Vigers Hong Kong Property Index Series Objectives ▪ As a complement to the existing property information related to the Hong Kong property market; ▪ To better inform public of the ever-changing residential market as Vigers has selected residential districts or areas which will be impacted by the territories’ infrastructure project, i.e. the MTR network expansion; ▪ To continually get updates from the property market Methodology ▪ The hedonic model of price measurement is based on the assumption that an asset’s value can be derived from the value of its different characteristics. The price of a home will therefore depend on the values that buyers have placed on both qualitative and quantitative attributes. ▪ Hedonic regression can estimate the implicit market value of each attributes of a property by comparing sample home prices with their associated characteristics, on a monthly basis. ▪ Logarithm of transaction price will be used as independent variable for the regression model, whilst logarithm of dependent variables, such as building’s age, floor numbers, floor areas, and regional, district and estate building names will be selected in the model as controls for quality mix, apart from the time dummy variables (which are the most important part of the model), being employed. ▪ Indices estimation is finally completed by taking the exponential of the calendar month fixed effects, with the base period — January 2000 to be 100, using the EViews software. ▪ For dataset starting from March 2013 onwards, another set of restated index series (with net floor areas rather than gross floor areas ones) will also be tabulated.
