国内房价高企，购房者往往倾尽积蓄，背负数十年房贷，才能勉强拥有一个住所。买房，无疑是人生中最重 大的一次消费决策，因此购房者对地段、户型、朝向、楼层等细节都异常关注。坊间流传着关于楼层"风水"的 说法，其中4楼、14楼、18楼尤为忌讳，谐音或意象与不祥之兆相关联，例如"4"和"14"谐音"死"，而"18"则 与"十八层地狱"联系在一起。但业内人士认为，这些楼层本身并不会影响居住体验，然而，部分楼层的确存在 一些实际问题，可能影响居住生活质量。让我们逐一分析： 四、一楼（无花园）: 一楼方便出行，无需乘坐电梯，对于老年人而言较为友好。然而，其劣势同样不容忽 视。首先，通风采光差，阳光难以直射，室内昏暗潮湿，需要长时间开灯。其次，地面噪音、蚊虫滋扰、隐 私泄露以及防盗问题都让一楼住户倍感困扰。夏天，为了防止蚊虫入侵和噪音干扰，几乎无法开窗，私密性 也较差。此外，一楼地面的潮湿也导致地板需要频繁更换，增加额外支出和维护成本。 二、二楼: 二楼的劣势与一楼相似，采光通风欠佳，同样面临防盗、噪音（尤其来自地面）、蚊虫困扰等问 题。更令人头疼的是，二楼更容易遭遇下水管道反水，尤其在夏季，厕所和盥洗室的反水现象更加严重，异 ...

美国5月新屋销售创下近三年来的最大降幅，原因是大量销售激励措施未能有效缓解负担能力限制。根 据周三公布的政府数据，新建单户型住宅销量下降13.7%，至折合年率62.3万套，为7个月来的最低水 平。这低于所有接受彭博调查的经济学家的预期。 ...

最后，冬季采光优势成为西户的加分项。虽然东户的日照时间短，主要集中在清晨，而西户的日照时间 则相对较长，特别是冬季的下午阳光能直射室内，使房间温暖舒适，方便晾晒衣物被褥。这种冬季采光 优势弥补了夏季日照的不足，提升了西户的整体居住体验。 总而言之，看似反常的西户热销现象，实则源于价格、技术进步和采光等多重因素的综合作用。在购房 者普遍面临巨大经济压力的背景下，性价比更高的西户自然成为更多人的首选。 因此，西户售罄而东 户滞销，并非偶然，而是市场规律的体现。 资深房产人士对此现象给出了三点解读： 首先，价格差异是关键因素。开发商通常会根据楼层和朝向对房屋进行价格分级，顶层和底层价格一 致，而中间楼层则另行定价。同一楼层的东户单价往往比西户高出数百甚至上千元。对于资金有限的购 房家庭而言，西户的较低价格无疑更具吸引力，从而成为他们优先考虑的选择。 其次，建筑技术的进步消除了西户的传统劣势。过去，西户因夏季西晒导致室内温度过高而令人却步。 然而，如今先进的建筑材料和隔热技术有效解决了这一问题。开发商普遍采用高性能隔热材料，显著降 低了西户的日照影响。即使在盛夏，借助空调等现代化设施，西户的室内温度也能得到有效控制， ...

今天分享的是：高盛：中国对新房的需求将保持低位（英文） 报告共计：14页 高盛报告核心内容总结：中国新房需求将持续低位运行 高盛发布报告指出，中国城市新房需求在未来一段时间内将保持低位，2025-2030年每年新增需求或略低于500万套，较2017年 2000万套的峰值下降75%，这一趋势由人口结构变化、政策转向及投资需求逆转等多重因素共同驱动。 人口结构变化抑制住房需求 中国人口在2021年达峰后开始下降，联合国预测未来人口将持续收缩，这使得人口增长对新房需求的贡献从2010年代的年均150 万套转为2020年代的-50万套和2030年代的-140万套。同时，城市化进程虽仍在推进，但速度明显放缓，2024年中国常住人口城 镇化率为67%，政府目标是2030年达到70%，这意味着2024-2030年每年城镇化率仅提高0.5个百分点，远低于2010-2020年的增 速，受此影响，城镇化对新房需求的贡献从2010年代的年均640万套降至2020年代的380万套和2030年代的280万套。不过，家庭 规模缩小在一定程度上抵消了人口和城镇化的负面影响，2000-2020年，中国城市"一代户"比例从27%升至50%，预 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of adhering to the "5 don't choose" principles when buying a house to avoid potential regrets and ensure a satisfactory living experience. Group 1: Location - Do not choose properties in remote locations as they may offer lower prices but significantly reduce convenience for commuting, schooling, and healthcare access [1] Group 2: Property Management - Do not choose properties with unreliable property management, as poor management can lead to issues such as frequent power and water outages, affecting the quality of life and property value [3] Group 3: House Layout - Do not choose houses with awkward layouts, as they can lead to discomfort and difficulties in daily living, such as noise from busy roads or poor ventilation in kitchens [5][6] Group 4: Construction Quality - Do not choose properties with quality issues, as substandard construction can result in significant repair costs and safety hazards over time [8] Group 5: Development Potential - Do not choose properties without development potential, as locations near transportation, schools, and commercial centers may have higher future appreciation, while areas lacking such potential should be avoided regardless of current low prices [10]
