去年春季疫情爆發時,CoreLogic曾發布預測稱,房價將呈現下跌局勢,到2021年4月將僅呈現1%的增幅。現在來看,這一預測不僅有誤,而且差之甚遠。在疫情導致的經濟下行中,購房者利用史上最低利率購入房產,住房市場飆升。過去12個月,美國現房銷售價格中值從270400美元上漲了16%,達到313000美元。
接下來,住房價格將走向何處?抵押貸款利率已經連續七周攀升,而與此同時,木材和銅的短缺使部分美國民眾買不起建造新房所需的原材料。為了了解住房市場的發展趨勢,《財富》雜志與Researchscape International合作,在4月2日至5日期間,對1031名美國成年人進行了調查。
研究結果表明,房地產市場的激烈競爭局面,可能會持續數年。未來五年,年齡在25歲至34歲之間的美國人之中,有54%的人表示有買房計劃;在同一年齡人群中,48%的人表示其計劃在未來12個月內購房。雖然后者數字有些過高,似乎也難以實現——但它表明,年輕的租房者對于擁有自己的房產這件事,是認真的。
眾所周知,千禧一代的人口數量遠高于X世代的人口數量。這一人口差距主要由1989年至1993年的5個重要的嬰兒潮造成,而我們目前正處于這5年帶來的窗口期,這群千禧一代將達到30歲——購房熱潮的最主要年齡。如果在這個龐大的群體中,有一半的人在未來五年內完成他們的購房計劃,那么其所帶來的住房市場繁榮程度將遠超當下的水平。
但是,僅憑房地產市場的火爆,并不一定就能夠保持目前房屋的升值速度。在過去一年中,美國房價上漲了16%,根據CoreLogic的預測,未來12個月的漲幅僅為3.2%。
CoreLogic首席執行官弗蘭克·馬泰爾在最近的一份報告中寫道:“購房者正在經歷的,是大蕭條之后競爭最激烈的房地產市場。由于購房能力的問題持續存在,我們或將看到,更多潛在的購房者被高房價驅逐出市場,因此,房價增長速度可能會放緩。”
人們曾擔心,2008年的房地產崩盤和緊隨其后的止贖危機,會讓整整一代人失去房屋所有權。顯然,這種說法沒有成真。事實上,房屋所有率再次上升,在2015年達到62.9%的最低點后,截至2020年底,這一數字已攀升至65.8%。
美國民眾仍然看好自有住房。各年齡段平均有77%的人認為,持有住房是一項積極的投資。如上圖所示,在未來幾年內將成為推動房地產市場主力軍的25歲至34歲的成年人中,也有77%的人表示,房地產是一項積極的投資。(財富中文網)

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.
