根据全美房地产经纪人协会（NAR）周五公布的数据，美国11月成屋销售环比上涨0.5%，预期为上涨1.2%，前值为上涨1.2%。11月成屋销售同 比下降1%。11月成屋销售总数年化413万户，不及预期的415万户，前值为410万户。 高企的房价、居高不下的按揭贷款利率，再加上如今房源供应减少，都在对潜在购房者形成压力。 成屋销售约占美国房地产市场销售量的90%，在过户时计算。通常在过户前的一两个月，签订合同，因此10月份的销售数据主要反映了10月和9 月的购买决定。当时按揭贷款利率一度小幅回落，但随后维持在相对狭窄的区间内波动。 美国的房源供应在今年大部分时间持续回升后，于11月出现回落。数据显示，截至11月底，待售房屋数量为143万套，较10月下降5.9%，但同比 仍增长7.5%。按当前销售速度计算，这相当于4.2个月的供应量。通常认为6个月的供应才是买卖双方相对均衡的状态。 与此同时，已挂牌的卖家下架房源的比例也高于往常。卖家在进入冬季前撤下未售房源本属常态，但今年这一现象明显更为突出。 这进一步推高了房价压力。11月成交的成屋住宅的中位价为40.92万美元，同比上涨1.2%，创下历年11月的最高纪录。 全 ...

Yun指出，工资增速目前快于房价涨幅，有助于改善住房可负担性，但他同时警告称，若住房供应无法 跟上需求增长，未来住房可负担性仍可能面临新的压力。 美国全国房地产经纪人协会首席经济学家Lawrence Yun表示，房源增长正开始停滞。"房主在冬季并不 急于挂牌出售房屋。" 与此同时，挂牌出售的房屋也出现了更高比例的撤牌现象。虽然进入冬季后卖家通常会将未售出的房源 暂时撤出市场，今年这一趋势明显更为强烈。 房源减少继续对房价形成支撑。数据显示，11月成屋销售中位价为40.92万美元，同比上涨1.2%，并创 下历年11月新高。不过，由于中位数指标容易受成交结构影响，当前市场呈现出明显分化：低价房销售 持续承压，高端市场相对坚挺。其中，售价在10万至25万美元区间的房屋销量同比下降近8%，而售价 超过100万美元的房屋销量则同比增长1.4%。 在房价高企、按揭利率长期维持高位以及房源供应再度趋紧的多重压力下，美国潜在购房者正面临更为 严峻的购房环境，二手房市场复苏动能依然有限。 美国全国房地产经纪人协会(NAR)周五公布的数据显示，11月美国成屋销售环比仅增长0.5%，但同比仍 下降1%，经季节调整后的年化销售量为4 ...
