Sounds very exciting that the championships go on, and the monks still visit, looks like there's still life left in American kung fu scene. Do you think the magazine will ever go back to print format?

[GeneChing]

We've talked about doing special issues, but I'm skeptical that'll actually ever happen.

Print magazine publishing has been dying the death of a thousand cuts. For a niche mag like us, it was unsustainable.

加州地產經紀協會(CAR)最新
數據顯示，灣區九縣3月房價中位
數漲至139萬元，比去年同期激增
15.5%，漲幅居全州第一，重回兩
年前水平，令想要置產的買家進一
步舉步維艱。
《三藩市紀事報》指出，從2022
年秋季以來，聯邦儲備局因應通脹
大幅升息，衝擊房屋買賣活動，最
新數字反映房價已收復過去兩年的
失地。
灣區核心區五大縣3月房價中
位數全面上漲。房價中位數最高是
聖馬刁縣，高達217萬元，其他依
次為190萬元的聖他克拉縣、175萬
元的三藩市、140萬元的阿拉美達
縣和89萬元的康特拉科斯特縣。
灣區地產經紀協會(BayEast)發
言人史塔克(David Stark)指出，灣
區買家意識到等待房價下降已經沒
有意義，「整體而言，我們正在面
對非常強勁的房價上升」。
市場房屋庫存下降，加上現時
房貸利率維持7%以上，令疫情期
間獲低至3%利率房貸的潛在賣家
只好留在原地。即使房屋掛牌出
售，買家也可能陷入競價戰。
普遍缺乏供應導致灣區九縣
買賣個案減少，3月成交年比銳減
5.4%。康縣降幅達21%位居第一，
低庫存促使該縣房價中位數上漲
9.5%。
對買家而言，高房價和高利率
是雙重打擊，令置產夢更遙不可
及。雖然一些經濟學家預測下半年
可能會降息，但最近幾周強過預期
的通脹，可能意味聯儲局將會保持
現有水平，而房貸利率往往都是跟
隨利率的變動。
有地產經紀認為，買家之間存
在激烈競爭，一些通常較慢的冬季
房屋買賣季節被壓抑的需求重新湧
現，而且房價上漲速度比降息速度
還要快，所以高利率下仍積極找房

全國地產經紀協會(NAR)同意
取消地產經紀佣金限制後造成的不
穩定性，似乎對市場並沒影響。
