都說香港寸土寸金，但很少有人對此有個(gè)直觀的概念。舉個(gè)簡單的例子，在香港，惠福路上的一套一室戶的公寓就能叫價(jià)300萬美元——這絕不是筆者編出來的。所以香港淺水灣的房子能賣到世界最貴（以每尺價(jià)格計(jì)算），也就沒什么好奇怪的了。

自從2012年開賣以來，淺水灣道的四臥室聯(lián)排別墅（面積別4120平方英尺）已經(jīng)被炒到了8730萬美元一套。房地產(chǎn)公司安閣物業(yè)（Engel & V?lkers）表示，你沒有看錯(cuò)，我們確實(shí)沒有多加一個(gè)零。

這個(gè)價(jià)格意味著這套房子每平方英尺都值21190美元。相比之下，《福布斯》今年一月報(bào)道的貝艾爾市的那套所謂“美國史上最貴豪宅”，無非也就賣到每平方英尺6560美元。

全球整體售價(jià)最貴的房子在孟買的安提利亞，售價(jià)達(dá)10億美元。不過它的面積足有400000平方英尺，如果掰開了賣，每平方英尺也只不過價(jià)值2500美元而已。

那么，淺水灣毫宅究竟是什么樣子的，能值2萬多美金一尺？

據(jù)銷售文案稱，這套房子有“能看到如畫般海景的大窗子”，內(nèi)部還有樓梯。主臥有一個(gè)“很好的步入式衣帽間”。另外房子里還有傭人的臥室。這樣的房子自然是夠用的，但離宮殿般的奢華顯得還差得遠(yuǎn)。

香港安閣物業(yè)的高級租售顧問瑪麗·關(guān)對《時(shí)代》坦言，這套房子以這樣的價(jià)格賣出去的機(jī)會“是很低的”。

不過房地產(chǎn)商也指出，永遠(yuǎn)不要小瞧了香港的房地產(chǎn)價(jià)值。香港太平山上的房子在2014年還曾賣出過每平方英尺22588美元的天價(jià)。另外，淺水灣也有一套豪宅在2015年曾以1.04億美元的天價(jià)賣出，也就是14436美元每平方英尺。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Hong Kong is the kind of place where one-room apartments have been offered for sale at $3 million on — you can’t make this up — Welfare Road. So it’s hardly surprising that what could be the world’s most expensive house, in dollar-per-sq.-ft. terms, is to be found by a bay named Repulse.

On the market since 2012, the four-bedroom, four-bathroom, 4,120-sq.-ft. “beautiful British style townhouse” at 110 Repulse Bay Road can be yours for $87.3 million. Realtors Engel & V?lkers insist that’s not a typo.

The house’s price means that it costs roughly $21,190 a square foot. By contrast, the 38,000-sq.-ft. Bel-Air mansion described by Forbes in January as “the most expensive home ever listed in America” was put on the market for just $6,560 a sq. ft.

The world’s most expensive home in absolute terms — the $1 billion Antilia in Mumbai— is valued at a mere $2,500 for each of its 400,000 sq. ft.

So what would a buyer of the villa at 110 Repulse Bay get for their money?

According to the sales pitch, the property has “l(fā)arge windows [that] capture picturesque views of the sea” as well as an internal staircase. The master room hosts “a nicely fitted out walk-in closet.” There are bedrooms for two domestic helpers. It’s undeniably opulent but hardly a palace.

Mary Kwan, senior adviser for sales and leasing at Engel & V?lkers Hong Kong, admits to TIME that the chance of a sale going ahead at this price is “very low.”

But, as they say, never bet against Hong Kong property. A townhouse on the Victoria Peak was listed in 2014 for an even more insane $22,588 per sq. ft., while another standalone villa in Repulse Bay was actually sold in 2015 for a jaw-dropping $104 million, or $14,436 a sq. ft.
