Core Viewpoint - High-rise residential buildings, once desirable, are facing significant challenges that may lead to their obsolescence in the coming decade due to issues like high shared areas, elevator maintenance, and overall building aging [1][26]. Group 1: Shared Area Issues - The problem of shared area is often overlooked when purchasing a home, with many high-rise buildings having up to 25% of the total area as shared space, resulting in only 75 square meters of usable space from a 100 square meter purchase [3][5]. - The financial burden of these shared areas accumulates over time, leading to additional costs for heating, property management, and waste disposal, which can amount to tens of thousands over the years [5][7]. - The market is becoming increasingly resistant to properties with high shared areas, as low usable space not only affects current living conditions but also diminishes future resale value [7]. Group 2: Elevator Challenges - Elevators, initially a source of convenience, become a significant concern as they approach the end of their 15-20 year lifespan, leading to frequent malfunctions and costly repairs [8][10]. - The cost of major elevator repairs can start at 300,000 yuan, with complete replacements costing upwards of 500,000 yuan, which can total over a million for multiple elevators in a building [10][12]. - The rising proportion of elderly residents in high-rises exacerbates the issue, as elevator failures can severely impact their mobility and quality of life [14]. Group 3: Building Aging Crisis - Concerns about building safety, particularly in emergencies like fires, are growing, as many high-rises are not equipped to handle such situations effectively [16][19]. - The internal structure of high-rises can create a "chimney effect" during fires, rapidly spreading smoke and making evacuation difficult [16][17]. - External building maintenance issues, such as deteriorating facades and aging infrastructure, pose additional risks, with residents often left to manage these problems themselves due to insufficient support from property management or government [19][21]. Group 4: Recommendations for Future Management - To mitigate risks, potential buyers should focus on properties with lower shared areas and higher usable space, as well as closely monitor elevator conditions and maintenance records [22][24]. - Awareness of government policies supporting elevator maintenance and updates can help reduce financial burdens on residents [24]. - Community involvement in safety practices, such as keeping fire exits clear and participating in fire drills, is crucial for enhancing overall safety in high-rise living environments [24][26].

Core Viewpoint - The ongoing discussion about the cancellation of shared area in real estate has raised concerns among potential homebuyers, prompting a need for careful decision-making in a fluctuating market [1][3]. Group 1: Market Overview - According to the China Real Estate Association, the national sales area of commercial housing decreased by 3.6% year-on-year, with housing prices remaining stable month-on-month, indicating a generally stable market [1]. - A survey by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development revealed that the average shared area ratio in residential communities across 300 major cities is 22.7%, with first-tier cities averaging 25.8% [3]. Group 2: Shared Area Concerns - The shared area, which includes common spaces like stairwells and elevators, can account for a significant portion of the total area, with some developments having ratios as high as 30% [3]. - The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development announced plans to explore pricing based on usable area rather than total area, which has sparked widespread discussion in the market [4]. Group 3: Buyer Recommendations - Buyers are advised to focus on the actual usable area and shared area ratio when considering a property, as these factors directly impact the value and livability of the home [4][11]. - The quality of the property, community services, and surrounding amenities are increasingly important for buyer satisfaction, with property service quality being the top factor influencing homeowner satisfaction at 32% [7]. Group 4: Future Implications - Even if the pricing policy shifts to focus on usable area, it is expected that total housing prices will not see significant changes in the short term, as developers may adjust unit prices accordingly [8]. - The potential for a decrease in average shared area ratios in new residential projects could enhance market competitiveness and benefit buyers [8]. Group 5: Market Sentiment - The real estate market is projected to remain stable from the second half of 2025 to the first half of 2026, suggesting that now may be a suitable time for buyers with clear needs [12]. - Buyers are encouraged to remain rational and informed, making decisions based on personal circumstances rather than market rumors or policy changes [13].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent surge in high usable area ratios (得房率) in real estate, comparing it to a past trend of "gifted area" in housing projects, and questions the validity and implications of these marketing strategies [1][4][35]. Group 1: Usable Area Ratio (得房率) Insights - The usable area ratio is a key indicator of residential practicality, calculated as the ratio of usable area to total saleable area [1][2]. - Misconceptions about usable area ratio include the belief that it can exceed 100%, which is often a marketing tactic by developers [7][8]. - A higher usable area ratio is generally perceived as better, but it must be balanced with considerations of shared space and overall living quality [8][31]. Group 2: Factors Influencing Usable Area Ratio - Building design standards and regional differences significantly impact usable area ratios, with regulations dictating minimum public space requirements [9][10][12]. - The height and type of residential buildings affect the usable area ratio, with higher buildings typically having lower ratios due to increased safety and design requirements [18][20][21]. - Community quality and public facility standards also play a role in determining usable area ratios, as higher quality amenities can lead to increased public space and thus lower usable area ratios [22][23]. Group 3: Policy and Regulatory Context - Current regulations lack upper limits on public space ratios, leading to potential disputes and consumer dissatisfaction [34]. - Transparency in area measurement is insufficient, with some cities implementing measures to improve clarity for buyers [34]. - International practices suggest a shift towards more consumer-friendly area measurement standards, which could influence future regulations in the domestic market [34][36]. Group 4: Future Trends - The balance between usable area ratio and public space is essential for enhancing living quality, moving towards a focus on design efficiency rather than mere area competition [35][36]. - As policies evolve, the industry may transition from a focus on area metrics to a more quality-driven approach in housing development [36].
