Entering 2024, the news about the recovery of the second-hand housing market on the Internet is getting higher and higher, about this, speak with the data in March this year:
Beijing: 14,280 sets of second-hand houses were signed online, an increase of 125.5% month-on-month; 20,221 units in Shanghai, up 169.5% month-on-month, 5,196 units in Shenzhen, up 116.6% month-on-month, and 9,373 units in Guangzhou, up 92.66% month-on-month......
In addition, from January to March 2024, the total sales of the top 100 real estate enterprises will be 897.83 billion yuan, and the monthly sales in March will increase by 117.3% month-on-month.
At first glance, the market has begun to reverse and is about to go up the course. On the Internet, in the circle of friends, the intermediaries are very busy, the market is picking up, and if you don't "get on the bus", you can't buy it...
However, another set of data has also poured cold water on some hot-headed people. In March this year, the top 100 domestic real estate companies only achieved a sales amount of 358.32 billion yuan, down 45.8% from the sales of 661.4 billion yuan in March last year, nearly halved!
Not only that, judging from the cumulative performance in the first three months of this year, the sales volume of the top 100 real estate companies was only 779.24 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 47.5%.
It can be seen that although the market activity has increased, it is still significantly weaker than the same period last year, and the second-hand market is still characterized by "price for volume".
The reason why buyers are more inclined to buy second-hand houses is that on the one hand, they are worried about the quality and delivery of new houses, and they are afraid that they will lose their money and houses; on the other hand, compared with new houses, the current second-hand housing market is easier to "pick up leaks", and the price is even cheaper than new houses.
However, in the second-hand market, there are multiple factors to consider, one of which is the age of the house. Although the price of second-hand houses with a certain age is relatively cheap, with the growth of the house age, its structural stability, the degree of modernization of facilities and the comfort of living may decline to varying degrees.
In addition, old homes may also hide various potential safety hazards, such as aging electrical wiring and pipes, which not only affect the daily living experience, but may also bring additional maintenance costs.
So, for buyers, this year choose to "pick up leaks" in the second-hand housing market, how long is it more appropriate to choose? A friend who works in a shell gives advice: more than 20 years old houses do not start, the main reasons are as follows, today Xiaobian and share with you, I hope to bring a little help to everyone when buying second-hand houses.
.01
Property is poor
The quality of property services is related to the living experience of residents, and often the better the quality of property services, the higher the living comfort of residents. Especially for those houses that are more than twenty or thirty years old, the lack or inadequacy of property services is often one of the main problems that residents complain about.
Old houses often have various problems due to the lack of effective maintenance for a long time, such as lack of greenery, poor sanitary conditions, damage to public facilities, random parking, etc., which will directly affect the quality of daily life of residents.
In addition, due to the lack of effective safety management, old communities are prone to various safety problems, such as fire safety, theft security, etc., which are particularly worrying for families with elderly people and children.
And nowadays, there are many old community security rooms that are elderly, such as security guards and security aunts. Their so-called duty is limited to sitting in the security room and playing with mobile phones, which is really not very important for security precautions.
Therefore, if you are considering buying an old house, especially an old house with a certain number of years, it is recommended to have an in-depth understanding of the property services in the community. After all, the quality of property services is not only related to the convenience and comfort of daily life, but also to the safety of future residence.
If the property management is good, even if the house in the community is a little old, it can at least provide a relatively comfortable and safe living environment for the residents.
.02
The physical condition of the house is poor
Over time, the durability and safety of older homes have become the main focus of buyers.
For example, the structure of the old house, including the aging of building materials, wall cracking, foundation settlement, steel corrosion, etc., these problems not only need to spend a lot of maintenance costs, but may even pose a threat to the safety of the building, such as in the face of natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes, the disaster resistance of the old house is even more worrying.
Moreover, the infrastructure of the old house, including water circuits and pipes, etc., the longer the time, the more serious the deterioration, and the equipment and facilities in the past do not meet modern safety standards. In the face of water leakage, short circuit and other problems, it will not only bring inconvenience to residents' lives, but also bring safety risks.
In addition, if you replace and upgrade these aging equipment and facilities, it is not only expensive, but also the construction process is more complicated, so buying such a house is not only uncomfortable to live in, but also brings additional burden.
.03
The living comfort is average
It is also difficult for old houses to meet the living requirements of modern people in terms of living comfort and functionality. For example, there are insufficient sound insulation, poor lighting, and unreasonable room layout in old houses, which will seriously affect the living experience of residents.
Especially for those who are looking for a comfortable and modern living environment, these issues have become an important factor for them to consider when choosing a home.
Therefore, for old houses that are more than 20 years old, although the price of this kind of house is more favorable than that of modern commercial housing, it is necessary to weigh many aspects before making a purchase decision, not only considering the conditions of the house itself, but also taking into account the overall living environment and community atmosphere of the community.
In short, it is necessary to rationally consider the condition of the house, the community environment and the future maintenance cost, pay more attention to the actual residential value of the property, and do not start blindly because of the low price. This is the only way to ensure that the property you are buying is not only within your budget, but also provides a safe and comfortable living experience.
