楼市释放3大信号,专家预测,今明两年“降价潮”或继续?
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-05-19 23:51
其实这一轮楼市周期中,降价最厉害的非那些老破小莫属了,毕竟房龄长,小区内部也比较陈旧,再加上老小区没有电梯出行,每天只能爬楼,如果家里 有老人孩子的话,上下楼很不方便。 尤其是有孩子的家庭,每次下楼带孩子出去玩,都必须两个大人一起,一个抱孩子,一个扛推车,而且孩子去到楼下玩,还得小心谨慎,因为小区里来来 往往的汽车很不安全,毕竟人车不分流。 这样一来,年轻人就更看不上这样的小区了,进而导致老小区的房价一跌再跌,很多都跌出了性价比。 比如买一套十几万的小房子,出租一个月收益1000块,这样的回报率吸引了不少投资者收购老破小。 从去年10月份开始,大城市老破小销量就出现了持续上升,北京90平米以下的二手房成交占比高达66.3%,而且多数成交都是老小区小户型住宅。 上海总价300万以内的二手房成交占比60%,包括广州市中心60平米以下的老破小户型销量都在持续上涨。 再加上今年上层已经多次重磅会议确定了未来的楼市主基调——回稳止跌!但有专家却预测,楼市释放3大信号,今明两年"降价潮"或继续。 信号一、库存高位 根据数据显示,目前全国范围内的商品房库存量依旧处于高位,甚至有增无减。2023年新房市场待售面积为6.7亿㎡ ...
