当前，房地产市场呈现出三个清晰的趋势，预示着一场长期的调整在所难免。 趋势一：商品房已然供过于求，市场趋于饱和。 潮起潮落，楼市的漫长调整已然来临 二十余载风云变幻，中国房地产市场曾如日中天，全国平均房价飙升了惊人的五倍半。即便时至今日， 各地房价依旧如高山般巍然不动。数据显示，2022年10月，全国百城新建商品住宅的平均价格高达每平 方米16199元，二手房价格也达到每平方米15945元。这意味着，对于普通家庭而言，购置一套商品房， 动辄需要花费120万到200万人民币，其沉重的经济负担不言而喻。 然而，自去年下半年起，房地产市场的这艘巨轮开始缓缓调头，越来越多的城市房价加入了下跌的行 列。截至10月，全国70个大中城市中，新建商品住宅和二手住宅的销售价格环比下跌的城市数量分别达 到了58个和62个，较上月各自增加了4个和1个。面对这一转变，诸多业界专家纷纷发出预警，提醒人们 需为明年的"潮水退去"做好充分的准备。 目前，我国拥有住房的家庭比例高达96%，更有41.5%的家庭拥有两套及以上房产，这表明房地产市场 的确已接近饱和状态。与此同时，我国的空置房数量触目惊心，高达7500万套。在"房多人少"的供需关 ...

房地产市场一直都是一个非常敏感的话题。最近几年，由于政策调整和市场调整，许多城市的房价开始下降。在这种情况下，很多人选择在房价下跌的时 候卖房，以避免进一步损失。然而，即使房价下跌，也有人卖不掉房子。 近日， 东论网友" 月下鹰翔"发帖称：18年高位买的房子花了210万，挂网一年，但都因价钱不合适而不成功， 而后重新挂牌出售180万都卖不出去… 该业主的情况并非个例。事实上，近几年来房地产市场下跌的情况很普遍。在这种情况下，很多人选择卖掉房子以减少损失。但是，有些人即使降价也卖 不掉房子，造成了巨大的经济压力和心理压力。 图源东论网友； 对于该业主的经历，东论网友"可乐大叔"称： "现在90%的房子都失去流动性了，很多人不是不想买，是根本没钱。" 更有网友直言， 只要价格合适，没有卖不掉的房子，而且要做好是被买家大砍一刀的准备，否则很难卖…… 也有网友认为 按照如今的行情，便宜卖出便宜买进，想在同一时间高价卖出低价买进是不现实的事。 明明成交数据还不错，那为啥许多二手房东都觉得不好卖呢？这其实是现阶段买家和卖家的心理纠缠。买家捂紧荷包，左挑右选，总想着自己能再砍一 刀；而卖家死守价格，寄希望于市场还能翻一轮身 ...

近期，全国各地房地产市场可谓是喜讯频传。除了持续下调的房贷利率和首付比例，部分地区更是出台 了新的激励措施，鼓励购房者入市。例如，郑州已经推出了允许使用住房公积金支付购房首付款的业 务；合肥也紧随其后，宣布自5月23日起，新建商品房的购房者可提取公积金用于支付首付款。与此同 时，业界专家也纷纷建言献策，呼吁对北京、上海、广州、深圳等一线城市现行的限购限售政策进行审 慎的优化调整。 信号三：银行房贷业务罕见出现负增长 我国居民房贷业务出现罕见的负增长现象。数据显示，仅仅在4月份，居民部门的房贷就减少了2411亿 元，其中短期贷款减少了1255亿元，而长期贷款（主要指房贷）更是减少了1156亿元。房贷业务之所以 出现负增长，其根本原因在于，越来越多的购房者选择提前偿还房贷。 此外，尽管银行贷款利率持续下调，但居民的储蓄意愿却呈现出日益高涨的态势。今年一季度，居民存 款总额就高达9.9万亿元，平均每月新增存款约3.3万亿元。这清晰地表明，居民的购房和投资需求正在 明显减弱，而对储蓄的偏好则在显著增强。 信号四：二手房挂牌量激增 然而，纵观当下房地产市场，尽管各地除了直接降价之外，几乎所有能够想到的利好政策都已悉数推 ...

时过境迁，当我们再次审视马云多年前"未来房价如葱"的预言，或许更能体会其深刻的含义。并非房价真的会跌至葱的价格，而是指房价终将回归理性，达 到多数民众能够负担的水平。如今，三个关键信息浮出水面，似乎正预示着这一预言正逐步成为现实。 2. 刚需购房者：前些年，在高位购房的改善型家庭，不仅面临房价下跌导致首付款缩水的问题，还需承受沉重的还贷压力。如果房价回归居住属性，他们将 面临较大的经济损失。 3. 开发商：在买涨不买跌的市场规律下，房价下跌将直接导致房屋销售困难。那些资金链薄弱的中小开发商或将面临破产倒闭的风险。预计未来房地产市场 将迎来一轮洗牌，更多房企可能面临倒闭或被收购重组的命运。 1. 炒房客：那些曾坚信房价只涨不跌，错失了抛售良机的炒房客，如今面对二手房挂牌量激增和各地放松新房限价政策的局面，手中的房产难以变现，资产 大幅缩水已成定局。 其次，我国房地产市场已呈现供过于求的态势。住建部披露的数据显示，全国拥有高达6亿栋房屋，若每栋居住10人，足以容纳60亿人口。再加上每年新增 的大量商品房，房地产市场已然进入"供大于求"的时代。与此同时，高达96%的家庭拥有一套房产，其中拥有两套及以上房产的家庭占比 ...

同时，今年9月，在回应投资者有关利润下降的提问时，保利发展管理层解释，因期内房地产项目结转规模下降，公司营业总收入同比下 降，在市场出现波动背景下，结转项目盈利能力下降，相关利润指标相应同比下降。 保利发展管理层也表示："行业仍处于深度调整期，公司虽已保持较大强度的增量投资，且增量项目盈利能力较好，但存量项目较多，去库 存与盈利改善仍然需要一定周期。公司持续坚持去库存经营策略。在会计期末，公司对房地产项目进行减值测试，若出现减值情况，公司将 计提减值。" 对此，镜鉴咨询创始人张宏伟也表示："今年第三季度保利发展结转的项目大多是来源于2022年下半年至2023年这个时间段的，在这个阶 段，一方面，房地产市场行情持续下行；另一方面，这次结转的项目也有可能是之前保利发展为了冲规模目标而布局在三四线城市的项目， 这部分项目由于降价或亏本销售，在结算时影响了整体的利润表现。" 10月21日，"地产一哥"保利发展发布了2025年第三季度报告。 报告显示，保利发展第三季度营业收入568.65亿元，同比增长30.65%；归属于上市公司股东的净利润为-7.82亿元，同比下降299.19%。 保利发展在财报中表示，受行业和市场波 ...
