Preface
In the real estate market, every investor enters this battlefield full of uncertainties with their dreams and plans.
However, not all dreams come true. Today, we want to share the story of Shen Jian, a real estate investor who "waited for demolition" in Hangzhou for 14 years, but finally failed to do so.
A 14-year wait
Back in 2010, at the peak of the real estate market, Shen Jian, with his sensitive sense of the market, chose to buy a set of "old and dilapidated small" in Hangzhou.
His goal was clear: to wait for future demolitions. Such properties are often seen as potential gold mines, and once the government's urban renewal plans include these areas, the huge economic gains are almost assured.
However, the wheels of time rolled forward, and from 2010 to 2024, Shen Jian waited for a full 14 years. During this period, he watched the demolition area approach step by step, but it never covered his property. Eventually, the demolition plan came to an abrupt halt next door to him, making all expectations come to naught.
The cold reality of return on investment
Although Hangzhou's "old and dilapidated" market has recently recovered, and housing prices have even soared in some areas, all this seems particularly ironic to Shen Jian. If the property is sold now, he is estimated to only sell it for about 1.4 million yuan, which is hardly profitable compared to the purchase price 14 years ago. To make matters worse, this does not include long-term holding costs, such as loan interest, maintenance fees, etc.
Netizens are hotly discussed
Netizen: It's all demolished next door, can you still be far away?
In the past ten years, I have not made less money by renting
It is difficult for people to get money if they want to send it, and it is empty for people to catch up with money
Risks and lessons learned beyond expectations
Shen Jian's example is a classic lesson for all real estate investors to be respectful and vigilant about the market. His experience tells us that relying on policy events, such as demolitions, for property investment is highly uncertain. Changes in policy, market volatility and other uncontrollable factors can have a significant impact on investment returns.
When making decisions, investors need to conduct a thorough risk assessment and be prepared for possible adverse outcomes. At the same time, diversification and timely adjustment of strategies are also effective ways to protect one's investment.
Looking Forward – Smarter Investment Strategies
For those investors who are still looking for opportunities in the real estate market, Shen Jian's story is a valuable lesson from the past. Before deciding to invest, make sure your decision is based on on-the-ground research, long-term trend analysis, and comprehensive market insights. Remember, the real return on investment comes from smart decisions and patient waiting, not an overnight miracle.
