有人说，房产中介正在打压房价！

Core Viewpoint - The real estate market, particularly the second-hand housing market, is experiencing significant price declines, leading to a loss of pricing power for homeowners and increased pressure from real estate agents to lower prices [1][3][5]. Group 1: Market Conditions - Housing prices are continuously declining, especially in the second-hand market, causing homeowners to feel urgent pressure to sell [1][3]. - The number of properties for sale in the same neighborhood is increasing, giving buyers more options and leading to longer transaction cycles [3]. - Over 95% of properties have shifted from being investment assets to consumer goods, with buyers hoping for further price drops before purchasing [5]. Group 2: Role of Real Estate Agents - Real estate agents play a crucial role in the transaction process, but their focus has shifted to facilitating sales by pressuring homeowners to reduce prices [6][10]. - Agents often manipulate the market by creating a sense of urgency among homeowners and using tactics to lower prices, which disrupts fair market pricing [8][12]. - The current market dynamics allow agents to dictate pricing based on their control of information, undermining the negotiation power of both buyers and sellers [10][12]. Group 3: Calls for Regulation - There are growing calls for government intervention to break the information monopoly held by real estate agents and to regulate their practices for fairer transactions [13].
