面對呢個冰火市，愚見認為如果係住係自置私樓的話，而你嗰層樓係供緊一厘息左右，加上供平過租，就算計倒樓市會下跌 2-3 成都無理由係現在賣樓！

因為你會面對下列風險：-

估計跌幅有誤！

新舊樓按息水平差別！

一賣一買物業印花稅、律師費、經記佣支出！

期內租樓租金及其開支，傢俬雜物電器點安置？

SSD 都唔好忽略！

除非有人寫包單跌硬 3 成以上，否則一動不如一靜！！

喜雅位於長沙灣保安道18號，項目分兩座共327伙，建築面積為567呎與777呎，主要是兩房與三房單位。大約在兩周前推出第一批60個單位，首天已獲得400張申請票，超額認購5.7倍，隨後房協又分段加推，已先後加推至240伙，共獲3,109票認購，已超額12倍，正式開盤時，應會被搶購一空。
當此歐債危機，全球股市暴跌，投資情緒低迷，多名高官更出言「恐嚇」，指樓市有泡沫爆破的風險，而喜雅的訂價亦不見得便宜，初推時7,524元一呎，現時已加價至8,292元一呎，但喜雅的認購仍如此踴躍，足見市場上的確存在著很多有實際需要的用家。
香港已實施額外印花稅，短期轉讓代價沉重，根本不可能有炒賣活動，而喜雅又不容外來投資者購買，只是純粹靠本地用家，需求已如此強烈，反映供不應求的情況已十分嚴重。
喜雅只是一個沒有甚麼特色的中小型樓盤，已可吸引七千多名認購者，相當於今年住宅的落成量(約11,000個)的六成。若考慮到其他樓盤也有類似的潛在買家，在僧多粥少下，樓價焉能靠出口術而壓得住？政府應該致力增加土地供應，而不是把責任推給炒賣活動。香港住宅的空置率只有4.3%，土地資源的使用效益非常高，根本沒有囤積居奇的現象。政府可不要斷錯症，亂下藥。

有人相信秋官效應,我卻深信大奇蹟日!快將出現!

The responsibles for the Housing Authority /Society made many twists / distortions in the rents in the current market in the past dates. Imagine the newcomers or new households applied to the public housing can only pay 1/5 or 1/4 rents in market, someone can even apply anytime to live in town for such low rents. How we can we afford this huge demands in the long term ???

They should review the rents from one to seven years old of the new public estates.

To 8:

藍灣半島算港島優質大型屋苑，租得果度大單位，你都必然唔係社會最低下階層，咁都要發聲問 Gov 攞資助？  你覺得「迫遷」咁慘，又冇本事租同區嘉享、太古咁「可憐」，洗唔洗上 電視台 造埋訪問，提出控訴？

TO:小市民

今日已經好晒喇,你仲要出黎晒命,難委真貧窮戶只有綿被晒!!

唉!人心不足,活受罪! 或有天,你真的需要為生活而領取福利,懂得感恩!

To No. 8),

I can understand your situation b'coz I lived on islandside all of my life & quite get use to its convenience & neighbourhood.  But the fact is: you cannot afford to rent there all of your life!  Somehow all the people that live on that side are my relatives & friends that settled for 20 yrs, they bought their apartment 20 yrs ago or even longer for 30 yrs & the house was bought for less than 1 M.  Why would they sell/rent it to you cheap??  It's market man!

If you still do not own your apartment, I think you should seriously consider to land on the territoruy when you can still afford & not like my colleaque 52yrs old still dreaming to buy in North Point but she can never afford(still renting.......)

To 8 小市民,

港島大把舊樓大單位平租, 你講個d 全部要有會所, 咁你覺得加租但又要同樣享受但又唔比多d $ ? 邊有咁著數? !

Many people are affordable to live in deluxe apartments, but they never consider to buy a house. At the same time, the officials have made too many twists / distortion on the rents for the public estates. Actually, these people are using the social pressures to take an advantage from the community.
