房奴世界波:上海排全球豪宅价格最贵城市第七

Billionaires have been on a real estate buying spree. Stateside, they’ve broken records on huge home purchases in every major housing market from Woodside to Malibu to Aspen to Chicago to Miami to New York. And internationally, massive sales in London, Singapore and Hong Kong have garnered worldwide attention.
亿万富豪们掀起了一股购买房产的狂潮。在美国，从伍德赛德、马里布、阿斯彭、芝加哥、迈阿密到纽约，他们在各个主要的住宅市场上打破了一个又一个豪宅购买纪录。国际上，伦敦、新加坡和香港房地产市场的火爆销售情况吸引了全球的关注。

“Global billionaire activity in world real estate markets has been so intense over the last seven years that it has led to a doubling of property values in this sector, ” says Savills, a global real estate firm, in its annual World Cities Review report. The report found that major cities’ super luxury housing markets, referred to as ‘billionaire markets’, have grown at a much faster clip than mainstream markets of the same cities. The largest value increases have been clocked in China and Asia, thanks to the emergence of new wealthy classes and rising commodity prices.
“过去7年来，各国亿万富豪在全球豪宅市场中的表现如此活跃，致使这一领域的房产价格翻了一倍。”全球知名的房地产公司第一太平戴维斯（Savills）在其发布的《全球城市回顾》（World Cities Review）年度报告中表示。该报告发现，主要城市的超级豪华住宅市场，即“亿万富豪市场”的发展速度大大超过了同一城市中主流住宅市场的发展速度。价格上涨最快的地区为中国和亚洲，原因是这些地区新晋富人阶层的兴起以及商品价格的上升。

The city peddling the most expensive luxury real estate on the planet is Hong Kong. Luxury housing on the Chinese island territory averaged £7, 200 per square foot, or nearly $11, 000 per square foot, in 2012. The average property size of a local “billionaire property” on the island is 5, 200 square feet, making the average luxury home valued at more than $57 million. The record for the city’s most expensive deal is held by a house on Deep Water Bay Road that fetched £8, 200 (or about $13, 000 at the time of sale) per square foot in 2011.
全球豪宅价格最贵的城市非香港莫属。2012年，这座由中国管辖的岛屿城市中，豪宅的平均价格为每平方英尺7,200英镑（约合1.1万美元）。香港本地“亿万富豪房产”的平均面积为5,200平方英尺，平均每套房产的价值超过了5,700万美元。这座城市里最贵的房产交易纪录由2011年位于深水湾道的一处住宅创造，成交价为每平方英尺8,200英镑（出售时约合1.3万美元）。

The second priciest place for high-end homes is actually another Asian city: Tokyo. Average home size in Japan‘s capital city is an expansive 16, 000 square feet, for an average £5, 000 (or $7, 600) per square foot. In other words an opulent mansion-sized home in Tokyo totes a market value of $121.6 million.
高档住宅价格第二贵的地区是另一个亚洲城市：日本首都东京，平均住宅面积达到了奢侈的1.6万平方英尺，平均价格为每平方英尺5,000英镑（约合7,600美元）。换句话说，东京一套宽敞气派的豪宅的市场价格为1.216亿美元。
