大陆房地产绝密“潜规则”购房者欲哭无泪


红网12日报导,该报一名记者卧底做一名售楼员,揭示卖楼之前首先是“卖自己”:不仅穿着、谈吐要做好包装,还要迅速磨掉你性格中的那些菱角。而干这一行,“潜规则”、“不习惯”,是必不可少的,但赚到钱、学到策略才是王道。理论上,你能把房子卖好,就能卖好一切东西——这个行业特有的生态环境决定了售楼员的业绩就是整个销售行业的技术高度。


绝密一:现在你们知道炒房团怎么炒了吧?

绝大多数人都以为是开盘之后温州人和山西人以市场价买进。那你就错了,炒房团深知开发商的软肋——缺钱!巨额资金的介入,会让开发商眼前一亮,头晕目眩。
因为,说实在话,几亿、十几亿从银行得到贷款,远不是想像的那么容易。炒房团,就是有钱人组成团,给房地产开发商提供巨额资金。
目的一:帮助房地产商,使其光环维持和光大。房地产行业,时刻在风口狼尖上,不进则退,不活则死。
目的二:使城市房屋(包括商、住)价格狂飙,彻底激活消费者买涨不买跌的心理。
目的三:盘活房地产开发商的资金链,使其银行巨额贷款的困难逐步消化,分解给刚性购房群体和中产阶层(绝大部份都是银行按揭)。
实际上,投资性购房者可以说是像狗一样地在吃人家丢的骨头。
显而易见,房地产的泡沫是由:1、愚民的政府政策;2、贪婪的商业银行;3、无德的富人阶层;4、无辜的中华文明(安家立业是成年标志)这四个条件促成的。

绝密二:房子究竟值多少钱?

你说它值多少钱它就值多少钱!既然买房子对所有人来说都是投资,那么它的价格与成本之间小幅度或大幅度的波动,都应该认为是正常的。
没有涨和跌反而是不正常的,涨的越快,应该跌的越猛。
公众期盼的是:1、富人应该有社会公德,不应该为高房价推波助澜;2、国家政策应该明确,你鼓动高房价就是与缩小贫富差距相悖;3、商业银行应该为关乎民族命运的科教文卫和制造业发展提供服务,为热衷于虚拟经济的降降温。

绝密三:房地产行业的潜规则:

官商勾结成大事。不与官(至少是涉及的所有主管部门一把手)勾结寸步难行。想勾结出感情,不动大手笔免谈。
噱头必不可少。要么是海外投资的旗号(其实是老虎皮),要么是浙闽大亨的来头。奔驰车和保时捷排量越大越有感召力,宣传册子、广告语越霸气越能打动中国人。

绝密四:说说散户炒房。

1、100万资金首付30%,按揭3套100万的期房,总价300万,支出90万。
2、两年后交房,当天交房屋维修基金和契税3.5%。两年期间已归还银行贷款30万。当你收到房子时,你已经累计支出130.5万元。
3、此时,房价已经过两年的共20%的上涨,市场上你的3套房总价已达360万。通过你在房屋中介公司挂牌销售,你可能有幸按360万全部脱手,获利29.5万。
4、实际获利与银行存款相比,100万元银行2年期存款利息可达12万元(大额存款是高利息),你实际比银行存款利息多得17.5万元。
5、如果中介在1年内才把你的3套房出手,你实际获利比存款利息还要少3.5万元(多还一年房贷15万元)。
6、若恰逢国家房地产政策调控,或者你贪婪地捂到5年后出手,你自己计算吧。到那时候,你就死去吧。不仅仅是sb。
那时候,银行会一天一个函催你还款。你实在挺不住了,把“夏利”车也卖了,把16岁的女儿也早早嫁人,甚至你老婆会到广州街头“站街”帮你赚钱还债。也许你会跳楼。即使你不跳楼,法院会把你领进小黑屋。如果你跳楼,那就是中国房地产崩盘了。

绝密五:再说说炒房团。

资金从哪里来?
山西煤老板:非法开采国家资源,廉价使用劳动力,因陋就简的采掘设备和安全技术措施,结伙入盟哄抬煤炭价格,以极快的速度实现资本积累。
温州客:没有文化的个体户出身,小手工作坊仿冒国际名牌产品,在全国各地(特别是西部偏远落后地区)开设销售网点,春江水暖鸭先知把握了市场经济形势,早期敛财速度惊人。大资金动辙数千万、数亿、数十亿。
福建客:房地产热之前(2005年之前),全国70%的公路、铁路、电站隧道工程几乎被福建人一手独揽,采取不正当的手段榨取民工血汗,钻营中国央企施工企业(说白了就是给央企领导投资),很快发达。要知道隧道工程资金流量巨大,比如一项工程总投资3个亿,赚5,000万利润是最笨的福建老板。另外,早年的走私之流,能让杨钰莹这样的名女人都投怀送抱,可见走私资本积累速度也是很罕见的。

绝密六:炒房的暴利究竟有多大?

以楼上为例,提前与房地产董事长暗地协议,以2,200元/平方米抢购巨量房源(至少300套),鼓动市场价超过7,000元,并力挺10,000元/平,逐步随售楼部销售出手,资金逐步回笼,在中共政府的目前政策形势下,回笼的越慢,反而利益收获就越大。大到多少?
当二、三线城市的平均房价达到10,000元/平的时候,炒房团的收益完全可以达到500%!炒房团扑向一个城市,是同时扑向所有楼盘。这样一来,一个城市的房价飙升已成定势!以去年底的海南岛为例,炒房团可以让海南的房价一天一个价,一夜一个行情,造就一个又一个真实的梦!
其实,炒房团的组成人员,绝大多数都是高中没读完的,自己签个名字都歪歪扭扭。炒房的技术含量确实很低,真的很低,会用加减乘除足矣,甚至连加权平均都不用。更不用看什么各类权威的什么CPI、PPI、GDP。投入了一些钱,3个月后赚多少钱?6个月后赚多少?1年后赚多少?

绝密七:房地产会崩盘吗?

崩盘是什么概念呀?房价崩盘了,中国就乱了。
那时候说不清人民币究竟会升值还是贬值,反正银行要不会倒闭,但存款取现困难,30%的央企倒闭,60%的中小民企消失。但房价必须下跌,跌30~40%一点也不过分,到这个水平,银行依然不吃亏,已买房自住的跟这几乎没关系,想买房的肯定喜上眉梢。炒房团或投资性购房的散户,为国家和社会做点贡献合情合理。

绝密八:房市四大傻

1、自住房买涨不买跌的心理害人又害己,是一大傻;
2、不要以为买房子从银行贷款手续简单就很方便。银行的还款计划是前2年先把它的利息大部份回收,银行是贪婪的,也是不可靠的。贷款180万、25年还贷期是二大傻;
3、如果你是城镇户口,没有迁移户口的需求,现在买房子是大笨蛋。
买房自住的叫“房奴”,前世来生都得还,“出来混,总是要还的”。每个月还银行几千元,你从今往后的生活就谈不上质量。城镇居民买高价房是三大傻;
4、有人说,买得起高价房是男人成功标志,这里我要说,买高价房的人都是四大傻。
建议:真的要住城市,租房(当然要稳定的租价和租期)是最好的选择。

绝密九:知道什么是“房虫”吗

在北方,街上练摊的,都要请些哥们朋友来捧场,造成人头攒动的声势,名字叫“托儿”。房地产行业的“托儿”有个专用名称叫“房虫”。
1、楼盘开盘当天,你要去买房子排队买号,你也许排在第500位的号,然而等你出手敲定一套房子,等你签定合约时,你会发现你的合约编号是第0030号。
你明白了吗?你前面后面排队的数百人、上千人,都是人家花小费请来的“房虫”!
2、还有一类“房虫”,是真的交定金、签合同。然而1~3个月后,一旦房价飙涨,他们会成批成批地退房。他们是打“假球”,真正目的是把球传给刚性购买群体。当然,他们与房地产老板的合同与你的合同有关键性的差别:不存在退房扣5%的违约金!
肯定啦,买房时的定金是房地产老板提前给的。还有,不瞎忙,参与本次房虫活动,每个操作员都有5,000~20,000的“辛苦费”。你相信吗?

绝密十:究竟有多少人在真正关心房价?

1、政府官员:关心自己的仕途;关心本界政绩;关心本辖区的GDP,能创造越多的地王,本地经济越繁荣。
2、商业银行:历来发愁货币贷款任务完不成。放贷越多,收益越大。存款准备金或贸易逆差是北京总部的事(各商业银行在全国的市级分行网点至少5,000个,具体小政策自己灵活机动掌握)。
3、经济学家:是读书到博士、评职称到正教授级、写书给省部级刊物,顺理成章到所谓的“发展研究中心”上班,每天8小时上班,业余时间保养下身体,否则头发会掉光。不可忽视的是,相当一部份经济学家已经依附于财团,持有的某些观点是为了赚得一些小实惠。
4、富人阶层(仅流动资金就超过500万人民币):早就对房子这个东西没有激情啦(早有豪华居所)。
5、中产阶层(固定资本超100万,流动资本低于100万):可能介入炒股、炒房,会迅速步入富人阶层或沦为贫民阶层。
6、贫民阶层(上班族或个体业主,家庭月收入低于10000,存款低于10万):是刚性消费群体,对房价涨跌敏感,有强烈的改善住房需求,是忠实房奴。
7、贫困阶层(家庭月收入低于3,000,比如即将倒闭的企业职工,频繁跳槽的年轻大学生,还有农民及农民工,存款低于20,000):有饭吃、饿不死的一族,城市买房几乎是梦。
8、特困阶层(家庭月总收入低于1,000,天旱没水吃,下雨屋漏雨):是政府救济对象,听买房子像听天书。

最后问一句你属于哪个阶层呢。
