Houses are not only a place to live in our country, but also a symbol of wealth. More importantly, most people have always believed that houses can continue to appreciate and can continue to bring wealth to people. On the other hand, influenced by the traditional idea of ​​"only having a house can you have a home, and starting a family first and then starting a career", people in our country have special emotions about houses and believe that houses are symbols of home. Therefore, under the influence of multiple factors, houses have become something people love to buy. Especially when housing prices rise sharply, many people buy houses and have to buy houses even if they don’t have money to borrow, because in people’s opinion, as long as they buy the house, they can wait to make money.

So, how much do people in our country love to buy houses? According to Central Bank statistics, as of 2019, 96.86% of urban families in our country already had houses, with more than 1.5 units per household, and more than 40% of families have 2 or more houses. In addition, according to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics of , as of the end of 2020, the per capita housing area of ​​urban residents in our country has exceeded 40 square meters, which is far higher than the per capita housing level of 33 square meters in developed countries in Europe and the United States. It can be seen that our country's overall housing resources are already oversupply, but even in this case, many investors are still continuing to invest in real estate and are firmly optimistic about housing prices.

But it is undeniable that over the past 20 years, the overall housing prices in our country have been rising more than they have fallen less. Even if housing prices fall, they will soon stop falling and rebound and continue to hit new highs. It can be said that in many people's perception, housing prices have almost never fallen and have been rising. According to statistics, in 2000, the average housing price in our country was around 2,000 yuan, and by 2020, the national average housing price had risen to 9,860 yuan/square meter. Many people will say that housing prices have risen by 4 times in 20 years, which is not much, but this is just the average housing price. House prices in many cities have risen by more than ten times or even dozens of times in the past 20 years. For example, in Beijing, in 2000, the housing prices near , Beijing Sanhuan were around 3,500 yuan/square meter, while the housing prices near Beijing Sanhuan Beijing are basically above 100,000 yuan/square meter. In other words, in the past 20 years, housing prices around Beijing's Third Ring Road have risen by hundreds of times. In addition to first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shenzhen, housing prices in second-tier cities and even third- and fourth-tier cities have risen a lot, and the housing prices in many small counties are around 7,000 to 8,000 yuan per square meter. So it can be seen that as long as people who bought houses in the past have basically made money, many people have even accumulated a lot of wealth through investment in real estate and achieved financial freedom.

It is precisely for this reason that people are becoming more and more keen on buying houses. Even if a home buyer who needs a real need has a taste of the sweetness of rising housing prices, he will consider buying a second house, or even the third and fourth house... In many people's perception, housing prices only rise but not fall. As long as you buy a house, you can wait to make money.

But can housing prices really rise forever? It is obviously impossible. After all, the house is for people to live in, and it is a commodity. The price of the commodity will ultimately be determined by the supply and demand relationship. More importantly, houses are not ordinary goods, but are directly related to people's livelihood. So after all, houses are different from ordinary commodities, and houses are also related to people's livelihood issues. Therefore, in order to enable the real estate market to develop smoothly and healthily, the country launched a real estate market regulation model in September 2016. And in the past five years, the property market regulation policy has not only shown no sign of relaxation, but has continued to tighten. Especially in 2021, the housing market regulation policy has become even stronger. According to statistics, from January to August, the real estate market regulation policies issued across the country reached more than 420 times, with an average of 1.75 times a day.

Faced with such intensive housing market regulation policies, people's confidence in the housing market is getting less and less, and many home buyers who are preparing to buy a house have begun to hesitate.For example, a fan who is preparing to buy a house said that although real estate companies are now very attractive to lower prices and promotions, they are worried that after buying a house, the house prices will continue to fall, resulting in their hard work and losses. Therefore, the current real estate market environment has made many home buyers who need it more confused, especially now that some people are bearish on housing prices, and many people have been firmly optimistic about housing prices. So, what are the future trends of housing prices? In response to this, a real estate agent revealed the truth about the real estate market in one sentence, and netizens admitted: This is the real situation of the real estate market.

A friend of the author is engaged in real estate sales admitted: In the past, he always recommended second-hand house owners to raise the selling price. Since this year, the company has been asking them to call the owners and ask the owners to lower the listing price. It can be seen that the author’s intermediary friend revealed the truth about the current real estate market in one sentence. House prices are really falling, and real estate agencies no longer advocate the rise in housing prices as they did in the past. Many netizens said that this is the real situation of the real estate market. House prices are lowered, and second-hand houses cannot be sold without lowering the price. In order to earn agency fees for selling houses, real estate agents can only persuade owners to lower the listing price.

This is the truth of the current real estate market. Houses are not easy to sell, and second-hand houses are even more difficult to sell. It seems that the house prices have not fallen much, but if you want to sell them at this price, the houses cannot be sold at all. Only a house that is sold is considered wealth, while a house that cannot be sold can only be considered wealth on paper. You can take a look at the current second-hand housing prices. The overall listing prices of second-hand housing in many communities have dropped a lot. And this is not the final selling price, because in the current market, it belongs to the buyer market, , and there is still a lot of room for bargaining for the house. More importantly, the author's intermediary friend also said that the mentality of home buyers has changed now. Many home buyers he has met are not in a hurry to buy a house. Only when he encounters a house that meets their psychological price will the home buyers decide to buy a house. In this case, the selling price of second-hand houses will continue to be lowered. Second-hand house owners may not be willing to sell their houses at the beginning, but after a longer period of time, they cannot sell their houses. And under the influence of the continuous decline in the transaction prices of second-hand houses in the surrounding areas, many owners will eventually recognize the reality and choose to lower the listing price.

At present, the number of second-hand houses listed in most cities across the country is increasing continuously. According to statistics, the number of second-hand houses listed in Chengdu, Nanjing, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Beijing, Chongqing and other cities has exceeded 100,000 units, of which the number of second-hand houses listed in Chongqing (only urban areas) has exceeded 200,000 units. In addition, in June this year, the number of second-hand car registrations in Nanjing was still 110,000, but by September, the number of second-hand house registrations in Nanjing had exceeded 140,000, a surge of 30,000 units in three months. While the number of second-hand houses listed in Nanjing is increasing continuously, the transaction volume and transaction prices of second-hand houses in Nanjing have continued to decline in the past few months, which means that second-hand houses in Nanjing will become increasingly difficult to sell in the future.

From this we can see that the real estate market environment has indeed changed. Don’t blindly believe in the slogan that you can make money by buying a house, and don’t blindly believe that housing prices only rise but not fall. Under the long-term regulation of "housing for living, not for speculation", people's concept of buying a house has changed, and the real estate market has slowly entered the buyer's market. As real estate speculators slowly withdraw from the property market, people's demand for houses will be greatly reduced. The current situation of the real estate market is that houses are not easy to sell. In the second-hand housing market, it seems that housing prices have not dropped much, but in fact they are just priceless.
