After looking at the new and second-hand houses for two months, Xu Ye (pseudonym) finally finalized a house in a new real estate.

Calculated based on the time when Xu also bought his first house in Shanghai, this is his 12th year living in Shanghai. Xu also sold the 65-square-meter one bedroom and one living room that his family bought for himself during college, and replaced a 99-square-meter three-bedroom and two living room with “no price increase”.

And he also changed from a single young man to a girl’s husband. Together, the couple longed for the day when they moved into a new home.

Buying a house: My mother bought a suite for herself in school

In 2008, Xu from a city below the second tier in Zhejiang also attended college in Shanghai. grade.

In October, Xu Ye’s cousin, who had already settled in Shanghai, took a fancy to a new project in Shanghai Waigaoqiao. When seeing the house, Xu also went to see with his parents and relatives, and was moved immediately.

At that time, Xu also lived in a “single room” in the university dormitory. However, this room was originally a utility room in a corner, and it faces north. In Xu Ye’s words: “I always feel there is a musty smell in the room, and it’s very cold in winter.”

Xu is a certain kind of complex and persistence of Zhejiang people; Xu is After “visiting” her son’s bedroom, Xu Ye’s mother felt distressed every winter. The belief that “I want to buy a house for her son in Shanghai” had already planted a seed in Xu Ye’s mother’s heart. At the end of 2008, this seed took root and sprouted after being mobilized by relatives and seeing the new house in person.

Xu’s mother took a fancy to a three-bedroom and one living room of more than 80 square meters. However, Xu also denied it. He preferred the 65-square-meter “small house” next door.

In Xu Ye’s words, although it is only 65 square meters, this apartment is square and “looks particularly upright”. And all the rooms face south, warm in winter and cool in summer, so it is easier to clean them alone.

“Our family has always felt that wherever we live, we should buy a suite.” Xu Ye said that the cousin’s high school and university were both in Hangzhou. One family bought a house in Hangzhou. When the eldest cousin came to work in Shanghai, the uncle’s family sold the property in Hangzhou and bought a house in Shanghai.Replacement: 65 square meters “no markup” turned into 99 square meters

Two years ago, Xu also got married and the couple lived on 65 square meters In fact, I feel very warm in my house, but considering that if you have a child in the future, the family may “cannot turn around”, and when the child grows up, naturally there should be a separate bedroom.

In August 2020, Xu Ye and his wife will hang out the “small house” which is already a “school district room”, and plan to sell it slowly while looking at the new house slowly. . Unexpectedly, thanks to the surrounding “good school district”, the small house of Xu Ye’s family was “sought after” after it was put up. Several groups of people came to see the house immediately after the house was put out, and there was a couple in the first week A young couple with two sons who are about to enter school in the family visited the room twice.

On the 10th day after listing, Xu Ye’s “small house” transaction was concluded. Xu Ye and his wife looked at the house anxiously. In this replacement process, Xu Ye and his wife were more cautious.

After seeing all kinds of new and second-hand houses in the suburbs of the city, they finally decided on a set although it is remote, but the apartment is very positive and the price Also relatively low new houses.

“99 square meters of three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, two bedrooms facing south, and a large balcony.” Xu Ye said, “I didn’t have any particular decision to buy this set. At that time, I felt that everything was pretty good, so I participated in the recognition plan and wanted to try it. The result was a very high number, and then the suite was taken down.”

< /div>Xu also said that before, he actually liked a set of “leakage rooms” in the inner ring, with two bedrooms and two halls. The location is very good and the price is relatively low in the same area. But the main problem is that there is only one bathroom. “I’m worried that my family will grab the toilet in the future.” In addition, “The money from selling the small house is just enough for the full amount here, and there is enough money left to buy a parking space.”

Xu Ye’s friends think that the money from selling the “small house” can actually buy a house in a better location if you make a down payment, but Xu also thinks of repaying the loan in the next 30 years , I still feel a little bit stressed. “There are too many changes in life.” Xu Ye said, considering the future, he made a more conservative choice, “Anyway, I live by myself, and I don’t use it for investment. I feel this is more secure and has no debt.”

This time, Xu’s father is also very satisfied, because “The house has become bigger, so you can live more comfortably.”
