Condition for affordable housing from the president of the union of real estate consultants
President of the Union of Real Estate Advisors: A large part of vacant homes belong to banks, the housing market has slumped due to rising prices and people can not enter.
According to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, Mostafa Gholi Khosravi stated: The law on tax on vacant houses was approved in 1394, the infrastructure of which was not provided, but we hope to see the implementation of this law seriously with a new plan planned by the government and parliament; Because this tax base is implemented in many countries of the world and has answered.
He added: "However, I believe that ordinary people do not keep their homes empty. Some people may have two or three or more apartments that they have rented and no one is keeping their capital unused. A large part of the two and a half million vacant houses in the country belong to the organs, organizations and banks for which the law must be implemented without any waiver.
Khosravi said about the tax coefficients set at half the amount of rent in the second year, equivalent to rent in the third year and one and a half times the rent in the fourth year for vacant units: "Anyway, this plan was designed by experts and economists, but in my opinion should not be Step by step, but from the first year, implement the coefficients of the last year.
"The market is sluggish and whenever such a situation arises, it is to the detriment of real estate consultants," said the head of the union of real estate consultants, referring to the decline in transactions in recent weeks. The customer can not afford to buy and most members of the class are dissatisfied with the current situation. A number of union members who pay heavy rents are revoking their licenses, and this unemployment is reaching the body of society. We hope that with the recent plans, including the tax on vacant houses, we will see the prosperity of the housing market and the balance of supply and demand.
Khosravi said that one of the reasons for the increase in prices in unproductive markets is the moment-to-moment announcement of prices on websites and said: "Virtual media that constantly announce the dollar, coin and stock exchange rates are fueling the price of all goods, including housing." That people do not know whether to buy a house or not. I advise real applicants to buy.
In response to the question whether the price of housing will be cheaper or not, Khosravi reminded: the cheapening of housing depends on a big event. At the time of the resolution, 580 people were buying gold, dollars and housing. Some also bought a house in Dubai and did not listen to what we said, after the resolution was issued, many of these people had a stroke and went to God's mercy.
The head of the real estate union also stressed the need to control the price of materials, stating that more than eighty-five percent of construction materials are domestically produced, and continued: "If inflation does not reach the housing market in terms of construction inputs, prices will stabilize."
Khosravi announced the imminent meeting of real estate consultants with the Presidium of the Islamic Consultative Assembly and said: "Fortunately, Mr. Qalibaf, Chairman and members of the Presidium of the Assembly, have good views in the field of housing and are scheduled to accompany a number of real estate consultants from across the country." In the near future, we will have a meeting with the presidium of the parliament so that we may be able to remove a small burden from the housing market with a consensus.
He considered the plan to build one million houses per year, which is being considered by the parliament, appropriate and noted: housing production is always necessary for the country and the constitution emphasizes the provision of suitable housing for the people, so it is clear that Let's build a house; Especially in the last seven years, we are facing a housing deficit of about seven million due to the recession in the construction sector.
