您真正需要了解的房价信息
According to recent data from Fannie Mae, almost 1 in 4 people still think home prices are going to come down. If you’re one of the people worried about that, here’s what you need to know.
A lot of that fear is probably coming from what you’re hearing in the media or reading online. But here’s the thing to remember. Negative news sells. That means, you may not be getting the full picture. You may only be getting the clickbait version. As Jay Thompson, a Real Estate Industry Consultant, explains:
“Housing market headlines are everywhere. Many are quite sensational, ending with exclamation points or predicting impending doom for the industry. Clickbait, the sensationalizing of headlines and content, has been an issue since the dawn of the internet, and housing news is not immune to it.”
Here’s a look at the data to set the record straight
过去一年房价大部分时间都在上涨
Case-Shiller releases a report each month on the percent of monthly home price changes. If you look at their data from January 2023 through the latest numbers available, here’s what you’d see:
看了这张图，你会发现什么？这取决于你更喜欢哪种颜色。如果您看绿色，您会发现房价在过去一年的大部分时间里都在上涨。
但是，如果你被红色所吸引，你可能只关注两个轻微的下降。很多媒体报道都是这么做的。由于负面新闻很畅销，因此经常会吸引人们关注这些轻微的下跌。但这样就会忽略大局。
以下是这些数据的真实情况。图中绿色比红色多得多。即使是两条红线，它们也非常微小，几乎是持平的。如果从全年来看，房价总体上还是上涨的。
It’s perfectly normal in the housing market for home price growth to slow down in the winter. That’s because fewer people move during the holidays and at the start of the year, so there’s not as much upward pressure on home prices during that time. That’s why, even the green bars toward the end of the year show smaller price gains.
总体情况是，去年的房价不降反升。
To sum all that up, the source for that data in the graph above, Case Shiller, explains it like this:
“Month-over-month numbers were relatively flat, . . . However, the annual growth was more significant for both indices, rising 7.4 percent and 6.6 percent, respectively.”
If one of the expert organizations tracking home price trends says the very slight dips are nothing to worry about, why be concerned? Even Case-Shiller is drawing your attention to how those were virtually flat and how home prices actually grew over the year.
