Where do Americans like to buy houses after immigrating to the United States?

China people like to own their own houses, but Americans like to move. According to statistics, about 65,438+07% people move in the United States every year, of which 60% move in the same place and the rest move out of the city. So why do Americans like to move?

Americans are a mobile people. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that the ancestors of Americans moved from foreign countries. At least, they don't have deep-rooted homesickness like China people.

As for the reasons why Americans move, there are various reasons. Some people change jobs, some want to improve their living conditions, some want to save money, some want to take care of their loved ones, and so on. But the main reason is to change jobs. At first, immigrants from Europe came to the United States and settled on the Atlantic coast in the northeast of the United States. Later, with the increase of population, the need for new resources and the enhancement of economic strength, population and funds gradually invested in the west. As a result, the population center of gravity in the United States has been moving westward at a speed of 4- 10 km per year for about 200 years, and this speed of moving westward reached its peak again in the early 1980s. This is in contrast to the continuous transfer of population, capital and technical strength to the eastern coast of China. In addition to the changes in the geographical distribution of employment, ups and downs in all walks of life also make people jump ship. The service industry (including transportation, public utilities, commerce, government departments, finance and insurance) has expanded rapidly, while the manufacturing industry (light and heavy industries) has shrunk relatively. The former has increased by 32 million people in the past 20 years, accounting for 60% of the number 20 years ago, while the latter has only increased by about 6.5438+0 million people, accounting for only 5%. Only when employment changes can the economic structure change. Whether it is because of the emergence of new technologies (such as computers), the exhaustion of old resources (such as American oil) or the competition in the international market, such as the change of American cars from export to import, it means the change of people's employment. The flexibility of choosing a job makes the American economy adaptable, which is often accompanied by the migration of residence. There are 1700 kinds of daily newspapers in the United States, most of which are local newspapers. One of the main contents of advertisements in these newspapers is recruitment and housing. And these two kinds of advertisements are interrelated.

Where the economy is prosperous, there are more advertisements for recruitment and more people moving in from other places, so the demand for housing is more active. The southern part of the United States has developed rapidly this year, and the increase in employment has brought a large number of local immigrants to the United States. For example, in Atlanta, 654.38 million American residents immigrate to Atlanta, Georgia every year. In recent years, the Northeast has experienced a more serious economic recession than the whole country, and the real estate price has plummeted, which has caused huge losses to businessmen who have bought real estate.

There are no migration restrictions and no hukou system in the United States. You don't need anyone's approval, or even call the police. Moving is also very convenient. There are specialized moving companies, some are responsible for moving in this city, and some are engaged in moving in different places. When moving, almost 100% people use cars as means of transportation, while others can use special moving cars. However, furniture is generally not moved, and most of them are sold on the spot. After moving, buy according to the size, color and style of the room.

The convenience of moving is mainly due to the housing market. For China people, the word "housing market" has become strange, just as Americans don't understand our "housing fair". After 1949, China quickly restricted or even cancelled the private rental business. There is almost only one way to get housing: unit allocation. There are two basic differences between the housing fair and the housing market. First of all, find someone to change rooms. The "housechanging conference" is more convenient than before, but it is still difficult. It is possible to find the possibility of triangular or multilateral room exchange through the room exchange coordinator or even through the computer. However, it is too difficult for all parties to make the comprehensive conditions such as location, area, equipment, orientation, floor and environment of the house just right. The housing market can use different rents to compensate for the differences in conditions, so all parties can have a wider choice. Second, in the housing market, supply and demand will always be balanced by the rise and fall of the rent level. In other words, in America, you can only feel that the rent is expensive. It is not impossible to rent a house, so even if there is no house to exchange with others, you can still rent a house. China started housing reform from 1988 and introduced market mechanism. But it began to wrinkle. The main method of housing reform is to increase rent, but the proportion of rent in the total expenditure of urban residents has dropped from 1.0% to 0.7%. Of course, it is controversial whether housing is allocated completely through the market like the United States. Theory and experience have proved that market allocation can avoid waste, but the housing problem of the poor is more difficult to solve.

Because it always takes more than one year to build a new house (including supporting facilities), it can't keep up with the change of population flow and the change of supply can't keep up with the change of demand, so the rent fluctuates greatly, and the real estate industry has become a big business that can make money by speculation. But don't think that this kind of speculation is harmful to society, and don't think that real estate developers can make money easily. Its contribution to society is to adjust the demand for real estate in space and time; In addition, real estate developers will invest in greening, roads and environment to improve land utilization. If it is easy to make money, everyone will run real estate, but this is not the case. When real estate developers estimate that the local economy will prosper, they buy in advance, which makes the price rise and stimulates the construction of new houses. But if the estimate is wrong, it will be a loss.

Housing expenditure accounts for about 1/4 of the total American expenditure, although this is only an average. Rent a single room with kitchen and bathroom in the center of new york, the monthly rent is about $65,438+0,000, but rent a mid-range house with two bedrooms and one living room in a small city for only $300. The rent is determined through consultation between the ancestral home and the landlord. If negotiation fails, both parties can find another job until they are satisfied.

If you buy a house, will you tie a person to death? No. He can sell his house when he wants to move. If this is an installment payment and the account has not been paid off, he can sell the house together with the debt relationship. But the selling price will be somewhat different from the original house price. If the local real estate price rises, he can still profit from it, otherwise he will lose money. Here we can see that in a commercially developed society, not only commodities can be bought and sold, but also debt relations can be bought and sold. In fact, this is an aspect of the capital market. Flexible market arrangements provide individuals with a wide range of choices and create a flexible and dynamic economy. To develop economy, make rational use of resources and eliminate all kinds of possible waste, individuals need to make the best choice among various choices.

It can be seen from the actions of Americans that the market provides such an opportunity.
