How to use 房价
房价 is the standard word in news and everyday talk about the housing market, often with verbs like 涨 (zhǎng, rise) and 降 (jiàng, fall). Example: 北京的房价很高。(Běijīng de fángjià hěn gāo.) Housing prices in Beijing are very high.
Put 房 (fáng, house) and 价 (jià, price) together and you get the price of a house. Think of 房子 (fángzi) and 价格 (jiàgé) sharing one word.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes say 房价很贵, but 房价 is already a price, so Chinese prefers 房价很高 (high) rather than 贵 (expensive). Also watch the tones: fáng is second tone and jià is fourth tone.
