In the past two years, more and more people like to buy "old and small". To this end, we asked Lao Zhou, who has been in the real estate agency industry for more than 10 years. As for this problem, Lao Zhou still had reservations at the beginning, but said that since last year, there have been frequent unfinished buildings in new houses in China, which has caused heavy losses to families who buy new houses. And if you choose to buy an "old and dilapidated" house, you don't have to worry about the situation of the house being unfinished.
Later, in the process of chatting, Lao Zhou accidentally leaked his mouth. In his opinion, many people like to buy "old and small" for the following five reasons: 1. The cost performance of old houses is higher; 2. Good geographical location and complete supporting facilities; 3. The shared area is small and the property cost is low; 4. After the "old reform", the house is more popular; 5. Speculators gamble on demolition. Let's find out:
First, the cost performance of "old and small" is higher
In the downtown area, the price of the "old and dilapidated" is much lower than the price of the newly built commercial housing in the surrounding area. Taking Shanghai's Jing'an District as an example, many new commercial housing communities now cost at least 100,000 yuan per square meter, while the housing prices of the nearby "old and dilapidated small" ones are only 5-60,000 yuan per square meter. Therefore, for families who just need it, although the appearance of the old house is a little dilapidated, the community environment is not as good as the nearby high-end community. But as long as you decorate the house well, it's quite comfortable to live in.
Second, the geographical location is good and the supporting facilities are complete
Usually the "old and small" are in the downtown area, such as hospitals, supermarkets, transportation, schools and other surrounding supporting facilities, and the surrounding subway, bus and other transportation is also very convenient, which for buyers, they will feel that life is very convenient. If you buy a house in the suburbs, although the age of the house is relatively new and the house price is low, there is a lack of supporting facilities around, and the living experience is not as good as the "old and dilapidated" houses in the city center.
Third, the shared area is small and the property cost is low
The shared area of the "old and dilapidated" houses is relatively small, generally at 10-15%, which is quite cost-effective. The shared area of the newly built high-rise houses in the surrounding area is larger, usually 25-30%. Obviously, the "old and dilapidated" houses bear less shared area, which is the main reason why they are favored by home buyers. In addition, the property cost of the "old and dilapidated" is relatively low, usually only a few dozen yuan a month, and if it is a new commercial house, the property fee is at least 5-600 yuan per month. As a result, the owner pays significantly less for the property.
Fourth, after the "old reform", the house is more popular
Since 2020, the mainland has launched the "old reform" policy. The so-called old renovation is to repair and transform the old community without demolishing and rebuilding. This included painting interior and exterior walls, replacing old pipes, fixing staircase aisles, and installing elevators. In addition, there is also an increase in green area, parking spaces, etc., so that the old and dilapidated houses are more popular. In the future, if the owner wants to rent or sell the "old and small", it will be relatively easy.
Fifth, speculators gamble on demolition
Among the people who buy "old and dilapidated" houses now, there are also speculators. The reason why speculators want to buy "old and small" is that they are betting on the demolition of "old and small" houses. Taking Shanghai as an example, a set of 40 square meters of old and dilapidated houses, the price of speculation is only 2.3 million. If in a few years, the "old and dilapidated" house will be demolished, then the compensation for the demolition of this "old and dilapidated" house will be as high as more than 6 million.
Therefore, some people are gambling on investing in "old and dilapidated" houses, and in the future, the old houses will be demolished and relocated to achieve quick rich. However, it is also risky to bet on the "old and small" demolition, in case there is no demolition, then you can only become a "pick-up man". Therefore, speculators should think twice before investing in the "old and small".
