Mariana Aspuru: 作为主持人,我观察到房地产市场仍然不稳定,抵押贷款利率高企,经济前景不明朗,房价也未明显下降,导致春季房市表现令人失望。春季对房地产行业至关重要,其表现往往预示着全年的市场走向。如果春季市场低迷,那么全年房屋销售的复苏将面临巨大挑战。因此,我对今年春季房市的疲软态势感到担忧,并密切关注后续发展。 Nicole Friedman: 作为华尔街日报的记者,我分析了导致春季房市令人失望的几个关键因素。首先,房屋销售量持续低迷,远低于疫情前的水平。买家由于高房价、高抵押贷款利率以及经济不稳定等因素而犹豫不决。尽管房屋库存有所增加,但销量并未随之增长。此外,地区差异显著,东北部和中西部的房价仍在上涨,而南部地区的房价则有所下降。我对2025年春季房市的预测进行了修正,认为全年房屋销售额不太可能达到最初的预期。我强调,抵押贷款利率是影响市场走向的关键因素,而近期国债收益率的上升可能预示着抵押贷款利率将进一步上涨,这将使市场在短期内难以摆脱困境。
