自2022年以来，国内房价已进入技术性熊市。例如，廊坊的房价已被腰斩，而燕郊地区的跌幅更是达到58%。即使是一线城市也难以幸免，北京五环外的房 价较2021年最高点回落了18%，此外，上海外郊环区域的二手房挂牌价格普遍低于成本价。更为严峻的是，央行的一项抽样调查显示，45%的家庭房产净值 占总资产的比例超过70%。这意味着，每当房价下跌10%，这些家庭的总资产将减少7%。以一户拥有两套房产的典型家庭为例，若每套房产的价值从500万 元降至400万元，其家庭资产将瞬间损失200万元。 根据国家统计局的最新数据，到2025年，全国商品房的平均价格将较历史最高点下跌32%，与此同时，二手房的挂牌总量也突破了1.2亿套。在这一楼市深 度调整的阶段，45%的拥有两套及以上房产的家庭正面临前所未有的资产保护挑战。为此，我将结合市场动态与政策变化，深入分析多套房群体所面临的生 存困境，同时提出切实可行的应对策略。 这种供需严重失衡直接导致交易周期显著延长。贝壳研究院的数据显示，2025年第一季度，二手房的平均成交周期已达到278天，较2021年延长了93天。更 引人注意的是，在北京朝阳区的某小区，出现了"卖一买三"的现象， ...
