Word origin

房价 (fángjià, "house price") combines 房 (fáng, "home") and 价 (jià, "price"), so it covers both one property's price and the market level formed by many such prices.

Usage tips

  • English speakers may expect this noun to name one home only, but everyday Chinese also uses it for the general price level in a city or region.
