If you don't believe me, let's take a look at the crazy ancient property market. Maybe you will sigh the current property market. It is a good choice to start early.
The predecessor of ancient real estate: Han dynasty, buying a house was very cheap, and there was a concept of real estate, but the ancients would not call it real estate. However, the sale of houses in the Han dynasty was combined with land, so it was very similar to the concept of real estate. Although the concept is similar, the house price in Han dynasty can be said to be cabbage price.
Explaining the School in Juyan Han Bamboo Slips describes that the house price in Han Dynasty is low, "riding to Xu Zongjia by bus, the residential area is worth 3,000 yuan". What does this mean? In other words, the house of the aristocratic descendants in small cities only needs 3000 yuan.
How much is 3 thousand? According to experts' research, the average annual income of Han people is about 2500 yuan, and they can buy a good house after working for two years. Compared with modern people, the house price is obvious, right?
The reason why the house prices in the Han Dynasty were so low that ordinary people could choose to buy and sell freely was not only because the land was vast but also because people had a wider range of choices. More importantly, the land grant system was implemented in the Han Dynasty, and the state gave the land free of charge, and only needed to build a house at its own expense, so the house price naturally came down. Although the Han dynasty restricted the sale of houses, the need to buy houses also idled the emergence of real estate speculators in the Han dynasty to a certain extent.
House prices can't go up forever. The crazy real estate in Song Dynasty was far more than that in modern times, but the house price could not remain stable. After the Han Dynasty, wars broke out everywhere, even if there was a stable period, it was impossible to continue the property market policy of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, every dynasty has a property market policy. Compared with modern times, the property market in Song Dynasty was quite crazy.
In the Song Dynasty, the real estate market was more standardized, so who would appear? That's the real estate agent, who will help you rent, buy and sell. In Song Dynasty, the real estate agent was called Fang Ya, and the teeth of houses on the street were not scarce compared with modern times.
The property market without data support is meaningless. Therefore, in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the population density of Bianjing, the capital city, was 1 km2 and1.2000. This density is equivalent to going north to Guangzhou.
You know, the Song Dynasty is very old, and the population density can be seen. With a large population and a small population, house prices naturally soared in the Song Dynasty. Dignitaries may not be able to afford a house in the capital. Even Su Zhe said, "I have no house at the age of 70, and I am in politics at night."
Su Zhe was a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. He also worked as an assistant minister and senior minister when he was alive, but he still couldn't afford a house in the Song Dynasty.
In the Song Dynasty, there were two ways to own a house: renting and buying. But you can't afford a house unless you are rich. In the Song Dynasty, the most expensive single rent could reach 15 or even 20 per month.
During the Hui Zong period, there was a corrupt prime minister named He Zhizhong. His monthly rental income can reach 3600 yuan, which is about eight times that of the Prime Minister.
What if you really have no money? Then you can live in a public rental house in the Song Dynasty. A few hundred a month is still very good. After all, ordinary people in the Song Dynasty can still afford this money with a monthly income of about 3,000 yuan. But the living environment can only be said to be very general. Maybe it's just a little better than cage homes in Hong Kong.
House prices were still very high in the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing dynasty, the so-called affordable housing only served the privileged class. The real estate market in Tang and Song dynasties was crazy, and the government's intervention was not enough. Therefore, in ancient times, merchants made a lot of money, although they valued agriculture and suppressed commerce. Who told others to have a good business mind?
However, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, although the official control of the real estate market became stricter, compared with modern times, owning a house was still beyond the reach of ordinary people.
It is no exaggeration to say that the housing prices in the Ming Dynasty were very abnormal. How deformed is it? In terms of house prices along Qinhuai River, if you want to sing backyard flowers across the river, please feel your pocket. A house costs almost 600 taels of silver, while an ordinary person works for a year, but it only costs 8 taels to 10 taels, which is on the premise of no unemployment.
Even in imperial academy, if you want to buy a house, you can only dismiss all the servants, so you can save more than 200 taels of income a year and buy a small house of tens of square meters.
As for the Qing dynasty, we can feel the progress of the Qing dynasty from the appearance of affordable housing. But! Affordable housing in Qing dynasty needs to be allocated to standard bearers according to grades. Ordinary people want to live? Nice try! First-class officials can get 20 rooms, second-class officials can get 15 rooms, and so on. Friends who don't believe it, you can go and see the whole city of Nanjing, and I believe you will understand what the affordable housing in Qing Dynasty was like.
Although modern housing prices are high, it is much easier to buy a house than in ancient times. Although it is easy to be beaten and sprayed, it is easy to eat meat. But it is true in modern times. In ancient times, there was a saying that "the world is not a king's land". All the land belongs to the emperor, but if the emperor doesn't care much, it will be used by businessmen.
After the Han dynasty, farmers lost their land and farmland, so they had no more opportunities to make money like modern farmers, while businessmen earned a lot of money. The gap between the rich and the poor in ancient times is extremely huge!
There is also a gap between the rich and the poor in modern times, but the difficulty of buying a house is still far behind that in ancient times. Modern housing, not all areas of housing prices are very abnormal, the state will control, so that everyone can not afford to buy a house. Big cities also say that after all, the population density is really too high, and it is difficult for house prices to soar.
It was difficult to buy a house in ancient times, but it was not easy to rent a house. Not much different from modern times. The only huge gap is that ordinary people have a higher level of living security, and people are more free and have more choices.
I believe everyone can feel this. Otherwise, the huge gap between the rich and the poor, if ordinary people lose cultivated land, can only be completely finished, this world has long been more Bobby Chen and Guangwu, isn't it? I don't know what you think. When is the best time to buy a house?
