[2/13/12]房市不佳 小規模裝修活絡 華爾街日報報導,房市疲軟連帶影響裝修業,但2011年全美房屋裝修量增加,裝修業營業額成長約3.3%,這是2006年以來首次出現成長。專門追蹤全美住家裝修狀況的北卡州公司BuildFax也指出,近來裝修市場活絡,為近七年最佳。北卡州全國營建業協會(National Association of Home Builders)首席經濟學家克羅(David Crowe)認為,因房市復甦緩慢,許多屋主放棄換屋計畫,投資裝修住家提升生活品質。
專家指出,目前房價仍處於谷底,有部分地區仍在下滑,屋主申貸房屋淨值貸款不易,多數屋主選擇進行小規模裝修,譬如更新照明設備或櫥櫃等。BuildFax研究與發展部副總裁艾莫森(Joe Emison)說,近年來屋主裝修房子漸趨「務實」。西雅圖房地產仲介公司Redfin Corp總裁凱曼(Glenn Kelman)表示,許多屋主原本不打算久住,但不得不改變主意。 加州屋主費特勒(Rich Fitterer)於2004年花56萬5000元購買獨棟屋,他估計房價跌到40萬元,儘管如此,最近他決定整修前院,包括增建露台與種植植物,預計花費4萬元。費特勒說,目前工作穩定,住家離海灘僅10哩遠,家人都很喜歡當地居家環境,「為長久之計,我們要把房子裝修的更舒適」。 據房地美(Freddie Mac)統計,2011年第三季屋主利用房屋淨值重貸,總計53億元,相較第二季下降10億元,跟2006年第二季的837億元更是相差甚遠。建材供應商顧問柏恩斯(John Burns)說,房屋淨值縮水,難免影響屋主的裝修意願。 據BuildFax調查,除芝加哥市區近年房屋裝修平均花費下降,從2006年的1萬2600元降至2011年的1萬1000元,其他包括加州洛杉磯市區、德州達拉斯/福和市區,及明尼蘇達州明尼亞波利斯市/聖保羅市區等地,都會區裝修市場比郊區活絡。艾莫森說,目前更換屋頂是較普遍的裝修工程,其他如浴室裝修、增建露台與車庫改裝等項目亦較多。 加州裝修公司Own Native Landscape Design以往承接工程以裝修新屋為主,但近來新建房屋量減少,反而多半是室內小裝修,「這類裝修占五分之四」。負責人魯賓(Greg Rubin)說,近來裝修生意略顯回升,但因房子不再大幅增值,業務量增但獲利減少。 Read more: 世界新聞網-北美華文新聞、華商資訊 - 房市不佳 小規模裝修活絡 |
