The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 7
There is nothing important in life except death. Food, clothing, housing and transportation last a lifetime.

Seven things to do every day to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

The dust has settled and the money is in hand.In this life, you can try more and learn more about the world. A colorful life is about to begin.

After dinner in the morning, I rode an electric donkey and drove all the way to a nearby real estate agency.At present, housing prices in Luzhou have not skyrocketed and are very stable. Last year they increased slightly by a few hundred yuan, about 5.6 thousand yuan per square meter.

After searching around, I found a real estate agency with a very ordinary appearance, even a bit old. How can there be such an exaggerated level of intermediaries everywhere in later generations, like a house with ten steps.

"Brother, are there any houses for sale nearby?" He asked proactively after seeing that no one was paying attention to him.

At present, there is only one person in the agency, a salesman, who is busy with the computer. He is not in the habit of playing with his mobile phone anytime and anywhere.

The mobile phones of this era are said to be smart phones, but they do not have many functions, there are not so many softwares, and there are not many interesting games. The world is still dominated by desktops and notebooks.

"What kind of house do you want to rent and how big is it?" the agent answered casually without raising his head.

Zhou You didn't care. After all, it was basically impossible for him to buy a house at his age. He just emphasized, "I want to buy a second-hand house. It needs to be well-decorated, preferably with all the appliances and can be moved in!"

The salesman stood up and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm the only one in the store. I was busy with something and I neglected you. My surname is Li. You can just call me Xiao Li. What's your surname?"

"Excuse me. My surname is Zhou. Please introduce me to a suitable house."

"Brother Zhou, do you have any requirements on distance? There are several houses nearby, mainly Kowloon Garden, Xinyuan Community, and the one-mile bungalow across the road. Is there any place that meets your requirements?"

"Kowloon Garden and Yili Villa are too close to the train track. If we don't consider it, you can find me a house in Xinyuan Community, preferably on the 2.3rd floor. Maybe we can view the house today?"

"Okay, brother, I happen to have a few sets here. Can I take you to see them now?"

The two of them rode their little donkeys towards Xinyuan Community.

Why Zhou You bought a house in this community was mainly because it was familiar to him and it was very close to the school.

In his previous life, he lived in this community for a period of time. It wasn't full of emotions, but it was full of memories.

At that time, I had just graduated and didn't have much money, so I rented a house here with my friends. When I just graduated, I had the deepest affection for the school. After all, I had been studying here, and I was very familiar with the places for eating, drinking and having fun around it. , I have a natural sense of closeness. When I have nothing to do on weekends, I can still go to the campus to hang out and recall my lost youth. Gradually, as my work becomes busy, I come to the school less and less.

"Brother, Xinyuan Community is multi-story and has no elevator. The main unit types are 110.130.160, 130, and 2.3. They are all transparent houses from the north to the south. The housing availability rate is very high. It is suitable for young people to live in. You can also exercise by climbing stairs." The agent walked while walking introduce. "The house I'm taking you to now is a [-]-meter apartment. The owner's child works in Shanghai. He needs to sell the house here to raise a down payment for the child. Think about the housing prices in Shanghai, [-] per square meter. How can anyone buy it? "Did you get up? Tsk tsk" said the middle-aged person.
Zhou You listened silently, yes, no matter what era, housing prices are a big investment, but now at least you can afford it if you jump up and down, but in later generations, you will be completely desperate, you can't afford it anyway, so whatever.

The house is on the third floor, which is a good floor. In a multi-story house, there used to be a saying that the three floors are gold, three, and silver. The third and fourth floors are the best. Whether it is lighting or ventilation, the upstairs and downstairs are good.This house was originally renovated and was intended for the children's wedding. Unfortunately, they had great ambitions and stopped working on it. Now it is not available for sale. After all, it has been renovated.

Some people say, isn’t it well decorated?

It is difficult to sell a new house that has been renovated, because most people who buy houses are for marriage and living, which is the so-called rigid need. They all want to buy a house and decorate it according to their own wishes.

Besides, now that the decoration is finished, how do I calculate the price? If it’s too expensive, I don’t want to buy it. If it’s too cheap, the landlord won’t do it, and he’s been putting it off until now.

After looking around, I found that the decoration was okay, and the refrigerator, air conditioner, washing machine, and TV were all fully equipped.

“How long has this house been renovated?”

"It has been vacant for more than a year because it has been renovated and the owner does not want to rent it out. If you like this house, you can live in it at any time. Just replace the household items."

Zhou You looked carefully. After all, he would definitely have to live here for a while. It would take a few years until the rose garden next to it was built. Then he would buy a large flat next to it, or buy a villa, and live together.

This house has three bedrooms, two living rooms and one bathroom. Unlike later generations, such a large area must have two bathrooms. I have to say that the two bathrooms are really comfortable, especially if you are not nervous in the morning, otherwise it will be difficult to go to the toilet when there are more people.

I walked around every house, and there was actually a study room. I was very satisfied with this tour. Think about how many people still have study rooms. Isn’t this a waste of space? It’s not enough to live in. There is no room for books.

Although I was quite satisfied, Zhou You still wanted to see a few more, just in case there were better ones.

But aside from that, the intermediaries of today are infinitely better than those of later generations. There are fewer deceptions and tricks. The intermediaries of later generations have so many tricks that you can’t guard against them.

The first is fake housing, which attracts people with cheap houses. When you are interested, take the initiative to contact the agent, and the other party will immediately confirm the viewing time with you. After meeting you, they will usually say that the apartment is too hot. It has just been sold, but there are several similar houses available, let's go check them out, waste your time, and attract a sale.

Second, the order of house viewing is also full of routines. First, I will show you a house with medium conditions, then an average house, which will create a psychological gap for you, and then go to the "good" house I want you to buy, so that you have Don’t underestimate the simple sequence arrangement of “medium difference is good”, which makes your eyes brighter and makes you excited. It plays an important role in improving the transaction rate.

The third is to eat the price difference. The common tactics used by intermediaries are to lower the seller's psychological expectations and constantly reduce prices; on the other hand, to increase the buyer's psychological expectations, constantly raise prices, and take advantage of the intermediate information gap. If both parties want to close the deal as soon as possible, they can gain from it. A certain "hardship fee" or "tea fee".

I won’t talk about it later. There are more and more tricks developed by intermediaries. Ordinary people have never been exposed to them. They are all confused. It is best to be deceived unknowingly. When you find out later, it is also the case for both parties. The constant wrangling involves too much of your time and energy, just because the intermediary's interests are too great. It's just the intermediary fee. Calculated based on the house price, it is usually about 3%. Think about the houses that will start at 200 million in future generations. No wonder the real estate agents in BJ Shanghai are fighting. Woolen cloth.
