Core Insights - The article discusses three types of properties that are expected to be valuable investments over the next five years, supported by data and policy analysis [1] Group 1: Property Types - First type: Core location new or small apartments, particularly in city centers where land supply is limited, leading to significant price increases, such as a 50% rise in Xiamen's new properties [3][4] - Second type: Quality school district properties, which must meet the criteria of being in top school districts and being relatively new; for example, properties in Shanghai's dual school districts are still in high demand despite concerns about older school district properties [4][5] - Third type: Properties in emerging areas along future subway lines, with significant price appreciation expected before and after the subway opens, such as a projected 30% increase in property prices along the planned subway line in Shenyang [6][7] Group 2: Underlying Logic - Policy direction: The central government is promoting urban renewal, benefiting core new properties and subway-planned areas, with 300 cities initiating urban village renovations [7] - Population flow: There is a continued influx of people into first-tier cities, while third and fourth-tier cities are experiencing population outflows, with a 45% year-on-year increase in second-hand home transactions in first-tier cities [8] - Housing upgrades: New residential project standards are enhancing the competitiveness of new and emerging area properties, including requirements for higher ceilings and better sound insulation [8]

上海过江地铁一站路，房价便宜上百万...... 你是否经常在网络上听到这样一句话，说的就是老闵行黄浦江对面的奉贤西渡！ 虽然上海地铁5号线，老闵行的江川路和奉贤的西渡只是相差一站路，但是两个板块的房价却是完全两个概念. 我们在房产网站上可以看到，老闵行这边的二手房均价在将近4万左右一平米，而西渡这边的均价才2万5左右一平米，这完全是一个天上一个地下。 奉贤西渡，这里步行到地铁站几百米的小区，老房子的小户型八九十万就能买到一套。 那么你是愿意呆在闵行还是奉贤呢? 现实中很多人买在西渡的，都是考虑到闵行或市区方向的通勤，闵行和市区的预算不够，只能退而求次选择西渡了，也可以说是经济条件下的迫不得已， 但内心肯定是倾向于闵行，因为毕竟地段不一样，生活配套，医疗和教育资源也不一样。 虽然有很多人说老闵行现在没有了以往的辉煌，但毕竟瘦死的骆驼比马大。 甚至还有人说西渡的位置比宇宙中心大南桥还要好，只是城市界面不如南桥。 这说的不是废话吗？ 如果拿金汇出来和西渡比一比还能有点争议，但是和南桥比，除了离市区更近一些，好像找不到任何优势，对了那就是房价上占点优势！ 所以这也是房价低的原因...... 可以说是上海最便宜的地铁房 ...

Core Insights - The value of low-rise buildings with potential for elevator installation in prime locations may surpass that of new elevator-equipped buildings in suburban areas [3][12] - Key factors influencing this valuation include location, renovation potential, and holding costs [3][5] Location - "Location is king" remains a timeless principle in real estate; for instance, step-up buildings in central Beijing from the 1990s have seen compensation prices reach 80,000 yuan per square meter, while elevator-equipped buildings in the same area only increased by 3% [3] - The convenience of older step-up buildings, often located near essential amenities, significantly enhances their value compared to suburban elevator buildings [3][4] Policy Benefits - Recent regulations from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development emphasize the installation of elevators in older communities, with subsidies covering up to 45% of installation costs [4] - The price of step-up buildings with newly installed elevators can increase by 10%-20% in first-tier cities, while elevator-equipped buildings have seen a price drop of 12% [4][10] Renovation Potential - Not all step-up buildings can benefit from policy incentives; those over 30 years old or with divided owner opinions may face challenges in elevator installation [5][10] - Buyers should prioritize step-up buildings with high renovation potential and community support for upgrades [5] Holding Costs - Elevator-equipped buildings typically have a higher shared area (25%-30%) compared to step-up buildings (10%-15%), leading to higher overall costs for buyers [6][7] - Maintenance costs for elevators can be significant, with average monthly property fees for elevator buildings at 4.2 yuan per square meter, compared to 2.3 yuan for step-up buildings [7] Market Trends - Younger generations, particularly those born in the 1990s, are increasingly open to purchasing low-rise step-up buildings if they are in desirable locations and reasonably priced [8][9] - The liquidity of step-up buildings in prime locations remains strong, with a higher proportion of cash purchases compared to elevator-equipped buildings [10] Future Outlook - The value differentiation between elevator-equipped and step-up buildings is expected to intensify over the next five years, with prime step-up buildings becoming increasingly sought after [11][12] - Buyers with limited budgets are advised to consider low-rise step-up buildings in core areas, especially those included in renovation plans, while those seeking quality may opt for newer elevator buildings, keeping in mind the higher long-term costs [12]

Core Viewpoint - The real estate market is facing a significant downturn due to an oversupply of housing and increasing costs associated with property ownership, leading to a shift in buyer priorities from investment to livability [1][3]. Group 1: Market Conditions - There are 600 million buildings nationwide, indicating a surplus in housing supply [1]. - The likelihood of property tax expansion in the next five years will increase the cost of holding real estate, making speculative investments riskier [1]. Group 2: Changing Buyer Preferences - Young buyers are prioritizing "living well" over "investment value," with 63% of post-95 buyers considering commuting convenience as their top priority [3]. - This shift is leading to a depreciation in certain property values, particularly in three categories of homes that may become worthless in five years [3]. Group 3: Specific Property Challenges - **Suburban Properties**: - Suffer from industrial hollowing, with many planned areas lacking actual development, leading to low occupancy rates [4]. - Experience "supporting facility desertification," resulting in long commutes and poor living conditions [6]. - Face population outflow, with some areas seeing a 23% loss in registered residents, leading to a surplus of new homes and declining prices [7]. - **High-Rise Buildings**: - Are becoming "vertical slums," with significant depreciation in value due to high living costs and structural safety concerns [9][11]. - Maintenance costs are disproportionately high, making them unaffordable for average families [9]. - The cost of demolition is often prohibitive, leading to a stagnation in property value [12]. - **Seaside Properties**: - Have seen prices drop by over 50%, with low occupancy rates during off-seasons leading to maintenance issues [14]. - Owners face high annual maintenance costs, making these properties financially burdensome [16]. - Promised amenities remain unfulfilled, further diminishing property value and livability [17]. Group 4: Investment Strategies - Investors are advised to divest from low-quality assets, particularly in third and fourth-tier cities, and reinvest in prime locations to maximize rental yields [19]. - A diversified asset allocation strategy is recommended, with a suggested 40% in real estate and the remainder in long-term government bonds and gold ETFs to mitigate risks [20]. Group 5: Market Outlook - The real estate market is undergoing a "淘汰赛" (elimination competition), and reliance on outdated investment strategies is likely to result in losses [21].

七层以下的房子，不能选4楼？错了！其实要谨慎购买的是这2个楼层！ 我感到非常惊讶，追问其原因，小丽解释说，常听人说数字4带来厄运，4楼的风水也不好。听后，我立 刻反驳，并坚决告诉她，这种说法毫无根据！实际上，有这两个楼层更需要慎重选择。 首先讨论的是1楼。不论是七层以下的多层住宅，还是十几层的小高层，甚至是三十多层的高层，1楼普 遍存在的六大问题包括：采光不足、视野受限、通风较差、安全问题、隐私差和潮湿多虫。 特别需要注意的是隐私问题。住在一楼，常常需要拉上窗帘来阻挡外人的视线，否则屋内的一切都暴露 无遗，这几乎剥夺了所有的私人空间。虽然拉窗帘看似简单，但这会进一步阻挡光线。一楼本就采光不 佳，加上窗帘，屋内就变得更加昏暗，谁愿意住在这样的环境中呢？更何况，长时间没有阳光，不仅影 响心情，也会对健康造成不良影响。 通常被称为多层住宅的七层以下的房子，每一层都有其利与弊，尽管楼层不多，但对于初次购房者来 说，选楼层仍旧是一大难题！接下来，让我来逐一分析每个楼层的好坏。 当然，1楼也有它的优点，例如价格较低，适合预算有限的买家；此外，进出方便，不依赖电梯，特别 适合老年人或行动不便的人。除此之外，1楼似乎没有其他 ...
