According to a survey by the U.S.-based consulting firm Demographia International, Hong Kong property, available at 11.4 times the gross median annual household income, is the most unaffordable in the world.

美國一家顧問公司公布最新調(diào)查顯示，去年香港的樓價相當(dāng)于家庭年收入中位數(shù)的11.4倍，屬于“極難負擔(dān)”水平，亦是報告調(diào)查的全球325個城市中最高。

日內(nèi)瓦在瑞士算不上大城市，目前，那里的住房市場供需比約為1:5。房價猛漲的原因一方面是因為日內(nèi)瓦市中心不允許有超過8層樓高的建筑，另一方面日益膨脹的人口也加劇了這個現(xiàn)狀。
