租房中介，是普通人到一个新城市落脚的初始向导。相当于一个城市的赏金猎人，通过完成雇主的高难任务获得酬劳。 在别的城市当租房中介，最难办的事，充其量是时不时碰见几个预算不高还啥都想要的愣头青。 但如果是在沈阳做中介，除了要对本职工作精通之外，还得掌握点别的狠活技能。 探房短视频赛道早就不算新鲜了，唯独沈阳的房源看起来说法最多。 市面上普遍的租房介绍视频，主要也就聚焦在"房型、租金、地段"上，想在这基础上再要猎奇一点，范围也始终脱离不开居住环境的从夯到拉。 而沈阳中介经手的房子可以大致分为三个大类： 能住、不能住、疑似要和什么东西同住。 哪怕是对风水玄学一窍不通的普通人，也能从沈阳楼房搭建、室内格局里看出点不对劲，大多数人，光是站在这样的走廊一端就已经失去了看房的勇气。 沈阳的中介长期穿梭在相似环境里，且能吃上这碗饭，就说明身上多少有点能耐。 他们的日常，就是每天带着大批量法器，能去常人不敢去的地方，搞定一般人搞不定的租房需求，工作日常的一部分，就是高频与魂环打交道。 看得出来，东北房产界有自己的康斯坦丁。 都市小说第一章： 沈阳来了个新中介 沈阳租房现状，已经无限接近一场大型的密室逃脱。 在随机走进一栋典型赫鲁 ...

"住着住着家要换了。"这个冬天，长租公寓租客周洲（化名）感觉有点冷。 对于周洲来说，这或许是少数的好消息。她决定周末在周边看看房子，尽早决定换租还是退租。她也在考虑别的退路——政府保租房。 租金下降1200元，房东也在随行就市 和买卖市场的走势相仿，深圳租赁市场进入淡季后整体降温，但局部板块仍保持活跃，分化趋势明显。 "也要看缘分，在坂田有钱也不一定能找到合适的房子。"龙岗坂田链家经纪人王伟杰如此形容当前区域租赁市场的特殊性。 坂田作为深圳较早开发的工业园区，在本世纪初开始建设，周边城中村较多，老旧小区占据主导。对于租客来说，选择性有限，即便支付能力强，也不一 定能租到合适的房源。 周洲租住在某大型长租公寓品牌位于龙岗坂田某城中村的房源。几天前，管家突然通知称她，出于业主"重新规划资产"，原房东将收回房源自行运营。摆 在周洲面前的只有两个选择：换到品牌旗下其他门店，或者领违约金退租。无论哪个选项，她都得在月底前从已经熟悉的生活抽身。 同样收到清退通知的还有住在宝安福永的曾斐（化名）。管家给出的理由是：合同到期，整栋物业将交还业主经营，"预计在12月31日正式与大家告别"。 所幸经过协商，业主愿意降租400元并 ...

从总价分布上看，10月总价低于200万元和高于1000万元的房屋成交占比均有提升，均价低于4万元/平 方米和处于10万元／平方米-12万元/平方米区间的房屋占比亦有不同程度提升，反映出新市民、品质改 善及教育相关需求入市增加。 新房市场方面，2025年10月，北京新建商品住宅成交3211套，同比、环比分别下降24.3%、2.4%，去年 同期受政策影响，成交基数较高，同比出现较大波动，当前市场处于中位成交水平。 成交均价同比上 涨3.8%、环比下降2.2%。 高原认为，从成交结构来看，刚需市场支撑较强，改善需求分化较大，高端市场价值凸显，这种"哑铃 型"需求结构预示着新房市场正在从单一房产向综合价值体系演进。 根据北京市住建委官网数据，2025年10月北京市二手住宅网签量为12087套，同比下降30.4%，环比下 降23.7%。 北京链家研究院院长高原分析称，网签量下降主要受"高基数效应"影响。同比来看，去年10月 受"930"政策影响网签量整体较高；环比来看，9月份受多方因素影响网签量也高于一般月份。此外，10 月工作日数量较少，网签减少属正常现象。 高原介绍，从链家签约数据看，10月成交量略低于9月份，走势 ...

看房时确认是三居室，交完定金后却"惊现"第四个房间。在北京市通州区租房的尚某，以房东存在违法 群租行为为由，将其诉至法院。 通州区人民法院经审理认为，赵某单方搬离行为已构成违约，应承担相应违约责任。 然而，对于合同约定的高额违约金，法院并未一概认可。法院认为，本案中，物业公司仅提交了单方制 作的支出明细表，未能充分证明其实际损失达到约定违约金的数额。因此，法院结合合同的履行情况、 当事人过错程度等因素，依法对过高的违约金数额予以调减。 日前，北京市通州区人民法院发布的《住房租赁案件审判白皮书（2022-2025）》显示，2022年1月至 2025年6月，该法院受理住房租赁纠纷案8500余件，案件数量呈持续快速增长态势，超七成案件涉及中 介公司，这些中介公司多以被告身份应诉，成为纠纷的主要源头。 此前，尚某通过中介平台联系到出租人朱某，相约查看一套三室一卫房源。看房时，双方多次确认房屋 有3个卧室，最多供3人合租，尚某当场通过微信支付2100元定金，准备租下其中一个房间。然而，在签 订正式合同前夕，在朱某发来的房屋视频中，尚某发现凭空多出一个房间——原本的餐厅被隔断成第四 间卧室。 "当时感到被骗了。"尚某说， ...
