The trend of house prices has been a hot topic of discussion for more than 20 years, some people think that house prices will fall, and some people predict that house prices will rise. The final result is also known to everyone, house prices have risen all the way for more than 20 years, which makes people who predict the decline in house prices continue to be "punched in the face and fat", which gives people the illusion that house prices only rise and do not fall. Therefore, as long as they are the people who believed that house prices would rise in the past and bought a house, they became the final winners, and a lot of wealth accumulation was achieved through the house alone, and even many people achieved wealth freedom. And for those who have not bought a house, it is really a step wrong, a step wrong step, and finally more and more can not afford to buy a house.
For example, a friend of the author once missed the opportunity to buy a house because he thought that house prices would fall, so he did not buy a house for the time being. Finally, with the rise of house prices, the full amount became a down payment, and the final down payment was not enough, and it was completely impossible to afford to buy a house. More importantly, with the rise in house prices, the rent of the house is getting higher and higher, which makes the life pressure of this friend of the author more and more, he said bluntly that he knew that he had bought a house before, even if he borrowed money to buy a house later, it was better than now. Indeed, many people may miss the best time to buy a house, but as long as they resist the pressure to buy a house, they can still enjoy the benefits brought by the rise in house prices. So, why do many people keep missing out on buying a house? The reason is simple, on the one hand, the house price has always been very high, and the pressure on people to buy a house is very large, so many people have been hesitant to buy a house. On the other hand, house prices have also fallen briefly several times, and there have always been voices of bearish house prices in the property market. It is the above 2 reasons that make many people miss the opportunity to buy a house again and again.
In recent years, the property market is in a relatively poor economic market, and the housing prices in many cities are in a sideways or gloomy situation. Especially in some third- and fourth-tier cities and the suburbs of some large cities, house prices have fallen significantly, and the price of some real estate promotions is as high as 30%. Falling house prices are a good thing for buyers who just need to buy a house, but it also worries people who are ready to buy a house, because they are worried that house prices will fall again after they buy a house. Therefore, now not only investors no longer invest in real estate, but also many buyers who just need to buy a house have begun to hesitate. So, in today's property market, should people buy a house? Let's take a look at what real estate tycoons such as Wang Jianlin, Li Ka-shing and Wang Shi have to say.
First, Li Ka-shing was not optimistic about the development potential of the real estate industry and began to gradually withdraw from the real estate industry
As we all know, Li Ka-shing has been selling projects for the past few years, in the process of exiting the real estate industry. So why did Li Ka-shing quit the real estate industry? This is because Li Ka-shing is no longer optimistic about the development of the real estate industry. Li Ka-shing believes that the current house prices are seriously high, so high that most people can no longer afford to buy, while housing resources are excessive, so in Li Ka-shing's view, high house prices and property speculation have seriously overdrawn the development potential of the real estate industry.
Li Ka-shing was a successful businessman, and his business principle was "not to earn the last copper plate". That is to say, even if the real estate industry still has development potential, in Li Ka-shing's view, the potential is not large, just like the last copper plate.
Second: Wang Jianlin sold at a discount and returned 200 billion yuan of funds for transformation
In the past few years, many people did not understand Wang Jianlin's loss-making sale, because Wanda Group transferred its own real estate projects at a low price. According to incomplete statistics, Wang Jianlin collected more than 200 billion yuan of funds through the sale of Wanda projects in 2017. At that time, many people thought that Wang Jianlin had lost money, and many housing companies that bought Wang Jianlin's project thought that they had made a lot of money. But looking back now, many housing enterprises that took over Wanda projects at low prices in the past were mired in the quagmire, and Wanda Group has successfully transformed and achieved nirvana rebirth.
Why did Wang Jianlin want to break his arm and transform? This is because Wang Jianlin has seen through the development of the real estate industry. Wang Jianlin once said in an interview that the real estate industry in any country will not flourish for more than 50 years, and our real estate industry has been developing rapidly for more than 30 years. It can be seen that Wang Jianlin's unspoken meaning is that the golden age of real estate has passed, and the development potential of the real estate industry in the future will become smaller and smaller. Of course, although Wang Jianlin is still optimistic about the housing price trend of first- and second-tier hot cities, he is no longer optimistic about the housing price trend of most third- and fourth-tier cities.
Wang Jianlin and Li Ka-shing are both successful businessmen and big names in the real estate industry, with their own unique views on the development of the real estate industry. Now it seems that Li Ka-shing and Wang Jianlin are very far-sighted, and when most of the real estate companies are deeply involved in the quagmire of high debt and tight capital chain, the two of them have stayed out of the matter and are far away from the real estate industry.
But some people think that Wang Jianlin and Li Ka-shing's predictions are wrong, because house prices have doubled again in 2016, and the real estate industry has also experienced a peak season of more than 2 years. In this regard, many people believe that those who listen to the views of Li Ka-shing and Wang Jianlin have missed a good opportunity to buy a house. So, if this is really the case, why did Wang Jianlin and Li Ka-shing really withdraw from the property market? Are they really wrong? Judging from the current difficulties faced by housing enterprises, Wang Jianlin and Li Ka-shing are not wrong, at least they have stayed away from these problems. In the long run, this will take longer to test.
Wang Sicong's "2 sentences" boldly tell the truth
As Wang Jianlin's son, Wang Sicong also has his own unique views on the issue of buying a house. Wang Sicong once expressed his two views in an interview: 1, the current house price is unreasonable, young people should not buy a house, renting is more appropriate; 2, if young people take their parents' money to buy a house, from an economic point of view, this is a stupid behavior.
It can be seen that Wang Sicong also suggested that young people should not buy a house, and it is more appropriate to rent a house temporarily, which is consistent with Wang Shi's point of view. Wang Shi also said that young people should not buy a house too early, which will bind young people to a city and is not conducive to young people starting a business. Young people should work hard or start a business, and then buy a house after the economic conditions are better. In addition, Wang Sicong and Wang Shi are also bullish on house prices, not as bearish on house prices as Wang Jianlin and Li Ka-shing and Ma Yun. For example, Wang Shi used rising commodity prices at the beginning of this year to imply that house prices will rise.
It can be seen that whether house prices rise or fall in the future, there is no need for young people to buy a house in a hurry, and they can rent first to solve the housing problem. For example, the famous private entrepreneur Cao Dewang once suggested to employees: young people should learn to rent, buy a house is not as good as renting, renting a house can live in the east of the city today, live in the west of the city tomorrow, more cost-effective than renting, there is no mortgage pressure.
In this regard, do you think it is better to rent or buy a house in the future?
