理论上来说房产作为一种商品,它的价格从长期来说应该与通膨保持一致。但是事实在过去的20年里上房产的价格增长要高过CPI(请看附件1.pdf)。现在我们不断地听到房屋购买能力下降,中位房价和中位收入的比率越来越高。到底是为什么呢?
我总结出以下一些观点:
1。房子面积和功能的不断增加。老房子小所以造价也便宜。新的房子包括了以前没有的设计理念和新的技术,造价相对高。
2。随着靠近城市的土地越来越少,土地价格也越来越贵。(看附件2.pdf)
3。越来越多的家庭从单收入转为双收入。家庭购买能力上升。
4。澳洲有房阶层一般7年换一次房子。从第一栋房到第二栋房升级的时候,第一栋房子升值了于是第二栋房子的价格相对来说并不是那么高了。
5。租房的人可能一辈子也不会买房子。只要房价不超过有房阶层的人的购买能力就不是问题。
6。贫富差距拉大。有钱的人越来越有钱可以买众多的投资房,穷人一辈子只能租房住。
7。政府的税务政策(负扣税)压低了房租,但是加速了房价相对房租的增长速度。
8。移民增加。新移民用几代人的积蓄+收入供房。
9。房子被不断的扩建、翻新,资本投入增加造成现有房产的价格上升。
10。人口增加,并且家庭单位变小。房源供不应求。住房属于非弹性需求,价格上升属于必然。
..
突然想到上次看一个新闻,作为补充的一点:那就是过去的20年间,澳洲人的生活水平有了很大的提高,对于住房的要求也水涨船高,要求住的房子越来越大,房间数量越来越多,实际上许多房间都空置着,这样从总量上也造成对房子需求的增加。
澳洲人购房求“宽敞” 住宅卧室空置率上升
8月17日澳洲统计局的最新数据显示,成千上万澳洲人为购买超大住宅而背负沉重的房贷,其实他们根本不需要这么大的空间。澳洲统计局发现,现有住宅的平均卧室数量高于10年前。而平均家庭规模却减小了,没有子女的夫妻数量增加,单身人士也开始购买或租房子住。1994年至2004年期间,平均每户人口从2.7降至2.5人,但卧室数量从2.9 升至3个。
澳洲有很多卧室空着没人住,根据2003-2004年的数据,77%住户有一间以上空置卧室,而现在至少有85%住户有一间以上卧室没人住。这些数据显示很多澳洲人为空间超过所需的住宅支付房租或背房贷。
房产开发商游说组织“澳洲城市发展学院”(Urban Development Institute of Australia)的新州总裁Scott Woodcock表示,由于房屋空置率降低,导致住宅需求量增加并加剧了住房购买力危机。
Nation's empty bedrooms a telling tale of our lives
Date: August 17, 2007 Sydney Morning Herald
In the middle of a growing housing shortage comes ironic news: Australia is awash with spare bedrooms.
Figures from the Bureau of Statistics reveal that in 2003-04, 77 per cent of households had one or more spare bedrooms and 97 per cent of couple-only households had one or more unoccupied. At least 85 per cent of solo dwellers also had spare bedrooms.
Between 1994 and 2004 the average number of people per household dropped from 2.7 to 2.5, but the average number of bedrooms rose from 2.9 to 3.
The figures, published on the eve of today's expected interest rate rise, suggest many Australians are paying off loans on homes that are far too big for them.
Scott Woodcock, the NSW director of the Urban Development Institute of Australia, said all the unused rooms were driving up demand for housing, compounding the home affordability crisis.
"You have more divorcees, who need two houses, and a lot of singles who don't want a big family house," he said. "Then there's baby-boomer families which did have four or five people in the house but now the kids have left home."
Patrick Fensham, who co-authored the State Government's 25-year Metropolitan Strategy, said it would take a brave politician to encourage first-home buyers to scale back their expectations and get empty nesters to downsize. "You can, of course, get into more punitive rating systems," he said. "For example, you might start trying to raise the rates on properties you would like to see redeveloped so it becomes less affordable for someone to live there alone."
Leigh Hamlin, a retired butcher, needs no such incentive. His wife has died and his children moved out, so he is selling his huge three-bedroom Stanmore home and moving to the Central Coast. "I think if you are by yourself in a big house, it can be very lonely. Not only that, I am 63 and basically all the money is tied up in the house in Stanmore. I could put half the sale money into super and that's my security and income for the rest of my life."
The figures also show a surge in the mean equity of owner-occupied homes from $177,000 in 1994-95 to $297,000 in 2003-04. This suggested an emerging divide between the asset-rich and the asset-poor, said Bill Randolph, of the University of NSW's City Futures Research Centre. "So if your mum and dad happen to have bought a modest place in the North Shore 40 years ago, that may mean you have much more wealth than someone in a similar position whose parents bought a house in Parramatta," Professor Randolph said.
"And the large proportion that will never own - who will pick up the tab for their aged health care in 20 years time?" |
