According to Alibaba, more than 5,000 real estate brokers from over 100 cities in China have embraced the live-streaming rooms method, allowing homebuyers to view homes and make deals of their own homes.
Economic Uncertainty and Fluctuations in Interest Rate
Economic risks, such as recessions, changes in GDP growth and international trade conflicts, can all have an impact on the real estate market. During uncertain economic times, consumer confidence and expenditure declined, resulting in lower property demand and investment. Interest rate changes can have a big impact on the real estate market.
The price of monthly mortgage payments is affected by interest rates. A period of high interest rates will raise the cost of mortgage payments and reduce demand for home purchases. Renting is more attractive than owning due to high interest rates. If homeowners with large variable mortgages, interest rates have a greater impact. Extremely low interest rates, on the other hand, can cause asset bubbles and instability in the housing market.
