Wondering whether to sell your home -- and when? Put away the tea leaves and star charts. And while you’re at it, pack up the conventional wisdom. The good news for sellers is the nation as a whole has seen a sizzling real estate market over the last several years. From the third quarter of 1999 to the third quarter of 2004, American home prices increased more than 48 percent, accord- ing to the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight.
The bad news is that things are a little more complicated than "buy low, sell high." And while tradition has it that spring is the best time of year to market a piece of property, that’s not true in every locale. Throw in the fact that the old cycles have been thrown off by a tight housing market, and it’s enough to make a homeowner’s head spin.
"It’s a good time to sell your home," says Theodore Kaplan, who specializes in real estate at the Manhattan law firm Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer, "if you have another place to go." It is tempting to cash out of a home and realize the gains of the past several years. But it’s a risky proposition un- less you are downsizing your residence or moving from a very expensive market, such as New York City, to a less pricey one, such as Atlanta. Otherwise, you will end up spending just as much--if not more--on new digs. In Manhattan or Las Vegas, for example, real estate prices can increase in a blink.
"The market is moving much faster than data can be collected," says Jacky Teplitzky, an executive vice president at New York -based Douglas Elliman. "For prices, you can’t even look at what’s sold--you have to look at what’s in contract right now."
When it comes to annual home sales cycles, the slowest months of the year are typically January and February, since fewer deals are made over the holidays, explains Walt Molony, spokesman for the National Association of Realtors, an industry organization based in Washington, D.C. A peak in June reflects the fact that many people want to move in between school years.
In the second paragraph, by saying "...it is enough to make homeowner’s head spin.", the au- thor is suggesting that _________.
选项
A、it is enough to make them think hard
B、it is enough to spin their head
C、it is enough to rotate their head
D、it is enough to make them feel headache
答案
D
解析
推理题。第二段最后一句话“Throw in the fact that the old cycles have been thrown off by a tight housing market,and it’s enough to make a homeowner’s head spin.”的意思是:还有一个事实,那就是原有的房屋买卖周期因为房屋市场紧缩而改变了,这些就足以让房主们伤脑筋。所以正确答案是D。
