Our "Analytical
Track Record"
A)
Items currently available
1) Real estate
analyses: We publish from time to time reports in
English and / or Chinese for a target audience or the public at large.
These reports may be focused on specific markets
or segments of a market, or they may be related to a
technical topic. These should be useful for real estate
developers, builders, investors, fund managers, bankers, property owners, corporate
occupiers, multinationals, civic organizations, professional groups, and
the like.
Calculative methods
involved if any may also range from simple arithmetic to sophisticated
quantitative modeling [Click the following free samples]
a) SIMPLE STUDY SERIES:
we have created and developed a series of simple
studies
dealing with specific real estate themes or monitoring market
trends with a view to seek where feasible insights and angles
which may have been missed by the general market AND / OR to
challenge doubtful yet popular real estate notions. Statistical
applications and numeric analyses are used where practicable
Executive Summary: it appears that from a macro
angle, investment diversification among the various major
commercial real estate sectors, namely residential
(apartment), office, retail, and industrial, may not help to
reduce risk much, whether in terms of price, demand, supply,
or return. [12 pages, US$25.00]
Executive Summary: Former residential real estate
shining stars (projects or complexes) may become today’s
dogs and likewise, today’s shining stars may also turn into
dogs in future. Relying on past status and glory is unlikely
to be a very reliable method. [8

Simple Study Series-SSS0003-Hong Kong
Private Residential Real Estate: Larger Beats Smaller 3Q 2006
Executive
Summary: based on data and information published by the Hong
Kong SAR Government and related to the period from 1994 to 2005, it
appears that investors interested in the Hong Kong private residential
real estate market may face less (than average) risk via investing in
the larger floor size residential units (category C to E) than investing
in the smaller floor size ones (category A to B), despite the new supply
of such larger units may seem erratic at times.

Simple Study Series-SSS0004-China:
Urbanization & GDP 3Q 2006
Executive
Summary: based on data and information published by the
United Nations, it appears that ‘some’ correlation exists between
urbanization, expressed in percentage of urban population, and GDP,
expressed in GDP US$ per capita on a purchasing power parity basis, i.e.
the degree of urbanization and the status of GDP per capita appear to
‘somewhat’ synchronized. [15 pages, US$25.00]
2) Real estate financial spreadsheets:
These are generally
simple-to-use real estate financial spreadsheets for preliminary ballpark
assessments or rough estimates. Further assessments or detailed estimates
would require tailor-made or sophisticated calculations and / or
quantitative models which are not available through this website (please
contact us if such a need arises)
[Click the links below for the summary pages of the spreadsheets]
3) Real estate technical tutorials:
These are meant
for introducing relatively complicated real estate concepts or techniques
