说到存量土地的大户，就不得不提大家这几年所熟知的城投公司。 自2021年开始，房企拿地积极性下降，城投就变成了多个城市土拍的主力军，拿地规模一直居高不下 众所周知，今年地产行业最重要的目标之一就是"去库存"。 不光要抓紧去化数量巨大的存量商品房，还要处置规模更为庞大的存量土地。 尤其在三四线城市，直接差不多快要承包了整个土地市场（详见：《城投公司快要承包整个土地市场了》）。 但是最近我们发现，各地城投公司现在又有了新的变化。 一 终于，城投拿地也开始锐减了。 据CRIC统计，2024年全国重点30城的城投拿地占比高达64%，一举来到了近几年的最高点。 不过今年形势发生了极剧变化，城投从各地的土拍名单中退潮了。一季度，全国重点30城的城投拿地总建面不足2000万平方米，占比更是大幅下降，已经 回落到了50%的水平。 进入4月，全国22城市区共出让涉宅地73宗，总出让金为871.4亿元。 城投类企业拿地金额只有219.8亿元，占比进一步下滑到了25.2%。 具体来看，深圳和广州两大一线城市较为突出。 深圳过去含住宅地块出让较少，而且较多都是租赁用房地块，所以城投拿地占比长期在50%以上。 到目前为止，深圳只卖了龙 ...

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㎡ ...
