68%国人不满房价 大叹买屋难

by Jeffery Lam

大马产业价格以迅速的步伐向上攀升，已经是近年来非常普遍的话题。

在当前“贵楼处处”的市况下，“居者有其屋”的美梦似乎愈来愈难圆，也令在后不断追赶的消费者大喊吃不消，而购屋者的负面情绪甚至也开始冲击整体产业市场。

高攀不起 国人叹买屋难

68%不满房价、房价、房价

根据房地产网站PropertyGuru的消费者情绪调查报告显示，截至2013年末季为止共有68%的消费者对大马产业市场环境感到不满，换言之，只有32%的消费者感到满意，整体满意程度较2013年次季时的37%共下跌4个百分点。

针对消费者的不满情绪，PropertyGuru解释称此现象主要归咎于3大因素，即产业价格过高、价格与产业条件不合理、以及产业价格增长步伐迅速，可见消费者的不满还是离不开价格因素。

巴生河流域房价涨幅最高在这当中，全马人口最密集的巴生河流域，顺理成章地成为产业价格涨幅最高的地点。根据PropertyGuru的调查显示，该地区在单单2013年的平均涨幅便高达30%。

在公佈此调查报告的汇报会上，PropertyGuru大马区域经理许毅提醒道，30%的涨幅纯属平均值，部份地点的涨幅甚至超出此水平，加上产业市场在2013年之前已经展开涨势，意味着巴生河流域中部份地点的产业价格在过去4年来甚至已经写下翻倍的增长。
