Whether buying a single apartment was cost-effective or not required a comprehensive consideration of many factors. From the perspective of the cost of purchase, the total price of a single apartment was relatively low. The down payment might only be tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. It was easier for people who did not have enough money to start. If you compare renting a house with buying a house, if the monthly rental fee is higher, buying a single apartment in the long run can save rental costs and have your own residence. In terms of living experience, some single apartments were located in a better business district, which was convenient for eating and drinking. Some loft apartments could be flexibly arranged to meet the diverse living needs of young people and had a higher living comfort. However, from an investment perspective, there were many disadvantages to single apartments. It didn't have a school district attribute and couldn't settle down. It had poor mobility in the second-hand housing market and had high sales taxes. The transaction tax would greatly increase the investment cost, making it difficult to make a profit when reselling. It was basically a situation where it was easy to buy but difficult to sell. Moreover, many apartments were used for both commercial and residential purposes. There was a high turnover of people, and the quality of the residents was uneven, which might affect the living experience. Moreover, renting was more complicated. The tenants changed frequently, and managing the rental affairs might be more cumbersome. At the same time, the cost of living for apartments such as water, electricity, property fees, etc. was relatively high, and most loan policies were not as favorable as residential housing. The down payment required 50%, and the loan period was up to 10 years. The cost of capital use was relatively high. Therefore, whether or not to buy a single apartment should be judged according to personal needs, economic situation, investment purpose, etc. If it was purely self-occupied and did not consider too much investment return, settlement, school district, etc., and could accept a higher cost of living, then buying a single apartment may be cost-effective; However, if there were investment, settlement, children's schooling, etc., buying a single apartment may not be a cost-effective choice.
