This year, HOS 2022 will be launched at a 51% discount. Seeing that it is sold at the highest discount rate over the years, the price of HOS seems to be getting more and more flat. It is easy to think that the Lam Cheng government's housing policy is only “virtuous”. However, we analyzed the latest trends and changes in the cost, square footage, quantity and selling price of new HOS flats in recent years with reference to the financial statements published by the Housing Authority, the annual sales arrangements of HOS flats and the average price per square foot [1] . The flattening of housing is just an illusion. Dismantling the specific financial operations of the HA's discount promotion is more likely to predict the positioning of the HOS policy in the future.
The price remains high and the dismantling discount "phantom" remains unchanged Since 2018, the HOS pricing mechanism of 30% off the market price has been changed, and the "median monthly household income of non-owner households" has been added as a pricing reference. The HOS pricing seems to have dropped again and again. Since 2018, the government has changed the 30% off HOS to 52%, 56% to 59% in 2019, 40% in 2020, and 51% off in 2022. The current HOS discount rate is significantly higher than the previous 30% discount . The high level seems to make Shadow Making the public feel that HOS flats are getting more and more flat, and more families with lower financial burden should be able to buy HOS flats.
However, we calculated the average selling price of HOS flats by sorting out the distribution of flat feet in the annual HOS sales arrangement and the final price list, and found that since the re-launch of HOS in 2014, it has dropped to 2.1 million except in 2016. (Hong Kong dollars, the same below), the average selling price of new HOS flats has remained between 2.5 million and 3 million over the years. It can be seen that even though the Government has continuously increased the discount rate for HOS flats in recent years, it seems that the flattening of HOS flats is just an illusion.
