Chapter 197: Perfect place for your family of five!
Since the millennium, Xuanzhu City has entered an important time node in urban development. Due to its unique geographical location and marine resource advantages, it has also become an important link between the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone and other regions.
Including many fields such as fisheries, shipping, tourism, as well as the marine industrial system under construction and the upgrading and transformation of traditional industries, this little-known small city has also reaped the dividends brought by the development of the times.
As ordinary people, the most obvious feeling is the increase and change in housing prices.
The needs of food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, medical care, employment, etc. are closely related to everyone's life. It is a pity that not everyone can seize the opportunities brought by the reform.
At the beginning of 2003, the average housing price in Xuanzhu City was only around to yuan. The best location was the Lujiao Street area, where the housing price was around yuan. The average price of Luerfu Community was over yuan, which was even considered a sky-high price at that time.
Guihua Road, which is not far from Lujiao Street, is a newly developed area and is not attracting much attention from the public at present. The housing prices are also much cheaper than those in Lujiao Street, with the average price being around 1,900 to 2,100 yuan.
Perhaps many people could not imagine that in the next twenty years, housing prices in the Guihua Road area would increase the fastest. The average price of some good properties in the area could reach 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, an increase of nearly ten times.
Ultimately, it is because of the transfer of the city’s core industries. As the new city center of the future, the housing prices in Guihua Road will naturally rise.
People are always good at finding patterns in history, but such patterns are actually difficult to accurately predict the future. Everyone knows that buying a house in the core area of the city center is more valuable, but who can tell whether such a center will shift?
Of course, there will also be far-sighted and precise investors who, through information asymmetry or research, know where new transportation routes will be opened, such as various public transportation, etc., or know which areas industries such as new office buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, schools, etc. will cover. When all these factors are in place, this area will naturally become the new city core.
However, Fang Wei doesn't need to bother predicting, because he knows, and knowing is knowing.
In the bright sunshine of a winter morning, a real estate salesman in a cheap suit, holding documents in his hand, led Fang Xianfeng and three others into the community.
"Mr. Fang, it is absolutely the right choice for you to consider buying a house on Guihua Road! You see, our area is a newly developed community. Whether it is the environment in the community or the design of the house, it will definitely not be outdated in another 20 years!"
"Your three children are probably going to high school soon, right? Our neighborhood is very close to No. 1 Middle School. Turning around from here and taking the small path, it'll only take 20 minutes to get there. It's even faster to ride a bike!"
"A kindergarten will be built here next year, and the new campus of the Central Hospital is also planned to be relocated here. There are also plans to build a super-class A office building on Guihua Road as a landmark building in the city! The scenery is also very good, and a new citizen park will be built there..."
The sales manager spoke in a very exaggerated way, as if if you didn't place an order now, you would miss it.
Fang Wei found it funny. He guessed that if he were in another area, the sales manager would say the same thing. It would be hard for others to tell whether what he said was true or false.
It's hard to be a sales manager! Fortunately, selling houses is not that difficult these days. If houses can't be sold one day, these real estate salesmen would probably want to go to the construction site themselves and build a subway line near the property.
"Brother Wang, I haven't seen what you are talking about. It doesn't sound reliable." Fang Wei said with a smile.
"It's a plan! If this is really done, Mr. Fang, do you think the housing prices will still be the same as they are now?"
Manager Wang also laughed and said that even though he boasted so much, he actually had no idea what he was doing.
Fang Wei did not expose him. No matter what, it was true that this area would become the new city center in the future.
Fang Xianfeng didn't understand any of this, but when he heard Manager Wang speak in such a serious tone, the old man became interested.
Fang Wei was originally planning to buy a house here, so he won't say anything about him. In fact, most of the home buyers are like this. They either buy because they have an urgent need to buy, or they buy it because they were advised blindly, and then they get the benefits without knowing it. This is luck.
But you must never take such luck as a sign of good vision, otherwise the money you earn will be spit out sooner or later.
"What do you think of the environment of this community?" Fang Xianfeng turned around and asked Fang Wei and the other two with a smile.
"The environment is quite good, and there are some supporting facilities." Fang Wei nodded.
“It feels so beautiful!”
Xu Cailing felt like she was visiting the Grand View Garden. Compared to the living environment in the village, the environment of the community was quite exquisite, which was in line with the girl's imagination of the houses where "city people" lived.
After all, it is a new community, which was only completed and delivered at the end of last year. Both the greening and the overall structural layout are good.
Manager Wang also introduced with a smile: "Our community is also the best and most upscale community on Guihua Road, and the houses are also very popular! Mr. Fang, this way, I will take you upstairs to have a look!"
Just now in the sales office, a few people simply looked for the floors and locations they liked, and now they went straight to the 16th floor of Building 3.
This newly built residential building is quite tall, with a total of twenty-six floors. There are three elevators on each floor, one that stops at all floors, one that stops at odd numbers, and one that stops at even numbers. The elevators can also be used during peak hours.
The four of them followed Manager Wang into the elevator. Manager Wang was very considerate and helped hold the elevator door. After everyone came in, he pressed the button for the 16th floor.
The elevator went up smoothly and quickly. Fang Xianfeng, who was not used to taking elevators, felt his ears buzzing.
Although this customer looks very rustic, Manager Wang knows that such customers are often the most willing to buy a house. In the words of later generations, they are local tyrants! Of course, he must provide good service.
Going up to the 1603th floor, they came to Room . Manager Wang took out the key, opened the door and let Fang Xianfeng and the other three in.
The house has not been decorated yet, so what we need to consider are factors such as the layout and lighting.
The suite has an area of 125 square meters, which is considered a large room.
"Mr. Fang, do you think this layout is satisfactory? Four bedrooms and two living rooms are perfect for your family of five! The lighting is also good! The entrance is our living room, and this one is the master bedroom. There are three more rooms over here, so your two daughters and son can each have a room!"
Because Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi came together to view the house, Manager Wang naturally treated them as a family.
Fang Xianfeng and Fang Wei did not explain, and Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi did not explain either. Instead, they seemed to be very pleased with the misunderstanding.
The undecorated house was not attractive to the two girls, so they ran straight to the balcony and looked at the scenery outside.
At a height of sixteen floors, the field of vision can extend to very far places, especially in small cities where there are generally no tall buildings. At a glance, the entire area can be seen.
The sun is shining brightly in winter, and the slanting light shines into the house through the windows and balconies. Even without turning on the lights, the house appears very bright.
"Wow! Fang Wei, Fang Wei!" "Huh?"
Fang Wei was taking a tape measure to simply measure and inspect the house.
"Come and see! You can see No. 1 Middle School from here!"
"..."
Fang Wei walked over to take a look. From this direction, he could indeed see No. 1 Middle School not far away. It was very close and could be reached in 20 minutes on foot, and even faster by bike.
"It's so high...even higher than the last hotel we stayed in..."
Liu Zhiyi's house in Shanghai was only on the ninth floor. The two girls lay on the balcony, looking down at the neighborhood below. They felt that the pedestrians below had become tiny. They even felt a little dizzy after looking down for too long.
"It's okay, it's just the sixteenth floor."
Fang Wei smiled. The highest floor he had been to before was the 40th floor where he worked. The lighting, ventilation and view on the upper floors were unparalleled. The only thing was that it was annoying to wait for the elevator when going to and from work.
After looking at the living room, Fang Wei went to look at the four rooms. The master bedroom was obviously much larger than the three secondary bedrooms. If this apartment was to be used for personal use, the master bedroom would definitely be reserved for his parents.
The layout of the second bedroom is also good. There is more than enough space for a large bed of meters by meters.
Except for the load-bearing walls that cannot be demolished, some simple structures can still be personalized through decoration. Overall, Fang Wei is quite satisfied with this room.
After all, the two girls were not real daughters, and they did not have their own rooms, but they still couldn't help but be curious and looked at every room.
"Fang Wei, are you going to live in this room when the time comes?"
"…We haven't bought a house yet, so we should look at a few more houses first. What do you two think of this one?"
"Yeah, good!"
The two girls nodded like chicks pecking at rice, but were too embarrassed to give any opinions.
"I think it's a good idea too. Let's see what my dad thinks later. If we plan to buy this apartment, I'll probably keep it for our own use. It's also close to No. 1 Middle School. Then we can both go to day school and don't have to live on campus. You two can also choose a room to live in."
"hey-hey……"
Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi neither agreed nor objected, they just smiled reservedly, but still couldn't help but look forward to it.
On the other side, Fang Xianfeng also finished looking at the house under the introduction of Manager Wang.
Overall, he was quite satisfied with the house, but one has to pick and choose before buying groceries. How can one make a decision so easily when buying a house? The old man managed his expression quite well. After all, he was a businessman who was good at business. He would not place an order easily without getting some benefits.
Manager Wang became more conflicted, and for a moment he couldn't accurately judge Fang Xianfeng's intentions.
"Look at a few more houses. What about other house types in your community? Take me to have a look first."
"Of course no problem! Mr. Fang, please come this way!"
……
Fang Wei and his three friends spent the entire morning looking at houses in Jingui Community. At noon, the family even had a free lunch at the sales office.
Fang Wei and his three companions went house-hunting again in the afternoon. They looked at houses in the surrounding communities and shops, and basically had a general idea of the situation.
The father and the daughter were exhausted, but the two girls still looked full of energy. It turned out that when it comes to shopping, women's physical strength is always a mystery...
"Brother, if you go home and think it over, please remember to call me...!"
Manager Wang accompanied the four people shopping for a whole day, and his voice became a little hoarse. It is not easy to earn some money and buy a house for yourself!
"Haha, of course! Manager Wang, don't worry! You can see that I really want to buy it, but this discount you have..."
"Brother, I will try my best to apply for you! I will never let you suffer any loss, okay!"
"Okay, thank you, Manager Wang."
"Of course I should, of course I should, take care, bro~!"
After returning home, Fang Wei and his family held another family meeting that night. They chose some suitable targets based on the houses and shops they had viewed today. Fang Wei also helped calculate the expenses, etc.
The next morning, Fang Wei's family came to the city again. Cailing and Zhiyi didn't come today, but mom came.
Manager Wang accompanied Fang Wei and his family for another whole day of shopping, and they had lunch at the sales office at noon...
It was not until the fifth day, when Manager Wang was almost exhausted, that Fang Wei and his family came with money. Based on the quotation he gave yesterday, they booked two houses in Jingui Community and four shops on Guihua Road in one go.
"elder brother……"
Manager Wang was so excited that he was speechless. After signing the contract, he held Fang Xianfeng's hand for a long time and was reluctant to let go.
"Brother, please give me the honor of having a good meal with your family at noon today!"
"Haha, no need. I think the food in the sales office is pretty good too..."
