How do Australia’s multimillion-dollar house prices compare around the world?

住房负担能力是每个澳大利亚人关心的问题。 目前,澳大利亚八个首府城市中,有四个城市的房屋中位价达到或超过100万美元,到今年年底,这个数字可能会增长到六个。 然而,澳大利亚并不是一个例子。房价快速上涨是一个全球性问题。 根据2025年Savills房地产研究报告和Finder,仅从价格来看,澳大利亚房价100万美元的城市——悉尼(中位房价160万美元)、墨尔本(103万美元)、堪培拉(106万美元)和布里斯班(101万美元)——仍然没有进入最昂贵的五大市场。 根据Demographia 2024年国际住房负担报告能力,该报告分析了2023年的数据,按贷款抵押占收入的比重计算,世界上最难以负担的城市是香港。紧随香港之后是加拿大的悉尼和温哥华,以及美国的圣何塞、洛杉矶和檀香山。 世界其他地方的房地产市场情况如何? 在世界各地,百万美元以上中件的发生率有所上升。 对来自各种国际房地产数据来源的房价数据进行分析后发现,全球许多主要城市的房价都集中在澳大利亚最昂贵的城市,例如洛杉矶(180万美元)、巴黎(210万美元)和马德里(230万美元)。 不仅仅是我们:这张标有房价中枢的世界地图显示了澳大利亚与一些主要城市的对比情况。所有城市均以澳元显示。照片:Domain 珠三角房地产首席经济学家迪亚斯瓦蒂·马尔迪亚斯莫博士表示,全球各大城市房地产高企的时代是新常态。 加拿大多伦多的四居室联排别墅售价220万加元。图片来源:Realtor.ca “就(房地产价格)趋势而言,各个国家之间几乎都是互相模仿。 “这确实让全世界的人都感到沮丧,”马迪亚斯莫说。“我和多伦多省、渥太华、马萨诸塞州的朋友,甚至上海的朋友都讨论过这个问题……他们其实都在附和其他人对澳大利亚房价的看法。” 伦敦克莱盖特的四居室住宅售价129.5万英镑。图片来源:Rightmove.co.uk 国际法兰克福银行牛津经济研究院宏观经济预测主管肖恩·兰格克(Sean Langcake)表示,此次全球住房危机的根源是供给不足。 “北美国家的情况也类似,尽管权力下放的问题不同。这是一个非常无聊的答案,但最终俱乐部回到了供应问题上,”他说。 我们无法快速建造足够的住房来满足人口的需求。随着人们寿命的延长和人口的不断增长,人们居住的地方已经不够了。 为何全球大城市都出现住房供应不足的情况? 简单的答案是,共同生活的人越来越少,人们的消费越来越长,所以我们需要为每个人提供更多的住房。 领域研究和经济学权威 Nicola Powell 博士表示:“放眼澳大利亚,单人家庭占家庭总数的 […]

Overcrowded Travel Destinations In 2025, Per New Report

作为年度最具争议的旅游问题之一,过度拥挤的旅游目的地一直是 2024 年的头条新闻,无论是因为当地人试图为当地人夺回城市,还是因为他们的基础设施在太多人群的压力下经常不堪重负。 新闻事件和支持数据表明,许多过度拥挤的旅游目的地最好重新考虑旅行计划,其中许多都在福多尔 (Fodor) 的 2025 年“禁忌名单”上,该名单列出了 15 个在预订前最好三思而行的目的地。 人满为患的旅游目的地——2024 年欧洲当地人受够了过度旅游(但游客却不多) 2024 年是迄今为止欧洲热门旅游景点反对过度旅游的新闻报道最多的一年。2024 年 4月初 ,巴塞罗那将一条公交线路从旅游地图上删除,因为这条线路上挤满了前往该市第二大景点安东尼·高迪的桂尔公园的游客。一位当地人开玩笑说,下一步可能还会将这座公园从地图上删除。 随后,一个又一个地方宣布计划减少旅游业,意大利科莫湖提出收取入场费的想法,西班牙加那利群岛的居民计划绝食,阿姆斯特丹宣布禁止新建酒店,但只有在“一进一出”的基础上,并且只有在对之前的现状进行可持续改善的情况下,才允许其继续建设酒店。 到了 2024 年 7 月的旅游旺季,欧洲许多地方的情况都达到了 顶峰 。当地人在巴塞罗那用水枪向游客喷水,举着“回家”的横幅,市长宣布计划在 2028 年前禁止使用 Airbnb。由于担心气候危机导致森林火灾和水资源短缺,希腊圣托里尼岛禁止了建筑。水资源短缺导致这个旅游胜地的葡萄酒产量下降了 50%,当地的葡萄酒经济陷入低谷。不久之后,希腊总理基里亚科斯·米佐塔基斯宣布计划从 […]
