美國樓市如今火爆異常,為了買下自己理想中的房屋,每四名潛在購房者中就有一名愿意在預(yù)算之上再多花10萬美元。

不出所料,價格依然是購房者最看重的因素,不過也有超過60%的受訪者表示,如果多花錢就能夠確保自己買下理想的房屋,那么他們愿意加錢。
買家在購置房屋時常需權(quán)衡多種因素,包括位置、空間等,即便在新冠疫情爆發(fā)之前,加錢買房也不少見。不過從現(xiàn)在的情況看來,愿意加錢買房的潛在業(yè)主似乎比以前增加了不少。

The housing market is so tight right now that one out of four prospective homebuyers is willing to go as much as $100,000 over budget if it means living in their dream home.
That’s according to a new study released in January from the home-improvement firm HomeAdvisor that surveyed 2,000 Americans who recently purchased homes in the current housing market.
Unsurprisingly, price was the most important consideration. But more than 60% of respondents also said that they would be willing to go over budget if it meant they could nail down their ideal home.
Homebuyers always had to juggle different priorities, including location, space, and other features, even before the pandemic, and going over budget to get the perfect home was far from unheard-of. But it appears that more prospective owners are willing to go much further over budget than before.
A 2019 study by real estate brokerage service Owners.com found that over a third of potential homeowners were willing to go $20,000 over budget on average when buying their new home. But in 2022’s study of the crowded housing market, 25% of home seekers were willing to pay five times as much. The study also found that more than eight out of 10 buyers felt as if they had been rushed into a decision faster than they were comfortable with.
Although that $100,000 is big, it becomes smaller factored into monthly mortgage payments. For example, if a homebuyer made a down payment of 20% on a home and took out a 30-year mortgage worth $500,000 rather than $400,000, the monthly payments would be around $500 more per month.
The wave of fierce competition currently sweeping the U.S. housing market shows little sign of slowing down in the near future. Real estate’s busiest season usually starts in March, and many homebuyers expect to be left disappointed after another year of dwindling home supply and high prices.
Last year’s housing market saw the lowest number of homes for sale in over 40 years, and inventory is still down heading into this spring.
It is possible, though, that with higher interest rates likely to happen this spring, higher annual payments will give some prospective buyers reason to rethink and pull back from the housing market, bringing demand and prices down.
But still, the largest demographic of new homeowners, millennials, are beginning to consider buying their first homes, as 45 million?of them reach a prime age to do so in 2022.
