The development of Beijing has left a bubble economy in housing construction as more people move into the city. This bubble economy has arisen because the Chinese people are now beginning to enjoy economic freedom and their spending power has increased. This can be seen in the increase in construction of new apartment buildings. Many of these buildings already have their apartments sold and are only waiting to be completed. People buy uncompleted apartments mainly because the price will be lower, as the builders already have guaranteed profit. Many things can inhibit the price of a house. If a new apartment block is surrounded by too much low-cost housing, this will surely affect the price of the house or apartment. Developers trying to combat this are buying up large areas with low-cost housing in an attempt to beautify the area around new construction. This makes it easier for real estate agencies to sell, because of a more attractive location. These new apartments are usually quite expensive, which keeps many people from enjoying them. Because of this, secondhand apartments are also seeing new life. Despite the rate of construction, the demand is low because the price is too high. To solve this problem, the government is working to lower the high cost of housing.

随着越来越多的人涌进城市，北京的发展导致了房地产市场泡沫经济的出现。这种泡沫经济产生的原因是中国人现在开始享受经济自由，而且他们的消费能力也有所提高。这在新建楼盘的增加中可见一斑。很多楼盘的公寓早已售完，只等工程竣工。这些公寓之所以会以这种形式卖出是因为它们的价格相对较低。许多因素都会抑制房价。如果一个新公寓区的周围满是价格低廉的房屋，无疑这将影响到公寓或房子的价格。想要克服这些因素的开发商购买大面积的低价房屋区，试图美化新建筑的周边环境。对房地产公司来说吸引人的位置楼盘会更容易销售。这些新建成的公寓价格通常很高，使得很多人对其望而却步。正因如此，二手房看到了新生市场的前景。尽管建设的速度很快，但因价格过高，需求较低。为了解决这一问题，政府正在努力削减房屋的高造价。
