【World Property Journal】U.S. Mortgage Rates Significantly Decline in Early August

According to Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate in the U.S. averaged 3.60 percent in the first week of August 2019, the lowest it has been since November 2016.

Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's chief economist, says, "There is a tug of war in the financial markets between weaker business sentiment and consumer sentiment. Business sentiment is declining on negative trade and manufacturing headlines, but consumer sentiment remains buoyed by a strong labor market and low rates that will continue to drive home sales into the fall."

【CRIC】專題|從中國房地產需求結構轉變看成交回升或下跌行情之必然性和持續性

受城市人口增量、市場購買力等多方面因素影響,各城市越來越體現出不同的市場週期,市場行情也相對獨立。為了更好地分析典型城市成交結構變化所隱含的核心動因,並通過置業客群結構性變化,進而預判典型城市市場週期的延續性,更好地預判各城市市場前景,我們以2019年上半年商品住宅累計成交量同比漲跌變化為界,將二、三線城市直接劃分成交面積同比上升、成交面積同比下降的兩大類城市。 

通過對成交上升和成交下降城市購房需求結構變化的分析,我們發現:一、無論是上升還是下降,這些城市購房總價中樞都在上移,意味著購房門檻也越來越高;二、對居住空間功能性的要求一致提升,表現為三房和四房比重同步上升;由此一來,導致在上升和下降城市的面積戶型結構方面出現顯著的兩極分化,上升的為小型化,下降的為大型化。

【易居研究院】2019年7月中國40城住宅成交報告

報告摘要:

  1、7月份,40個典型城市新建商品住宅成交面積環比下降8%,同比增長7%。

  2、7月份,4個一線城市成交面積環比下降10%,同比增長15%;18個二線城市成交面積環比下降5%,同比增長12%;18個三四線城市成交面積環比下降12%,同比下降4%。

  3、2019年1-7月,40城成交面積累計同比微增1%。其中一線城市累計同比增長35%,二線城市累計同比微增2%;三四線城市累計同比下降7%。

  4、7.30政治局會議首次明確提出“不將房地產作為短期刺激經濟的手段”,體現了中央控制房價上漲、確保房地產平穩健康發展的決心,預計下半年各地調控政策鬆綁的可能性微乎其微。同時,央行會議要求保持個人住房貸款合理適度增長,嚴禁消費貸款違規用於購房。預計2019年下半年40城成交將繼續下滑,尤其是2018年成交火熱的未調控或弱調控的三四線城市,將面臨較大的下降風險。

【Freddie Mac】Housing Market Sees Increased Momentum Due to Low Mortgage Rates

During the last week of May, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dipped below 4.0% and has remained there amid concerns over trade disputes, a possible economic slowdown, and market anticipation of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut. This decline in mortgage rates has caused a spike in purchase and refinance mortgage applications. Moreover, we expect that low mortgage rates, along with a thriving labor market, will help sustain the housing market for at least the next year and a half.
