How long do you plan to stay in your home? "There are high transaction costs associated with buying and selling a house," says Dean Baker, co-director at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, so home buyers should plan to stay put for at least four to five years.) u1 T# \, q0 g! P
你打算在新买的房子里住多久？经济与政策研究中心(Center for Economic and Policy Research)联席主任迪安·贝克(Dean Baker)说，“买卖房产交易费用很高，”因此如果打算购房的话，至少要打算住个四五年才划算。 9 a4 t: J: n/ `$ N! q* A; a( X' _9 U" Z6 a. J

The reasoning? The costs for buying and then selling a home -- which can include a real-estate agent's fee, a transfer fee, closing costs, and inspector and surveyor fees -- could add up to about 10% of the sale price, or roughly 1½ years worth of rent. 'If you average that over 10 years, it is not that big a deal,' says Mr. Baker. 'But if you average it over, say two years, you're paying an awful lot of money to own a house for a short period of time.'3 E* ? ~- p' ~8 Q0 u& m
原因何在呢？买了房子再卖掉所需的费用──包括房产中介费、过户费、买卖手续费、验房师和估价师的费用──杂七杂八加在一起大约是房价的10%，或者大致相当于一年半的房租。贝克说，“如果你把这个费用分摊到10年，那就不算什么大数目，不过如果要分摊到比如两年，那就意味着，你要为短时间拥有一个房子付出很大的价钱。” + I k1 q8 M7 \7 z+ n9 m. h0 ]/ d ) f; g; r' A8 X. z- A 1 f8 O7 n- }% _7 {0 c) m9 b.

Divide the price of the home by the total cost of rent for one year. If the result is more than 20, 'I'd be very concerned that the price [of the home] might fall more,' says Mr. Baker, and you should consider waiting to buy. If it's 15 or below, he says, 'you're probably reasonably safe' with prices holding steady or growing.6 ^: {; {- j: j" [
贝克认为，如果将房价除以一年的租价得出的结果大于20，“我就会担心房价极有可能还会再跌，”你就应该考虑再观望些时候了。他说，如果结果小于等于15，“买入应该还是相当安全的，”因为房价会保持稳定，甚至还会上升。1 F' j% o# \( k' e8 B% U$ D
