What is the housing vacancy rate? How to calculate the housing vacancy rate

When buying a house, you may have heard the word housing vacancy rate, but do you know what housing vacancy rate is? Do you know how to calculate the vacancy rate? Is it reasonable to know the vacancy rate? Let Xiaobian tell you these questions one by one.

1、 What is the vacancy rate?

Housing vacancy rate refers to the ratio of vacant housing area to the total area at a certain time and range. Generally speaking, we often say that there are two kinds of housing vacancy rates: one refers to the vacant part of the sold housing, which mainly focuses on the utilization rate of housing stock; Another refers to the houses completed in that year but not sold.

2、 How to calculate the housing vacancy rate?

The calculation method of housing vacancy rate is related to the selected range and time. That is, the vacancy rate of sold commercial housing is calculated as follows: vacancy rate = area of commercial housing for sale & pile; The area of all stock commercial housing.

The calculation method of the vacancy rate of commercial housing for sale is as follows: vacancy rate = the area of commercial housing completed but not sold in the current year & pile; Total stock of commercial housing area.

3、 How much is the housing vacancy rate reasonable?

According to international practice, the vacancy rate of commercial housing is between 5% and 10%, which is a reasonable area. At this time, the supply and demand of commercial housing is balanced, which is conducive to the healthy development of economy; The vacancy rate of 10% - 20% is a dangerous area. At this time, the government may take some measures to increase the sales of commercial housing, so as to ensure the normal development of the real estate market and the normal operation of the economy. When the vacancy rate is more than 20%, it will become a serious backlog area of commercial housing.

However, international standards are not necessarily applicable to China, because the process of large-scale urbanization in western countries has long ended, while China has just begun. It is normal for the real estate market to have a certain amount of vacant area. After the completion and acceptance of commercial housing, it will not necessarily be transferred to consumers immediately, but will be sold or rented out, which requires a reasonable period of time. During this period, these commercial houses will be temporarily vacant.

There are three reasons for the vacancy of houses:

First, the price of commercial housing is expensive. Under normal circumstances, it takes a family's savings for many years. When buying, consumers are very cautious and need some time to make decisions.

Second, commercial housing is a commodity with great differences. Consumers always try to find their favorite commercial housing, which takes a lot of time.

Third, commercial housing is a more complex commodity with a lot of implied information. In order to reach a transaction, there is a process of information communication between developers and consumers.

Based on the above three points, commercial housing vacancy can be divided into friction vacancy and market vacancy according to the length of time.
