Residence 等豪华服务式公寓则在 2007 年表现出最大收益。
