财经：全球房价，楼市过热
Valuations in globalised cities are rising much faster than in their hinterlands.
全球化城市的估价比其腹地增价快。
GLOBALISATION has created a handful of metropolises1 that attract people, capital and ideas from all over the world, almost irrespective of how their national economy is doing.
全球化创建了几个大都市。不管它们所在国家的经济状况如何，这些大都市都吸引着全世界的人们、资本和理念。
House prices in such places, unsurprisingly, outpace the national average.
这些地方的房价高于本国平均水平也是意料之中。
In our latest round-up of global housing, we find that prices have risen in 20 of the 26 countries we track over the past year, at an (unweighted) average pace of 5.1% after adjusting for inflation.
在最新一期关于全球住房的报道中，我们发现在去年追踪的26个国家当中，20个国家的房价在消除通货膨胀后以5.1%的平均增速（未加权）增长。

In these cities, house prices have risen at an average pace of 6.5% a year over the past three years (again, unweighted) , compared with a national average rise of just 3.2%.

太平洋沿岸的4个城市-旧金山、温哥华、悉尼以及上海的房价每年增长12%，是全国平均增速的两倍。
The supply of housing is rather inelastic, so in the short term house-price inflation is driven more by demand factors, such as the number of households, disposable income, interest rates and the yield available on other assets.
房屋供给缺乏弹性，所以短期内家庭数量、可支配收入、利率以及营业外资产收益等需求因素会更多地推动房价高涨。
In recent years all of these have helped to push house prices steadily2 upwards3, especially in big cities.
近年来，这些因素推动房价稳步上升，尤其在大城市现象更加明显。
In the conurbations in question, the number of households is rising fast as hordes4 of ambitious millennials pour in.

苏黎世40%的居民都不是在瑞士出生的；44%居民年龄在20岁到44岁之间。
The boom towns also have tight labour markets and therefore relatively5 high income growth: the unemployment rate in San Francisco and Stockholm is around a percentage-point lower than the national averages.
这些急速发展的城市劳动市场较紧缺，因而收入增长较高。旧金山和斯德哥尔摩的失业率低于全国平均水平一个百分点。
