How come Xi bail out CCP builder buddies by telling people to buy second and third house then destroy value of house and leave Chinese with high mortgage? Mortgage on unbuilt house and apartment?

Why Chinese people get gouged and CCP get rich?

Holy fuck, communists are allowed to own homes and *checks notes* expect a profit on the value.

>>538669736
You don't understand how fucked they are because of this. Yes they have cheap houses but it's a result of massive price crash in the only thing that was the reliable way to build wealth for average Chinese.

Stock and bond market in China is junk tier because theres no real transparency in their businesses and ratings agencies are politicized so investment risk can't accurately be assessed.

In China you cannot send money outside of the country to invest without written permission from the government. What this means in practice is that most people are forced to keep their money in a bank and earn basically zero interest because they have no alternative.

This is what is called financial repression, where the government forces you to accept a rate of return on your cash that is well below the market rate while the government itself reaps those rewards.

This is actually a core reason that the central government is wealthy in China is that they have engineered a system where the government forces the population, state-owned enterprises, and private businesses to park most of their money in state banks and pay them nothing in return while the government earns interest on it.

Real estate was the only thing that let average people in China earn compounding gains and now they're just putting money in state run bank accounts and getting zero real rate of return.

Question for all anons itt: if you purchased a property for 350,000 dollars and the value went down to 300,000 dollars, would you feel angry?

Some Polish anon made the point that only investors care about property value, because homeowners who live in their homes aren’t gonna sell it anyway so theoretically the “value” of the home doesn’t matter.

On one hand I see the logic. On the other hand, if I bought a home and it went down a lot in value I’d naturally feel a bit angry because I’d feel like I worked harder and spent more for the same thing the other guy got for less.

On the other, if I was planing to live there for a lifetime I suppose it wouldn’t really matter too much. And if for some reason I’d have to move, I suppose other property values going down would just make up for it.

In the end, it’s an interesting question to contemplate. A lot of the anti-China shills assume Chinese are “losing value” because of this, but practically speaking if they bought their home to live in, it doesn’t really matter.

I don't know if that'll work out for the better, but right now there's soooo many Chinese people who are having to sell their homes for less than half of what they bought them for. It's really sad. They lost so much money and they'll never get it back.

Most people don't live in the same home for their entire life anymore. I mean, I'd prefer to just put down roots, but I'm a weirdo. Recently I've heard so many people casually mention moving house like, every one to four years. To me, that's crazy and a big waste of time and money, but apparently it's really common these days. Nobody wants to stay near family, there is no community, the economy is so shit that people feel like they must continually follow the money and go wherever they can find jobs. That means that buying a house and staying put for decades or even your entire life is a real challenge and a tall order for the modern person.

Chinese culture is night and day compared to Amercian. Every Chinese parent is expected to buy their son a home when he gets married. So having housing a bit cheaper is necessary for their entire social fabric. It’s not like the USA where half the population under 50 is living in their childhood bedroom or rooming it up with 4 other dudes. And Amercia used to be known as that place where you are kicked out at 18, we’ve gone far from that stereotype.

It’s hilarious how many CIA/Mi6 “Chinese experts” who are really a bunch of foids and normgroids churned out by are broken college system that can’t select a competent intelligent White man to save its life, desperately trying to understand something without even basic knowledge of what they are looking at. Foids and normies shouldn’t be intelligence agents. They lack any cross-cultural understanding by definition and are more worried about getting laid and getting paid than “the mission” (whatever malignant cancer that mission is anyway, and knowing CIA/mi6 it’s something rotten).

>Question for all anons itt: if you purchased a property for 350,000 dollars and the value went down to 300,000 dollars, would you feel angry?
Yes.
Firstly, because of Mortgage. Your 350K house is more like 550K when you add in the mortgage interest. Getting only 300K by the time you pay it off would be devastating.
Two, what if you want to upgrade? Say you buy a starter house or condo for 200-250, with you and your wife. You have one kid, it's still OK. But she is pregnant with another, so now you want to sell your starter to move into bigger. If that starter lost value, it will devastate your finances.
>>
>>538672876
What even is the true value of a home anyway? One would assume material, labor, location, amenities. How could one even accurately quantify that over time?
>>538672999
Your scenario assumes high-interest mortgages. In China, standard cultural practice is that parents buy the first house for their kids. The money isn’t actually coming from a 20 or 30 something year old. The parents are expected to have the means to this by the time they need to, Chinese are frugal with money and save it. It’s not really a society that lives paycheck to paycheck like the West. Saving money throughout your lifetime is normal and encouraged.

You could even argue that the value going down is beneficial if you plan on living there long term since at least in theory that should result in your property taxes going down too.
>>
>>538672090
>if you purchased a property for 350,000 dollars and the value went down to 300,000 dollars, would you feel angry?
no. the value of the house is that i fucking live in it, and i derive the value from the fact that if i didn't have it, i'd be living in a tent. if i wanted to sell it, of course it will go down. i've never sold a car for equal or greater value, i've never sold a computer or a game console for equal or greater value, i've never sold any belongings for a larger amount of money than i paid for it because that makes no sense. Houses that have been lived in are USED.

>>
>>538669736
It's the same in Canada. Most of the west.
We're tax the cattle of the empire. And the empire is failing.
They can't just keep raising taxes because it would be unpopular. But policy can make housing arbitrarily expensive. Most people have to borrow to afford it. They'll end up paying the banks multiple times the price of the house most likely.
>>
>>538673419
That’s a good point. to play devils advocate, I suppose in America property values in any given community went up because demand for a property in a desirable area succeeded the supply. Later, globalism and young people being forced to compete with boomers and Blackrock turned the simple supply and demand economics into something impossible to deal with.

China doesn’t have this problem, or at least as bad, because the desirable areas have high rise buildings -typically 3b 1b or 4b 2b-so there is always more supply to go around. This is a good aspect of urbanism for the common man who wants to be able to make a life for himself.

>>538672090
I thought everyone is already used to depreciating asset. I mean, do you expect your car to rise in value after purchase and prolonged usage? A 30 years old house shouldn't cost more than its initial price since at that point, it might need serious renovation to be usable again. You can look up $0 Japanese house for reference

It really depends on the real state location.

When it comes to housing, unless it's a very unique home with a really good excuse, what really goes up is the land value, if the location is popular and there're obstacles preventing "competition".

Basically, in the case of the US since it's pretty straight forward, if you have a suburb close to a growing commerical/industrial zone and there're regulation preventing more surburban residential zones from poping up easily, good chance the homes in that suburb will go up in price, even if the homes degrade.

There is also building material inflation, which can indirectly help pushing the used real state market up because building a new home also gets more expensive, but the main factor is the land itself.

>You can look up $0 Japanese house for reference
The $0 Japanese homes cost that because not only the home is old and damaged, but more importantly, because it's in the middle of nowhere. That is happening due to the declining population. Entire towns are basically dying off and nobody wants those old houses because there're no jobs, access is bad, and there're yearly fixed asset taxes on top of it.

In contrast in Tokyo, real state prices are skyrocketing, because everybody and their grandma wants to live in Tokyo.

It’s already been established itt that you are working under the false prefix that these houses are “investments” that were assumed to eternally go up and not places of living in. You are operating under the logic of “neoliberal Amercian boomers” and not “socialist with Chinese characteristics”.
>>
>>538672090
>They are gonna LIVE in that house chud!
No, it was literally an investment vehicle. Even the lower-class guys were supposed to get a house, and then another house as an investment.
It's a massive mis-alocation of resources. Houses literally were an investment and show of wealth, they're needed to find a wife and have kids and live a normal life.

Them going down is a bad thing for the vast majority of chinese people, who would put all their money into buying a home as an investment.
>>538674038
>>538674483
Housing gets value from
>Land (location) value increases
>Rents
>Upgrades
Yeah you need these 3 typically to make any more than a 1% gain on any property. The world real estate market, in a sense, is a giant bubble because there was money to be made having none of these 3 in way too many locations.
Of course this has little to do with china, where land was used the same way we might use a retirement account in the USA, or precious metals, or something like that.
>>538674786
>You are operating under
No, the chinese were. That's literally what they were doing, there's a certain percentage of your income that's supposed to go to housing, china's was way above that percentage because THEY were using it as an investment.
I wasn't and am not, changing my point of view does not change that like a couple decades of chinese people just had their major investment go down to zero gains.

Basically you're conflating two things, the real world and your imaginary head world. The chinese themselves were using these houses as an investment and you playing word gemantra doesn't change this.
>>
>>538670393

Another thing to consider is this. Because real estate was the only way for Chinese people to invest, a lot of people did it. Entire families would take out loans to get a mortgage to buy a house with the intent of selling it at retirement age to live off of the profit.
There is now hundreds of millions of people in China in massive debt, who own a property worth less than they paid for it, and have no plan for retirement. These people are simply not gonna be able or allowed to retire now, they'll be working until they die because if they stop working, they are just left to die.
>>
>>538672090
>Question for all anons itt: if you purchased a property for 350,000 dollars and the value went down to 300,000 dollars, would you feel angry?
No, because the value doesn't matter as long as I'm using it. It only becomes a problem if I buy it in order to flip it.

>>538675096
>Speculators drive the prices of living through the roof
In this case the "speculators" were the entire chinese middle and lower class who needed any kind of safe investment vehicle the government couldn't just confiscate overnight.
When pretty much everyone in society is dumping their money into this one thing in hopes that it can make them retire in the future, but that thing crashes, it's bad actually for them.
>Muh speculators
Yeah sure buddy the middle and lower class are all speculators, right?

>>538669736
