问题 "New Price"; "Just Reduced"; "Priced to Sell". Once unheard of, these tags are cropping up ever more often in the property sections of America’s newspapers. They denote a shift that is becoming clearer in the national statistics, too: the fizz is going out of the once-bubbly housing market. Compared with last year, inventories of unsold houses are up and the pace of sales is down. Prices have slowed and in some areas have even fallen.
Residential construction now makes up more than 6% of GDP. This suggests that a 10% drop would shave some 0.6 percentage points off economic growth. A bigger question, however, is how slower prices might affect consumer spending. Experts expect that America’s house prices will have stopped rising by the end of the year. Mainly because a flat market will put a brake on residential building, this is expected to reduce GDP growth by about 1.5 percentage points. "Just Reduced" might soon be a fitting label for the whole economy.

选项

答案 “优惠价”，“最新低价”，“减价销售”，这些不曾在房产行业出现的广告语如今越来越多地在美国各大报纸的房地产版面频繁出现。这些都标志着形势的转变，这种转变在国家数据统计中也日趋明显地表现出来。一度繁荣的房产市场正在降温。与去年相比，未出售的房产数量有所上升，而销售速度下滑了。价格不再上涨，在有些地区甚至下跌了。
居民住宅的建设占了国民生产总值的6%，这意味着其10%的下降会导致经济增长下降0.6个百分点。然而，更大的问题在于跌价是否会影响消费。专家预测美国的房产价格会在年底停止上涨。公寓市场会停止住房建造，据此预测，这些会使国民生产总值增长下降1.5个百分点。“最新低价”或许很快会成为整个经济的标志了。
