时报观察丨“好房子”不等于高得房率 回归品质方为正道

Core Viewpoint - The term "good house" has gained popularity in the real estate sector this year, but there is a misconception among buyers regarding the definition, particularly concerning the concept of "high usable area" which has led to misleading marketing practices [1][2]. Group 1: Misinterpretation of "Good House" - Many new housing projects are misleadingly marketing "usable area" by including non-counted areas such as balconies and terraces, resulting in claims of usable rates exceeding 100%, with some cities reporting rates as high as 130% [1]. - The typical definition of usable area is the ratio of the internal building area to the total building area, which generally should not exceed 100% due to shared public space [1]. Group 2: Market Trends and Consumer Preferences - Research indicates that new housing products with high usable rates have seen high sales rates in cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen, reflecting consumer preference for these offerings [1]. - However, this trend has led to some developers engaging in questionable practices to inflate usable area claims [1]. Group 3: True Definition of "Good House" - A true "good house" should focus on product design, construction quality, community services, green energy efficiency, and supporting services rather than just high usable area [2]. - The implementation of the "Residential Project Standards" in May aims to enhance safety, comfort, and sustainability in housing projects, emphasizing the importance of quality and service in defining a "good house" [2].
