I have a friend who bought a house in the Beijing area a few years ago when housing prices were at their peak. Now it's worth half. At that time, he was very determined, saying that if he didn't buy now, he wouldn't be able to get on the train, even if it was a bit far, it still counted as part of the Beijing circle. He emptied his savings + his parents' + his in-laws', and on the day he signed the contract, he even posted on social media: Finally have a root. Later, he felt that the market was off, and his first reaction was to sell. He listed it with an agent and lowered the price. A year went by, and not only did no one come to see the house, but he didn't even get a single inquiry call. The agent was quite diligent, coming around every now and then to say: Bro, how about lowering the price a bit more? What he fears the most now is not the drop in price. It's the monthly text message: Loan payment successful. Who would have thought that housing prices could drop this much? In the end, he can only smile bitterly and say: This is life.
