young people who have just come to big cities to work hard used to regard buying a house as their ultimate goal. later i found that setting the flag not only increased financial pressure, but also reduced the happiness of life due to the heavy psychological burden.

recently, a group of young people who really want to live a new life no longer want to buy a house, but regard looking at houses as a new hobby.

“viewing a house is a market research that many migrant workers do for themselves before moving or buying a house. this thing itself does not cost money, and there is no rush to close the deal at the moment, so there is a lot less urgency. when you don’t have to worry when you have enough budget in your pocket, looking at a house is no different than going to a shopping mall, and you have food, drinks, and a car to pick you up, which is even more comfortable than going to a shopping mall.”

it is difficult for young people to discover the joy of looking at houses at first. "once you come to a big city to rent a house, you will be tortured by trivial matters such as lighting, electricity, and gas."

so much so that when you see someone around you who regards house-viewing as a hobby, you will feel that the other person is a little confused, "go out to eat, drink and have fun, stay at home and watch tv dramas and blow off the air conditioner. what can you do that is not as exciting as climbing up the stairs to look at houses."

many people first go to see a house, either to plan their own home buying direction in advance, or to be actively approached by an agent they are familiar with before, so that they can help complete the performance. as a result, after looking at it, i suddenly realized that house viewing is the short trip on weekends where you can find the most surprises.

“it’s always hard to make up the time for a date with friends, but the agency will not only ignore you, but will even ride an electric car to pick you up. along the way, he will explain to you the supporting business districts and hidden snacks in the area, just like the most reliable a local tour guide. i have been living nearby for two or three years before i heard from the agent that there is a community center with free activities at the west gate of the community.”

in the past, young people always liked to read home furnishing bloggersroomtourafter decompressing the video, i later discovered that immersive house viewing is the best way to satisfy my imagination of a better life.

"it's the same as visiting, climbing stairs, and having someone explain it. in a sense, viewing a house is also like viewing an exhibition. from the layout of the apartments to the taste of decoration, from old and small to high-end apartment buildings, in just a few hours, i not only understood everything market conditions, and the intermediary brother also popularized psychology, economics and other aspects of house buying and selling.”

many people think that looking at a house without buying or renting it is too boring, but young people think, "looking at a house is like trying on clothes in the mall. it doesn't matter if you can't afford it. after all, after you have tried it, you will know what it looks like and what to buy in the future." i have an idea of ​​the apartment type and the decoration style. even if i don’t have time to climb the stairs, i can still exercise.”

there are even some young people who originally had no intention of spending money, but after seeing a house, they become potential customers and start to re-plan their life goals. "i originally thought that i could live in a makeshift apartment, but after seeing a better life, i began to think about how to support myself and work hard so that i could live in this warm model apartment as soon as possible."

after falling in love with house viewing, some young people began to feel uneasy, "they are always afraid of delaying the agency's work and wasting other people's feelings." it was not until a month later that they received a private message from the agent asking, "sister, are you busy today?" i haven’t had enough viewings lately and i have to hit the kpi. let’s go look at the property together when we have time!”

beipiao liuliu started looking at houses as a hobby, and unlocked it unintentionally when she was going out for a weekend. “there is always an agent setting up a whiteboard at the entrance of the community. i would take a second look when passing by, even though the house i rented is still half a year old. it’s due, but paying more attention will always lead to a better understanding of the market.”

"later, i became friends with the agency brother, and occasionally went to see a few houses. then i found that it didn't matter whether the house was rented or not. by looking at the houses, i got a good idea of ​​the food, drink, and entertainment in the area."

“across two streets is the hidden beijing no. after i got used to it, it was much cheaper when i changed my house.”

most young people who love to look at houses start by looking at houses for rent, and then gradually differentiate. people in novice village will walk into the sales office to unlock the joy of viewing new houses; while bold high-end players will look for high-end apartments and villas with less stringent capital verification to experience the decoration taste of old-money families.

xiao wu from chengdu used to not understand why a sales office could be so grand, but later he discovered that a sales office is not as simple as everyone thought.

"fresh-cut fruit and hot tea and coffee are just standard features in a sales office. nowadays, luxury sales offices are also equipped with gyms, galleries, and children's playgrounds. this is the adult version of a daycare, a large-scale nursing home closest to your home. theme park.”

in order to enhance the style, some sales offices will hold wine tastings and coffee latte art activities to attract more customers. "you are the most popular atmosphere group if you are a working person. even if you don't buy a house, the agency will not kick you out. after all, they have to spend money to hire extras.”

when they first started looking at new houses, many young people felt a little uneasy, thinking that they didn't have much money in their pockets and lacked confidence.

later i found out that i was overthinking it. “in the past few years, when some real estate properties were booming, some consultants would lie and say they didn’t bring the keys and hastily end the viewing. in the past two years, intermediaries have generally been more buddhist-style. they will show you the house and complete the viewing.” look at the kpi, and it’s possible to close the deal, so it’s better than doing nothing.”

some bold young people are already eager to take a look at the mansion.

"as for villas, some basements and attics cannot be displayed on the platform, so only on-site visits can give you that immersive feeling. others spend money to see exhibitions to improve their taste, but you can go directly to lao qian's home to learn aesthetics. it's worth it."

"although buying a villa depends on money, viewing the villa is free. even if you don't have the life of a rich woman, you can still enjoy the luxury experience for a limited time, and comment on the taste of rich people in a clear and logical way."

after falling in love with property viewing, many young people regard the agent's circle of friends as a "tourist attraction" when they are not at work.

“there is no need to fight monsters to upgrade, no need to spend money, and new maps can be opened every day. there is no more affordable real-life vr game than this. "

at first, most young people looked at houses to see the world and do research. later, after looking at houses more often, some young people directly saved money on rent painlessly.

the rent in monica, hupiao, was originally 6,000 yuan a month. after often viewing the house with an agent, i learned, "a junior high school campus next door recently moved out, and the average rental price in this area has dropped by several hundred yuan. i used this reason to go to the landlord." negotiate and save thousands of dollars a year when renewing the contract.”

some people used to think that house viewing was a niche hobby, but later they discovered that their colleagues would visit houses more or less once every month or two.

"renting and buying a house are quite complicated things. no one can figure out all the tricks in one or two times. although it doesn't guarantee that you will be able to live in the house of your dreams if you look at the house more often, at least you can avoid a lot of pitfalls.”

many young people have advanced their life experience by looking at houses. “as soon as you enter the house, you will check whether it is newly renovated, whether there is a formaldehyde smell, and whether the water supply and electricity are available. during the day, check whether the outside view is blocked, and at dusk, check whether the cooking is done. there is no oil fume. if you have time, go check out the house more often. at least you won’t live in a string house in a daze.”

some young people who regard house-viewing as a hobby also managed to calm down their emotions. “when i used to work, i always felt that part-time work was not fulfilling. i felt that the house must be very expensive and not something i could consider. later i discovered that some locations and house types only cost a lot. after working hard for several years and saving up, i can get a car without any pain.，i started to draw my own cakes and became more motivated to go to work. "

"and the most amazing thing is that no matter how tired you are from work or how confused you are about the future, agents will always be the most optimistic about your future."

"when i go out with friends and talk about work, i get frustrated, and the agency will say, 'it's just a part-time job to earn some money. if we make more, we will live in a villa, and if we make less, we will live in a small house. anyway, we will always have a destination.' it feels better than psychological counseling works well.”

the worker never expected at first that after being in the real estate industry for a long time, some of his skills would even benefit the workplace. "selecting a house is a matter of both necessity and necessity. it is very similar to the work content that your boss usually assigns to you. so if you understand the house selection, you can deal with it indifferently no matter how troublesome the multi-threaded work is at work."

"meeting more different types of intermediaries can also improve your workplace negotiation skills through battles of wits and courage. buying a house is often a psychological battle. if you don't have the confidence, the other party will offer a high price. if you are stubborn, the price of the garage can be negotiated, and the price of home appliances can be negotiated. , the area can be given away, especially like bargaining chips with customers. ”

young people who have seen a lot of the world through house inspections have unknowingly accumulated conversational tips.

"you can chat with your colleagues about which brand of milk tea has come out, or you can chat with your boss and clients about houses worth tens of millions. not only can you expand your social limit, but you can also unknowingly establish a low-key, knowledgeable and knowledgeable person. money, wealth and personality make others think you are not easy to deal with.”

some couples with advanced concepts have already regarded the sales office as a new dating spot.

"going to ikea is just a small test of your skills, but going to the sales office is the emotional alchemy stone. you can take a couple's tacit understanding test without spending a penny, and you can instantly see each other's behavior and decoration taste, and discuss your imagination of the future house together." the reliable ones can be locked up directly, and the unreliable ones can break up with dignity even if they have a fruit plate.”

there are also some young people who regard house watching as a hobby, and they are really moved when they look at it. beipiao mango had never thought about buying a house before, but after living in beijing for a few years, he suddenly wanted to have his own house.

"living in a shared apartment is very inconvenient. if you want to rent out a whole apartment, most of the apartments in the city are old and shabby apartments with very old decoration. living in the suburbs is a long way to commute. i really want to renovate a room and have a small home of my own."

before buying a house, she spent a year or two wandering around in her favorite area. “going crazy and looking at houses is actually giving myself a cooling-off period when buying a house.”

"a friend in my hometown bought a house before. when i got married, my family urged me to buy a house. they didn't understand many things, and the agent was always hungry for sales. as a result, i spent a lot of money and bought a house with many features."

"but to be honest, spending millions to buy a house is the biggest project in life for young people in the foreseeable future. how can they make a quick decision? for workers, buying a house is just a mathematical problem. , and looking at houses is to accumulate formulas to solve this math problem more intelligently, so that every penny earned from part-time work can be spent wisely. "

monica said that for her, house viewing is both a study and an opportunity to open up new horizons.

"everyone surfs the internet a lot, and it is inevitable that they will fall into an information cocoon made of algorithms. they read the same note titles every day, share the same fast fashion outfits, and live in homes decorated in the same style. after a long time, you will get bored the feeling is eroded, and i feel like i am almost a boy or a girl.”

therefore, for migrant workers, house viewing is also an opportunity to escape from the established life and experience a real version of the sims life.

"the keyhole of every house is like a kaleidoscope. through the decoration style, furniture style, and layout ideas of other people's homes, you can observe another person's personality, hobbies, and aesthetics from the side, and deduce the landlord's life script. . if you step into it, you can unlock a less popular but unique life experience.”
