年轻购房者的问题和解决方案 Young Homebuyers Issues & Solutions James 市场总结 James Market Summary * 在惯例的七月冬季，墨尔本房产市场拍卖数量刮起了一股下降之风。看一下右方我们拍卖房产的图表—-很多人正开始暂停拍卖。 * 竞标者数量今天有所下降，然而房产质量本月有明显松动。 * 流拍较我们近期看到的要多，这是房产质量征兆的一部分，这同样也反应了卖主预期与市场博弈的情况。 * 在我们参加的27场拍卖中，81%的拍卖有2-6位竞标者，只要市场按这个力度走，这是个非常非常坚实的结果。 * 总的来讲，我们今天看到的，不多。市场的成交在心理上受到了媒体讨论的影响（这并不是抱怨——我们需要有这种讨论），虽然过一个周末长假，房产质量有所降低，但还是有了坚实的结果。 * 另外，欢迎回到James市场新闻（本周与下周将是大专题）。欢迎年轻的购房者在下两周分享我们的专题文章，然后在7月份学校假期期间市场新闻会暂停，James购房中介仍对客户开放。 The Inner Melbourne Market is beginning its wind down into the traditional July Winter break. Look at our forward auction stock graphs to the right – most are beginning to shut up shop.
