现在网上很多人吐槽买房亏钱，2021年入场的人，现在房子基本都打了对折。 有人200万的房子，现在只值100万，首付60万，贷款140万，可能现在把房子卖了之后还不够把剩余的 贷款还上。 北京海淀学区房均价10万/㎡，比同区域非学区房贵53%，家长为让孩子读名校，宁可多花300万买"老 破小"。 "远3"则是远离工厂、菜市场和主干道。以深圳为例，主干道旁住宅噪音平均超标20分贝，房价比同区 域低15%； 而工厂周边PM2.5浓度超国标2倍，二手房挂牌周期长达18个月，降价10%仍难脱手。 除了买房的时机很重要，个人认为买对好房子也很重要。 比如内行人常说，买房要避开"穷人房"，坚持"近2远3"，这不仅是经验之谈，更是数据验证的生存法 则。 今天咱们用大白话聊聊，普通人如何用这两招避开大坑，买到保值又宜居的好房子。 "近2远3"：地段决定80%的房产价值 所谓"近2"，就是靠近地铁和学校。厦门房票政策推行4个月，撬动购房资金100.3亿元，消化新房31.7万 ㎡，其中地铁1公里内的楼盘成交占比高达65%。 当然了，楼市和股市很像，有人买房赔钱就有人买房赚钱，实现资产的翻倍。 原因很简单：地铁缩短通勤时间，提升生 ...

准备购置人生中的第一套房产，我自己积攒了80万元，父母又资助了50万元，计划用于一套120平米的三房房子作为首付。目前我关注的小区均价为每平 米2万元，原以为签合同会是个顺利的过程，然而却与父母在"朝东还是朝西"这一问题上争执了整整三天。我的偏好是西户，而父母则一意坚持选东户。 各自有各自的理由，虽然购房的主要决策权在我手中，细想父母的观点似乎也有一定道理，这让我一时拿不定主意。好在最后有位行业内的朋友给出了建 议，最终我们才达成了一致。 父母偏爱东户的理由： 1. 早晨阳光的 好处：东户在清晨阳光初升时，光线便透入客厅，非常明亮。父母早起晨练、看报纸的环境便很舒适。待到下午，太阳逐渐西沉，正好可 享受一个凉爽的午休，降低空调费用。 2. 风水讲究：他们觉得"东边的房子首先能享受到阳光，因此家运会更旺"，而西边的房子取景则寓意不佳。 3. 价格背后的价值：东户每平米贵上几百元，父母认为"开发商不会亏本，贵肯定有其道理"。 由于这几个因素，父母坚持购买东户，而我则认为西户更符合我的生活习惯。 我对西户的偏爱： 1. 晚霞的治愈感：虽然西户阳光在早间较少，但对于需要赶地铁的我来说，早上根本没时间欣赏日出，反而下班 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent decline in Beijing's high-end residential market is driven by a combination of policy adjustments, supply-demand imbalances, economic conditions, and product quality issues, leading to a significant drop in property prices and increased selling activity among homeowners and investors [10][11][12][15]. Group 1: Market Trends - The housing market is experiencing a downturn, with homeowners selling properties to cover losses or invest elsewhere, particularly overseas [2]. - The demand for large units has decreased, with only first-time buyers actively purchasing, while larger homes are becoming harder to sell [2]. - In a notable case, a 369 square meter apartment sold for 29.5 million in April 2025, down from 35.6 million in January 2025, reflecting an 18% decline in just three months [3][4]. Group 2: Price Dynamics - The price of a similar unit dropped from 38.35 million in 2023 to 37.3 million in March 2024, indicating a minor decline before a more significant drop [5]. - A large unit sold for 25.7 million in April 2025, down 27% from 35 million in September 2022, showcasing the drastic price reductions in the market [9]. Group 3: Supply and Demand Factors - The supply of second-hand homes has surged, with listings increasing from under 130,000 to approximately 138,000, indicating a growing number of sellers [9]. - Approximately one-third of current sellers are investors, leading to significant price cuts on luxury properties, with some units dropping by over 1 million [11]. Group 4: Economic and Policy Influences - Recent policy changes in October 2024 aimed at stimulating demand have led to a temporary increase in transaction volumes, but developers are responding with price reductions to attract buyers [10][11]. - The overall economic slowdown and uncertainty in income expectations have weakened the investment appeal of high-end residential properties, shifting buyer focus towards more stable assets [12]. Group 5: Quality and Value Considerations - The market is witnessing a correction in property values, with some projects facing price drops due to quality issues, such as poor construction or unfavorable locations [13]. - For instance, a project near a heat plant saw prices fall by 40% due to noise concerns, highlighting the importance of quality in maintaining property values [13]. Group 6: Future Outlook - The current market dynamics suggest a potential bifurcation, where high-quality, scarce properties may stabilize in price, while those lacking in quality or location may continue to face downward pressure [15]. - Predictions indicate that while new home price declines may slow in 2025, a full recovery in market confidence will depend on broader economic improvements and sustained policy support [15].
