Yesterday (April 30), the Zhaoqing Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau released a news that shocked the property market: from May 1, 2024, commercial housing within Zhaoqing City will be priced and sold according to the area of the suite. This means that the problem of "shared area", which is a headache for countless home buyers, will become history in Zhaoqing.
The introduction of this policy immediately caused heated discussions on social networks, and netizens said that Zhaoqing really dared to be the first in the world this time, bringing real benefits to home buyers.
So, what does it mean to abolish the pooled area? Let's first popularize the concept of "pooled area." The shared area, simply put, is the common floor area shared by the property owners of the entire building, including the lobby, public foyer, corridor, aisle, elevator vestibule and other parts.
In the past, when buying a commercial house, buyers not only had to pay for the area inside their house, but also paid for these common areas. The calculation of the shared area is often opaque, causing many buyers to feel "trapped".
Zhaoqing's new policy has undoubtedly brought good news to home buyers. The price is based on the area of the suite, which means that the buyer only needs to pay for the area he actually uses, avoiding the additional costs incurred due to the shared area. This is undoubtedly a major benefit for the majority of home buyers.
However, some netizens expressed concern that after the cancellation of the shared area, will the developer make up for the loss by reducing the area of the shared area or increasing the unilateral selling price? This is a question worthy of attention.
However, from another point of view, even if the developer takes these measures, it will at least allow buyers to spend clearly and avoid disputes and dissatisfaction due to the shared area.
In addition, some netizens said that the cancellation of the shared area only solved a superficial problem, and did not touch the fundamental problem of housing prices. Indeed, the level of housing prices does not only depend on the shared area, but also is affected by various factors such as market supply and demand, location, and policies.
However, we cannot deny that the abolition of the shared area at least allows buyers to have a clearer understanding of what they are paying when buying commercial housing, and reduces the uncertainty in the process of buying a house.
I personally appreciate Zhaoqing's initiative to abolish the shared area this time. This not only reflects the government's listening and response to public opinion, but also demonstrates Zhaoqing's innovation and responsibility in property market regulation. Of course, the implementation of the new policy will take time and practice to test, and we look forward to seeing more positive changes and effects.
In addition to appreciating the policy, I would also like to say that as home buyers, we should look at the issue of housing prices more rationally. The level of housing prices is not determined by a single factor, but by a variety of factors.
Therefore, we cannot simply hope that the abolition of the pooled area will solve the housing price problem. Instead, we should consider a variety of factors from multiple perspectives to make a more informed decision about buying a home.
At the same time, as a developer and a homeowner, you should also face up to the changes in the market and the changes in demand. After the abolition of the shared area, the property market pattern will be adjusted to a certain extent, and developers and owners need to flexibly respond to market changes and formulate reasonable sales strategies and price strategies. Only in this way can we be invincible in the fierce market competition.
Finally, I would like to say that the abolition of the shared area is a positive signal, which allows us to see the hope and direction of property market regulation.
At the same time, we also need to maintain a clear mind and a rational attitude, and analyze and solve problems from multiple perspectives. Only in this way can we jointly promote the healthy development of the property market and allow more people to enjoy the happiness and satisfaction brought by buying a house.
Excerpts from hot discussions among netizens:
- "12,000 according to the set, plus 10,000 according to the set, it also costs so much money. Housing prices are still not falling. Netizens' concerns reflect that the housing price problem is not solved overnight, and the cancellation of the public share is only one of many factors.
- "Zhaoqing's policy move is very awesome, and it dares to be the first in the world, which is worthy of praise. Netizens spoke highly of this initiative of the Zhaoqing government, believing that it is an innovation and responsibility.
- "Everyone is used to going up, continue to keep not buying, and send decoration and parking spaces later. ——The ridicule of netizens revealed the expectation of property market regulation and the imagination of the future housing environment.
- "According to the area of the suite, the developer will further reduce the area of the lobby, elevator, elevator hall, fire staircase, and aisle of the shared part, and will also increase the unilateral selling price because of the area of the suite, which does not solve any fundamental problems. The concerns of netizens remind us that after the implementation of the new policy, we still need to pay attention to its actual effects and new problems that may bring.
- "Don't worry about raising the price or not, let's say that selling according to the clear code in the set is a big progress, that is, the government has listened to the public opinion, which is worthy of praise!
- "Knock down the common area promoted by the evil capitalists. Although this sentence of netizens has a certain emotional color, it also reflects the long-standing grievances in the hearts of home buyers on the issue of shared area.
To sum up, Zhaoqing's practice of abolishing the shared area has undoubtedly brought new ideas and directions for the regulation and control of the property market. But at the same time, we also need to keep a rational and clear mind, and look at and solve problems from multiple angles.
Only in this way can we jointly promote the healthy development of the property market and allow more people to enjoy the happiness and satisfaction brought by buying a house.
