大家好，在进入正文之前，给大家做一个推荐。 我的一个设计师好友夏夏，从LXD离职后，经历过设计创业的失败，后同小伙伴一起经营了一些自媒体账号，分享全球优秀设计工作室的作品。良心干 货，超前理念，你想看的好设计全都有❗ 如果你也是设计师，想邀请你一起关注一下，这里只有好设计，真的超有料❗ ▼ 计~ 不知大家是否留意到，近来有越来越多的人，将目光投向了那些房龄较长且没有电梯的"步梯房"， 这些房子外观看似普通，甚至略显陈旧，然而却在地下市场中悄然走红，成为了一批内行人眼中备受青睐的对象，这背后究竟潜藏着怎样的秘密呢？今日 便来和大家探讨一下这个话题。 步梯房为何会突然变得"吃香"呢？ 步梯房有一个极为突出的优势，那便是得房率高 相较于当下流行的电梯房，步梯房由于没有电梯等公共设施，实际的使用面积往往会比同等建筑面积的电梯房高出10%至15%，这意味着，倘若同样购买 100平米的房子，步梯房有可能会多出一个房间的面积。 步梯房的价格相对较为低廉 其一，拆迁改造潜力较大 随着城市更新进程的加速，许多城市的步梯房小区已然步入了拆迁或改造的窗口期。那些楼层不高且占地面积较大的老小区，大多时候会成为开发商眼中 的"香饽饽" ...

"当初脑子一热买了步梯房，现在肠子都悔青了！降价十几万都没人要，真是砸手里了！" 在杭州做房产中介快 20 年的老李，提起 15 年前花 120 万买的 51.6㎡老步梯房，一肚子苦水。当年他跟风买房，就盼着拆迁一夜暴富，可 15 年过去，拆迁梦彻底破碎，房子不仅没升值，还亏了几十万利息。 如今在房产市场上，像老李这样的情况不在少数。越来越多的步梯房陷入 "不值钱、卖不动" 的困境，三四线城市的步梯房价格甚至直接腰斩，京城的步梯 学区房也退回了七八年前的水平。过来人纷纷劝诫：步梯房再便宜也别轻易入手，除非是这两种特殊情况！ 步梯房的顶楼，价格往往比其他楼层便宜不少，可这便宜真不是那么好占的。最大的问题就是冬冷夏热，夏天屋里像个 "蒸笼"，哪怕空调开到 23℃、 24℃，还是觉得闷热难耐，电费蹭蹭往上涨；冬天又像个 "冰窖"，暖气再足也不如中间楼层暖和。 比冬冷夏热更让人崩溃的是漏水问题，这简直是步梯房顶楼的 "老顽疾"。网友 @阿梅 住步梯房顶楼已经 8 年了，说起漏水就一肚子火："这房子漏水就没 根治过，隔个三五年就得修一次房顶，每次都要花几千块。一开始以为物业会管，结果人家说屋顶漏水是业主自担，原则上是所 ...

蒋敏的购房经历，如今想来满是苦涩。2019年，她听信中介天花乱坠的描述，兴冲冲地买下了一套五楼的二手步梯房。中介极力渲染步梯房采光好、通风 佳、户型优，还特别强调物业费低廉，升值潜力巨大。然而，入住仅仅一年，各种问题便如潮水般涌来，让她叫苦不迭。如今，即便大幅降价，房子也无人 问津，价值更是持续缩水。不堪重负的蒋敏在网上发帖，以自身经历告诫大家："步梯房再便宜，也要慎重考虑！" 那么，步梯房究竟隐藏着哪些不为人知的缺陷呢？我们不妨深入了解一下： 当然，如果刚需购房家庭确实需要购买步梯房，也并非完全没有选择。建议优先考虑房龄在5到15年之间的房屋，房龄越小越好。此外，选择三楼或四楼的 步梯房，既能保证一定的出行便利性，也更容易转手出售。选择时务必慎重考虑，切勿盲目听信中介的片面之词。 A NOT CHICH THE ISTOU ti Ounting P LIAD B THE SE 低层顶层，各有烦恼。 一些购房者贪图便宜，选择一楼或顶楼。一楼住户很快发现，蚊虫肆虐，根本不敢开窗通风，室内阴暗潮湿，白天也需要开灯照 明。而顶楼住户则饱受漏水之苦，尤其在梅雨季节，房顶漏水更是家常便饭，修缮过后依然无法根治，年年修补 ...

最后，拆迁难度大。老旧的电梯房面临拆迁的难度较大。由于电梯房居住人口密度高，政府拆迁需要投入的资金成本巨大，拆迁安置难度也随之增加。这意 味着老旧的电梯房可能难以像老旧步梯房那样有机会迎来拆迁改造的机遇，最终可能面临无人接盘的窘境。 综上所述，在未来的楼市竞争中，"步梯房"或将凭借其得房率高、安全性好、维护成本低以及拆迁潜力等优势，展现出更强的生命力和投资价值。当然，购 房选择还需结合自身实际情况和需求，谨慎权衡。 其次，安全性更高。在突发情况下，步梯房的优势显露无疑。想象一下，如果发生火灾或地震，居住在步梯房中的居民可以迅速通过楼梯逃生。而电梯房在 紧急情况下往往会停止运行，高层住户只能选择步行下楼，这无疑增加了逃生难度和时间，也给外部救援带来了挑战。从安全角度考虑，步梯房的优势不言 而喻。 再次，维护成本更低。电梯房需要配备和维护电梯等电力设备，这些设备的日常运营和维护成本较高，需要业主承担更多的维修基金。相比之下，步梯房无 需承担这些费用，维护成本较低，物业费也相对更低。此外，国家政策导向也逐渐倾向于限制高层建筑的建设，中小城市控制超高层建筑，大城市也将对高 层建筑进行限制。这些政策都可能使得未来的步梯 ...

Core Viewpoint - The current real estate market is experiencing a downturn, leading to declining sales for developers and an increase in second-hand housing listings. For first-time homebuyers, purchasing a home remains a crucial decision impacting marriage, residency, and children's education. This has raised questions about the investment value of elevator apartments versus walk-up apartments over the next five years [1]. Group 1: Investment Value Comparison - Walk-up apartments generally offer a higher usable area due to lower shared space ratios, typically between 10% to 15%, compared to elevator apartments which can have shared space ratios of 25% to 30%. This means a 100 square meter elevator apartment may only provide around 70 square meters of usable space, while a walk-up apartment can provide 85 square meters or more [4]. - The safety aspect favors walk-up apartments, as residents can quickly evacuate via stairs during emergencies like fires or earthquakes, whereas elevators may become inoperable, complicating evacuation efforts [5]. - Maintenance costs for elevator apartments are higher due to the need for elevator installation and upkeep, which translates into increased fees for residents. In contrast, walk-up apartments do not incur these additional costs, making them more financially appealing [6]. Group 2: Future Market Trends - Elevator apartments face challenges regarding demolition due to high residential density and associated costs, making it economically less viable for governments to invest in their relocation. This could lead to older elevator apartments being less desirable in the market compared to older walk-up apartments, which may have better opportunities for redevelopment [7].

Core Insights - The current housing market is experiencing a surge in demand due to relaxed purchasing policies and lower mortgage rates, leading to unprecedented opportunities for first-time and upgrading homebuyers [1] - Potential buyers face a dilemma between choosing traditional "staircase houses" and modern "elevator houses," raising questions about their future value [1] Group 1: Staircase Houses - Staircase houses have a smaller shared area, allowing buyers to enjoy more usable indoor space [2] - They incur lower property management fees, providing savings for homeowners [2] - The safety aspect is higher, especially in emergencies, as escape routes are more accessible [2] Group 2: Elevator Houses - Elevator houses offer expansive views and better natural light, creating a more comfortable living environment [3] - The convenience of elevators eliminates the need for climbing stairs daily [3] Group 3: Disadvantages of Elevator Houses - Elevator houses typically have larger shared areas, which can reduce the actual usable space significantly, leading to higher overall costs for homeowners [6] - Maintenance costs for elevators and other shared facilities can escalate over time, burdening residents with additional expenses [7] - The potential for demolition is lower for elevator houses due to the complexity and cost associated with relocating a larger number of residents [8] - In emergencies, elevator houses pose greater risks as elevator systems may fail, complicating evacuation efforts [8]

Core Insights - The article discusses a shift in real estate investment focus towards older, low-rise buildings in city centers, which are perceived as valuable urban "equity" rather than mere physical properties [1][3][10] Group 1: Investment Perspective - Investors are purchasing not just buildings, but the core, scarce "equity" of the city, as these older low-rise buildings occupy prime locations that cannot be replicated [3][5] - The value of properties in top school districts with comprehensive amenities is significantly higher than that of luxury villas in suburban areas, emphasizing the importance of location [5][8] - These properties are seen as resilient assets with minimal speculative risk, having undergone rigorous valuation over time [5][8] Group 2: Lifestyle and Experience - The modern emphasis on efficiency has led to a loss of personal connection with time, and owning a low-rise building allows for a more mindful and connected lifestyle [5][6] - The experience of walking up stairs rather than using elevators fosters a deeper appreciation for life and community interactions [5][6] Group 3: Risk Management - Low-rise buildings present a simpler living experience with lower maintenance risks compared to high-rise apartments, which rely on complex systems that can fail [6][8] - These properties serve as a stabilizing asset in investment portfolios, providing a "safe harbor" during market fluctuations due to their enduring value [8][10]

Core Viewpoint - The resurgence of interest in older walk-up apartments, particularly top-floor units, is driven by their affordability and potential for future value appreciation through urban redevelopment and renovation projects [1][3]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - Older walk-up apartments are being purchased due to their significantly lower prices compared to newer developments, with examples showing prices as low as 200 million yuan for 60 square meters in Shenzhen and 10 million yuan for 80 square meters in Tonghua [3]. - The price difference for top-floor units can be substantial, with savings of 40-50 million yuan for a 100 square meter apartment in Shanghai compared to lower floors, creating a profit margin for investors [3]. Group 2: Investment Opportunities - Investors are betting on potential demolition and compensation, as compensation is calculated based on area rather than floor level, leading to high return rates if redevelopment occurs [5]. - Renovation of older apartments can significantly increase their value, with post-renovation price premiums of 15% and rental yields rising by 15-20%, making them attractive for rental income [6][7]. Group 3: Government Policies - Local governments are actively purchasing older properties for redevelopment, which boosts market confidence and provides a safety net for investors [9][11]. - Policies supporting the acquisition of older properties are making previously unsellable units more appealing, as they may be eligible for government buyouts [9]. Group 4: Location and Demand - The location of older walk-up apartments is crucial; those near public transport and essential services are more desirable, ensuring a steady demand for rentals and easier resale [12]. - Low total price points for small units are attracting budget-conscious investors, with quick turnover potential in markets like Weihai [14]. Group 5: Risks and Considerations - While top-floor units offer high potential returns, they also come with risks such as uncertain demolition plans and high maintenance costs due to aging infrastructure [16].

Core Viewpoint - Wealthy individuals are increasingly acquiring "staircase houses" despite their age and infrastructure issues, driven by various investment motivations [1][5]. Group 1: Advantages of Staircase Houses - Staircase houses are often located in prime urban areas with comprehensive amenities such as supermarkets, hospitals, schools, and public transport, making them convenient for residents [3]. - The price of staircase houses is significantly lower than that of elevator-equipped houses, and they typically have a higher usable area ratio [3]. - Staircase houses, usually 5-6 stories high, offer better safety in emergencies like fires or earthquakes, allowing for quicker evacuation compared to taller buildings [3]. Group 2: Investment Motivations - Wealthy individuals are purchasing staircase houses to rent them out, generating rental income. For instance, a 38 square meter staircase house in Shanghai's Jing'an District can be bought for 1.8 million, yielding an annual rental income of approximately 50,000, which is more profitable than bank savings [7]. - The potential for property appreciation through urban renewal projects or original reconstruction is a significant draw. Renovations can enhance the property's value, making it easier to sell or rent [9]. - There is also the possibility of demolition and redevelopment, which can lead to substantial returns. For example, a 40 square meter staircase house purchased for around 2 million could yield over 6.3 million in compensation if demolished [11]. Group 3: Market Conditions - The current market sees a decline in staircase house prices, with drops exceeding 30%, leading to a decrease in second-hand property transactions and rental prices [11]. - Despite the potential for high returns, the overall investment risk remains considerable due to the current downward trend in property values and rental income [11].

Group 1: Core Insights - The rising interest in "staircase apartments" among wealthy individuals is attributed to their location in "golden areas" of cities, which are often more desirable than newly built elevator apartments located in suburban areas [3][4] - Staircase apartments typically offer lower density living environments, providing a quieter and more comfortable atmosphere compared to high-rise elevator buildings [5][6] - The practical utility of staircase apartments is enhanced by their lower common area expenses, resulting in more usable living space compared to elevator apartments [7] Group 2: Value Proposition - Staircase apartments are generally priced 20% to 30% lower than elevator apartments in the same area, allowing for additional funds to be allocated for personalized renovations [8] - The potential for customization in staircase apartments is high due to their solid brick structures, enabling significant upgrades that can enhance comfort and future value [8] - The article emphasizes the importance of selecting the right staircase apartment, including considerations for floor level, property management quality, and thorough inspection of the building's condition [9]
