-- Redfin周五发布的一项调查显示,由于高企的抵押贷款利率和房价令购房能力受到冲击,大多数美国房主更倾向于升级现有住房,而不是搬迁到新房。 约43%的美国人在过去一年中翻新了房屋,另有33%的人计划在未来12个月内进行翻新。在近期进行翻新的房主中,约有65%的人选择升级而非搬迁。调查还显示,计划在未来一年内翻新房屋的房主中,71%的人表示他们选择翻新而非购买新房。 Redfin表示,这项调查由益普索(Ipsos)于去年11月进行,调查对象为4000名美国居民。 这家在线房地产经纪公司表示:“房主选择留在原地是因为搬家成本高昂。在高抵押贷款利率和高房价的背景下,搬家对许多美国人来说并非易事——尤其是在约80%的抵押贷款房主的利率低于当前水平的情况下。” 据Redfin近期发布的一份报告援引房地美(Freddie Mac)的数据称,截至周四的一周内,30年期固定抵押贷款平均利率从两周前的六个月高点回落至6.3%。该报告还指出,截至周日的四周内,美国房屋销售价格中位数为393,059美元,同比增长2.3%,创一年来最大涨幅。 Redfin表示,市场上缺乏理想的、可拎包入住的房屋,尤其是那些足够宽敞、适合家庭居住的房屋,是人们选择留在原地的另一个原因。 Redfin经济研究主管陈钊表示:“许多美国人选择留在原地,并努力让现有房屋更好地满足他们的需求。这可能意味着改善老旧的空间,为不断增长的家庭扩建房屋,或者重新配置现有空间,使其更适合所有人居住。” 报告显示,在过去一年中翻新房屋的人中,约有 23% 的人在装修上花费了 1 万至 2 万美元。
