去年春季疫情爆发时,CoreLogic曾发布预测称,房价将呈现下跌局势,到2021年4月将仅呈现1%的增幅。现在来看,这一预测不仅有误,而且差之甚远。在疫情导致的经济下行中,购房者利用史上最低利率购入房产,住房市场飙升。过去12个月,美国现房销售价格中值从270400美元上涨了16%,达到313000美元。
接下来,住房价格将走向何处?抵押贷款利率已经连续七周攀升,而与此同时,木材和铜的短缺使部分美国民众买不起建造新房所需的原材料。为了了解住房市场的发展趋势,《财富》杂志与Researchscape International合作,在4月2日至5日期间,对1031名美国成年人进行了调查。
研究结果表明,房地产市场的激烈竞争局面,可能会持续数年。未来五年,年龄在25岁至34岁之间的美国人之中,有54%的人表示有买房计划;在同一年龄人群中,48%的人表示其计划在未来12个月内购房。虽然后者数字有些过高,似乎也难以实现——但它表明,年轻的租房者对于拥有自己的房产这件事,是认真的。
众所周知,千禧一代的人口数量远高于X世代的人口数量。这一人口差距主要由1989年至1993年的5个重要的婴儿潮造成,而我们目前正处于这5年带来的窗口期,这群千禧一代将达到30岁——购房热潮的最主要年龄。如果在这个庞大的群体中,有一半的人在未来五年内完成他们的购房计划,那么其所带来的住房市场繁荣程度将远超当下的水平。
但是,仅凭房地产市场的火爆,并不一定就能够保持目前房屋的升值速度。在过去一年中,美国房价上涨了16%,根据CoreLogic的预测,未来12个月的涨幅仅为3.2%。
CoreLogic首席执行官弗兰克·马泰尔在最近的一份报告中写道:“购房者正在经历的,是大萧条之后竞争最激烈的房地产市场。由于购房能力的问题持续存在,我们或将看到,更多潜在的购房者被高房价驱逐出市场,因此,房价增长速度可能会放缓。”
人们曾担心,2008年的房地产崩盘和紧随其后的止赎危机,会让整整一代人失去房屋所有权。显然,这种说法没有成真。事实上,房屋所有率再次上升,在2015年达到62.9%的最低点后,截至2020年底,这一数字已攀升至65.8%。
美国民众仍然看好自有住房。各年龄段平均有77%的人认为,持有住房是一项积极的投资。如上图所示,在未来几年内将成为推动房地产市场主力军的25岁至34岁的成年人中,也有77%的人表示,房地产是一项积极的投资。(财富中文网)

When the pandemic struck last spring, CoreLogic forecast we'd enter a housing slump with prices rising a measly 1% by April 2021. Not only was that forecast wrong, it wasn't even close. The housing market soared during the COVID-19 recession as buyers took advantage of historically low interest rates. Over the past 12 months, the median sales price of existing homes has climbed 16% from $270,400 to $313,000.
But where do we go next? Already mortgage rates are climbing—rising seven consecutive weeks—while lumber and copper shortages are pricing some Americans out of new home construction. To see where housing is headed, Fortune teamed up with Researchscape International to poll 1,031 U.S. adults between April 2 to 5.* We also took a pulse on how Americans are feeling about homeownership.
Our findings suggest this competitive housing market could last for years. Over the next five years, 54% of Americans between the age of 25 to 34 say they plan to buy a home. Among that same age group, 48% say they plan to do it in the next 12 months. While the latter figure is way too high to come to fruition, it does signal that young renters are serious about getting their own piece of real estate.
It's well known that the millennial generation dwarfs Gen X, however, that demographic gap is largely a result of the five huge birth years between 1989 to 1993. And we're currently in the five-year window when this seismic group of younger millennials will hit the age 30—the all-important age for home-buying booms. If 1 in 2 members of this massive cohort actually go through with their plan to buy a home in the next five years, it'll more than sustain the current boom.
But a hot housing market alone won't guarantee we keep the current rate of home appreciation. Following the 16% price jump over the past year, CoreLogic forecast just a 3.2% over the coming 12 months.
"Homebuyers are experiencing the most competitive housing market we’ve seen since the Great Recession...as affordability challenges persist, we may see more potential homebuyers priced out of the market and a possible slowing of price growth on the horizon," wrote CoreLogic CEO Frank Martell in a recent report.
It was feared that the real estate crash of 2008 and ensuing foreclosure crisis would turn off an entire generation from homeownership. That narrative hasn't panned out. In fact, the rate of homeownership is rising again. After bottoming out in 2015 at 62.9%, the rate of homeownership has climbed to 65.8% as of the end of 2020.
Americans are still bullish on homeownership, with an average across all age groups of 77% saying homeownership is a positive investment. As shown in the chart above, among adults aged 25 to 34—a.k.a. the group that will power the housing market over the next several years—77% also say real estate is a positive investment.
*Methodology: The Fortune-Researchscape International poll was conducted among a national sample of 1,031 adults in the U.S. between April 2 and 5. The findings have been weighted for age, race, sex, education, and geography. The credibility interval is plus or minus 4 percentage points.
