Chapter 144 Crazy Housing Market
Before we knew it, it was the New Year.
As soon as the heating stopped, Zhao Xinyue pulled Li Feng and started moving.
A broken home is worth a fortune. After a trip east and west, it was April before I knew it.
That day, the two of them moved everything out and cleaned the house thoroughly, and it was already noon.
"Where should we go for lunch?" Li Feng checked the house again to make sure nothing was left behind.
Zhao Xinyue looked at the small house they had lived in for several years, feeling reluctant to leave. She couldn't help but recall the little moments of their past acquaintance, and said, "Let's go to Lao Hu Malatang for lunch."
"Hey, has Lao Hu opened a new business? Isn't he a professional stock trader?"
"It's been reopened for more than a year. I heard that Lao Hu lost a lot of money in stock trading and had a fight with his wife. She forced him to cancel his shareholder account and confiscated his smartphone." Zhao Xinyue locked the door and gossiped as she walked out.
Li Feng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry:
"The boss lady has a solution. If these investors want to quit, they have to be ruthless. Old Hu is too greedy. With such a good skill, if he can slowly run it, he can make a living for the rest of his life. It's much safer than speculating in the stock market."
"If I had his cooking skills, I wouldn't have to worry about stock trading."
"What are you worried about?" Zhao Xinyue rolled her eyes. "I see you're so carefree all day long, you don't worry at all. You just read the news, read about policies, check the market, buy stocks, and hold them for months, even years. What kind of effort do you have?"
"Alas, Xinyue, you only see the thief eating meat, but you don't see the thief being beaten." Li Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Do you think I'm carefree every day? In fact, every day I face various uncertainties and price them. I am always worried. Even if I don't trade frequently, as long as I stay in this market, I can't get rid of these things. I am only better than short-term traders."
"Really?" Zhao Xinyue took Li Feng's hand and couldn't help but persuade him, "How about we stop speculating? Now we have a car and a house, and we have several million in savings, which is more than enough for us to spend."
"Wait a little longer—" Li Feng shook his head.
Nowadays, everything costs money. Even if you have a car, a house and savings, if something goes wrong, this money is far from enough.
Not to mention, I don't have a job, so if I don't invest in stocks, I will just live off my savings. Inflation is so severe now that even if I have mountains of gold and silver at home, it won't be enough to eat.
The safety pad is still not thick enough.
While chatting and laughing, the two went into Lao Hu Malatang.
"Oh, what a rare guest, what a rare guest, um... Brother Li, Nurse Zhao, please come in, please come in..." When Old Hu saw the two of them, his signature smile appeared on his face.
"Old Hu, long time no see..." Li Feng greeted.
"Hey, hello, long time no see. What are we eating today..." Hu Jianmin responded somewhat awkwardly, but he was thinking of the fact that Li Feng had advised him not to trade stocks before.
"Well, tomato sliced noodles and spicy potato noodles, one serving each." Zhao Xinyue ordered the meal.
"Okay." Hu Jianmin responded loudly and was about to go back to the kitchen, but then he remembered what happened before and turned back carefully.
He first glanced at the boss lady and saw that she was really busy in the kitchen and had no time to be distracted, so he whispered: "Brother Li, please don't tell me that you once advised me not to trade stocks..."
"I know—" Seeing Hu Jianmin's frightened expression, Zhao Xinyue immediately covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Seeing you are so scared..."
"Hey—how would you know?" Hu Jianmin sighed quietly, "I almost had my house torn down because of this. Luckily, I invested in a house, so I was able to save some face.
Having said this, the expression on his face instantly became lively. He didn't leave, but stood there, waiting for the two to come and ask.
Zhao Xinyue knew he was about to show off again, so she said, "Boss Hu, I heard that the price of the Tianshui Garden house you invested in has increased again?"
When Old Hu heard this, he immediately reached out his hand, slammed the table hard, and shouted towards the kitchen:
"Of course you did. Don't you know? The higher-ups just announced a major policy: we, Guo Jia, are going to build the Xiong'an New Area. That's a long-term plan. I bought that house for 12,000 yuan, and now it's skyrocketed to 18,000 yuan. I've made a profit of 500,000 yuan! I don't know how many real estate agents have called me asking about it, but I won't sell it!"
"Alas, you don't know, when I bought the house, your sister-in-law was not willing to..."
Hu Jianmin was showing off.
In the kitchen, his wife was busy as hell. When she heard him acting arrogantly and sarcastically, she yelled, "Hu Jianmin, get out of here! Don't you know I'm busy?"
"Hey, ok..."
When Old Hu heard the sound, he shuddered all over, then he went back to the kitchen with a smile on his face.
"House prices have risen so much?" Li Feng asked Zhao Xinyue.
I have the impression that as soon as the Xiongan New Area was announced, the concept was hyped up in the stock market for a few days, but I didn’t expect that this hype would spread to the real estate market.
"That's right," Zhao Xinyue said, looking a little unhappy. "Our city is only a few dozen miles away from the Xiong'an New Area, but it's the authentic Xiong'an Circle. The house we sold has increased by several thousand yuan per square meter."
"Now, I heard that all the real estate sales offices have closed down, and next month, they will collectively raise prices!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Li Feng was speechless. The housing prices had risen too much. It was only a few thousand two years ago, but it had risen to ten thousand this year. This was even more dramatic than the stock market.
With the current housing prices, if you want to buy a house, you need a down payment of at least 300,000 or 400,000 yuan. This is not just a matter of emptying six wallets, but you have to advance the savings of the rest of your life.
Just after talking about the house, Zhao Xinyue received a call from the real estate agent, asking if the previous house had been sold.
Zhao Xinyue had just hung up when Fang Xiaoyu called Li Feng again, but she asked him whether he wanted to sell the 140-square-meter house he had purchased.
After Li Feng declined, potato noodles and knife-cut noodles were served. After the two finished their lunch, they drove home.
Along the way, I found that all the sales offices on the roadside were closed.
Zhao Xinyue continued, "Sister Su, do you know? I originally wanted to buy a two-bedroom apartment for my son, but the housing prices have risen so much that I can't afford it anymore, so I had to buy a house with limited property rights. And Xiao Wang from our department also wanted to buy an apartment for his daughter, so he had no choice but to buy a house in the suburbs."
Li Feng sighed and posted a message on his WeChat Moments after returning home: "The housing market is really crazy!"
Xiao Huang, who was in Jingu Building, saw this post on WeChat Moments and left a message: "Brother Feng, I heard the price of Haiwan Yiyuan across the street has increased to 20,000!"
He sighed as he sent it.
I feel like the past two years have been unreal. If I hadn't bought a house, I'm afraid I would never be able to buy one in my life.
Next to him, Ning Weiguang's face suddenly turned pale and his heart ached after hearing this.
He silently turned on his computer and checked the latest housing market conditions, feeling even more depressed.
Two years ago, I returned a house that cost 7,500 yuan per square meter because I didn’t want it. Now it’s 20,000 yuan per square meter!
The price of my original 100-square-meter house has increased by 12,500 yuan per square meter!
That’s a full 1.25 million yuan?
Over 1 million yuan! I never imagined this figure even in my wildest dreams.
With the little money I got from checking out of the house, I can’t even afford to buy two rooms, let alone three.
Even if you choose an old and small house, it will cost 17,000 yuan per square meter. A two-bedroom house of 70 square meters with a down payment of 50% will cost nearly 600,000 yuan!
How about a room?
A 50-square-meter studio apartment with a 50% down payment would cost 425,000 yuan!
Still not enough!
what to do?
I regret that I could afford a three-bedroom house, but now I can't even afford a one-bedroom house.
He looked at his right hand and wished he could chop it off.
No, you must buy a second house. If you don’t buy it now, the housing prices will go up and you will not be able to afford it in the future.
Now you either have to borrow money or make a smaller down payment.
By the way, someone just placed an advertisement in the rights protection group.
Thinking of this, he opened the rights protection group and saw an advertisement: "Housing tickets in this city, certificate issued within five days, completed within ten days, quality guaranteed, interested parties please contact me privately."
He hesitated for a moment and asked privately, "Dongfeng, is what you said reliable?"
