Billionaires have been on a real estate buying spree. Stateside, they’ve broken records on huge home purchases in every major housing market from Woodside to Malibu to Aspen to Chicago to Miami to New York. And internationally, massive sales in London, Singapore and Hong Kong have garnered worldwide attention. 亿万富豪们掀起了一股购买房产的狂潮。在美国，从伍德赛德、马里布、阿斯彭、芝加哥、迈阿密到纽约，他们在各个主要的住宅市场上打破了一个又一个豪宅购买纪录。国际上，伦敦、新加坡和香港房地产市场的火爆销售情况吸引了全球的关注。 “Global billionaire activity in world real estate markets has been so intense over the last seven years that it has led to a doubling of property values in this sector, ” says Savills, a global real estate firm, in its annual World Cities Review report. The report found that major cities’ super luxury housing markets, referred to as ‘billionaire markets’, have grown at a much faster clip than mainstream markets of the same cities. The largest value increases have been clocked in China and Asia, thanks to the emergence of new wealthy classes and rising commodity prices. “过去7年来，各国亿万富豪在全球豪宅市场中的表现如此活跃，致使这一领域的房产价格翻了一倍。”全球知名的房地产公司第一太平戴维斯（Savills）在其发布的《全球城市回顾》（World Cities Review）年度报告中表示。该报告发现，主要城市的超级豪华住宅市场，即“亿万富豪市场”的发展速度大大超过了同一城市中主流住宅市场的发展速度。价格上涨最快的地区为中国和亚洲，原因是这些地区新晋富人阶层的兴起以及商品价格的上升。 |
