China Overseas Chinese Network, July 14th, according to the United States, "World Daily" reported that during the epidemic, it was impossible to see the house, but when the summer vacation came, the school districts in Southern California in the United States still showed a rapid recovery trend, and the sales volume and prices have almost Back to normal levels. Especially in the Chinese area, many Chinese buyers have been planning to buy a house for a long time, and interest rates, which have hit record lows, have also become one of the attractive factors.
In response to the epidemic, new regulations in the US housing industry are soon to take shape. Although it is not possible to hold an open house event, you can make an appointment to see the house and observe the relevant regulations during the house visit, such as keeping the distance throughout the journey and wearing a mask. A group of customers will be disinfected after reading, and then look at the next group, with intervals of tens of minutes in each group.
Mr. Luo, a Chinese-American real estate agent, said that taking San Marino's school district as an example, the previous March and April faded, and the temperature returned to June, and the market began to return to normal. Judging from the transaction volume, the city sold 35 houses from January 1 to May 1, of which 20 were sold in January and February, which is within the normal range. And from May 1st to July 11th, although there were only 7 transactions, this figure represents the sales of housekeeping during the two-month period when the epidemic was serious. On July 11th, it shows that the transaction is pending. There are 10 households, reflecting the market in the past month.
From the perspective of prices, among the houses sold in June, the price is more than 3 million US dollars, and the location is relatively good. The price of 1 square foot (0.093 square meters) is between 800 and 900 US dollars, which is similar to the past. For smaller houses, those under $3 million are still selling fast. He believes that the market is clearly returning to normal.
The real estate industry in Arcadia also did not seem to be affected by the epidemic. There were 66 households traded in January and February, 83 households in March and April, and 61 households traded from May to now. Now there are 54 households that are currently trading. There is a clear recovery trend, and it is expected to return to normal from July to August. . Compared with previous years, the sales volume and prices of the two cities are relatively stable.
Mr. Luo said that the demand for housing in the school district is also very large, and most Chinese people have savings. Large plans such as buying a house are not likely to be affected. Most of the buyers in the school district are now divided into three types of customers. The first type is the local Chinese who change the house, such as moving from Temple City to San Marino City. The second is the second generation of Asian young couples because the children have to study to buy a house; Then there are local buyers.
Mr. Luo said that despite the impact of the epidemic, those who should buy a house still have to buy, those who want to sell a house still have to sell, and children should still study. Earlier, because the epidemic situation in March and April could not see the house, wait until May to see the house, so the number of transactions in June and July has returned to normal.
Mr. Yuan, a real estate agent, also said that the better houses now, as long as it is a school district house, or a suitable middle-priced house, someone will grab it as soon as it is listed. "The virus can't beat young people, and a good house will enter escrow (third-party custody, meaning payment)." (Li Xue)
