1.4 billion people and 3 million vacant houses
Is it reasonable for China to have a population of 1.4 billion people and only 3 million vacant houses? Recently, Meng Xiaosu, a real estate expert, put forward such a view, which has aroused heated discussions from all walks of life. This article will analyze the rationality of this view and discuss the current situation and future development of the real estate market in mainland China.
Analysis of the rationality of Meng Xiaosu's view
Meng Xiaosu's point is that people mistakenly think that there are many vacant houses, but in fact there are only 3 million units. The reasonableness of this view needs to be analyzed from two aspects. First of all, the actual situation of the real estate market in the mainland. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the total number of housing units in the mainland has exceeded 100 million, while the number of vacant houses is only 3 million, which is indeed a low proportion. Secondly, people's perception of vacant houses. It is generally accepted that there are more vacant houses, but in reality, the proportion of vacant houses is not high.
The current state of the real estate market in mainland China
After years of development, the mainland real estate market has achieved remarkable results. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the total number of housing units in the mainland has exceeded 100 million, basically meeting the housing needs of 1.4 billion people. However, there are also some problems in the real estate market, such as high housing prices in some cities and an imbalance between supply and demand. In addition, the problem of vacant houses has also attracted widespread attention from the society.
Causes of the vacant housing problem
The causes of the vacant housing problem are manifold. On the one hand, some developers overdevelop real estate projects in pursuit of profits, resulting in some houses being difficult to sell. On the other hand, some home buyers buy multiple homes for investment or rental, resulting in an increase in the number of vacant homes. In addition, with the advancement of urbanization, population movement has also become an important cause of the problem of vacant housing.
