最近总有人问我："十年后房子会不会像白菜一样便宜？" 这问题搁五年前，我肯定笑话你杞人忧天，但现在我会认真告诉你："有可能，但要看两个关键信号。" 先看一组让人脊背发凉的数据：截至2025年4月，全国商品房待售面积达8.2亿平方米，相当于14亿人每 人"分摊"5.8平方米库存。 更可怕的是，三四线城市库存去化周期普遍超过36个月，意味着即便不卖地不建房，现有房子也够卖3 年。 武汉三环外某楼盘直接降价20%还送车位，郑州南三环公寓单价从1万跌到6000元，降幅达40%。这些 现象背后，是两个正在发酵的"蝴蝶效应"。 更狠的是房产税试点扩围，60个城市对二套房征收0.3%-0.8%的持有税，上海一套1000万的房子每年要 交4.2万税。 持有成本飙升，迫使炒房客抛售，广州某小区二手房挂牌量一年内激增300%。 第一个信号：人口结构剧变，住房需求断崖式下跌 国家统计局数据显示，2025年中国60岁以上人口将突破3亿，占比22%，正式进入深度老龄化社会。这 意味着什么？ 简单算笔账：一个三口之家变成两位老人独居，住房需求直接砍掉三分之一。 更致命的是，年轻人结婚生子意愿持续低迷，2023年全国结婚登记量仅683万对 ...

中金研究 我们认为自2022年以来的美国住宅市场已经走完一个小周期，2025年伴随美国宏观经济的潜在变化也可能出现周期的转折。目前看这种转折具体以何 种形式呈现仍存不确定性，二级市场方面也进入盘整期，等待方向的进一步明确。但结构上，后续我们更建议关注和二手房相关的上下游领域（比如 房产中介、家装零售等）的投资机会，住房成交的修复仍是大方向。 点击小程序查看报告原文 Abstract 摘要 美国市场走到哪儿了？ 美国住宅市场处于"高价格、低成交"的类滞胀状态已有两年左右的时间，期间利率的有效下行始终没有实现，而往前看降息节奏 预期的不断降低，甚至整体美国经济进入滞胀的风险边际增加，都可能令市场一直以来企盼的通过降利率来促地产回升的路径愈发脱离现实。而如果未来 的房贷利率就是长期高于目前存量贷款的利率，居民再融资的利差无法有效压降，这确实是一种和过去40年都截然不同的情形（过去40年利率总体处于下 行通道）。如果这一范式成立，后续关注的重点则应该落于资产价格本身是否会做出调整。 怎么看资产价格趋势？ 我们认为若美国经济走弱，不排除房价出现一定负向调整。历史来看，美国房价的变化和整体流动性环境的变化关系密切，202 ...
