Compared with foreign countries, how expensive is the house in China and how difficult is it to buy a house?

3. The holding cost of real estate Many people don't consider the holding cost of real estate, such as property tax, property tax and property maintenance cost. These expenses should be superimposed on the cost of buying a house. Foreign countries have different tax systems. At present, China has not levied property tax and property tax, and the cost of ownership has been greatly reduced. The second proposition: compare the ratio of house price to income. Many people have the following misunderstandings when comparing the ratio of house price to income with foreign house prices. 1. There is a misunderstanding about the source of the house price-income ratio "3 ~ 6" in international practice. According to the relevant information published by the United Nations, the dispersion of the ratio of house price to income in various countries is quite large. The statistical results of 96 countries from 65438 to 0998 show that the ratio of house price to income in these countries ranges from 0.8 to 30, with an average of 8.4 and a median of 6.4. In other words, the ratio of house price to income is only an indicator to measure the difficulty of buying a house. However, some people seem to think that any house price that is not in the "3~6" range is unreasonable and frothy, and should be regulated back to the "3 ~ 6" range. 2. There is a misunderstanding about the definition of housing area. The median should be used to calculate the ratio of house price to income. For example, the per capita housing area in Beijing is 2 1 square meter, and the average household is 2.7 1. Then the median area of the sampled house should be 56.95438+0 square meters. However, it is meaningless for some people to compare a house with a square meter of 100. 3. There are misunderstandings in the price sampling of characteristic houses in China. There are so many combinations of affordable housing, small property rights housing, public rental housing, price-limited housing, affordable housing and commercial housing. They're all houses. They should be included. However, some people just take the most expensive commercial housing as an example to calculate, and the result will definitely be wrong.
