H: Monica, I heard you're trying to buy a new house, is that true?
M: yes, but seeing the ever-rising prices, I'm afraid I'll never be able to afford one.
H: oh, that's definitely a problem for most of us wage-earners.
M: houses are ridiculously expensive these days.
H: what about second-hand houses?
M: I've been looking but they're not much cheaper and I don't think it's worth all the problems of an older house.
H: do you think the government will take some steps to cool down the overheated real estate market?
M: maybe. But I don't think it will make any difference. The demand is too high.
H: so what's your budget like?
M: I'm thinking between 3,000 yuan and 7,000 yuan per square meter.
H: oh, I see. In that case, you need to wait a while.
M: but I'm afraid it will go from bad to worse. I can't help being worried.
H: take it easy. I heard there may be a "bubble" in the real estate market.
M: you mean it will burst sooner or later.
H: yes, the house prices have already gone down in Shenzhen and Shanghai.
M: that's true. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.
