Homebuyers nationwide are watching housing prices go up, up, and up. “How high can they go ?” is the common question that    46    in the city is asking. But right now, few people seem to have the answer.  “    47    interest rates(利率) stay at about 5 percent, there’s  no way of knowing,”, said a local Guangzhou economist.
“It’s crazy,” said Li Hua, who is    48    a house near the river. “In 1993, I bought my first place, a two-bedroom apartment in Haizhu district, for 100,000 yuan. My friends thought that I was overpaying and said it just wasn’t worth it. Five years later , I had to move to Shenzhen. I   49    it for 160,000 yuan, which was nice profit. Last year, while    50    friends here, I saw in the local paper that exact same    51    was for sale for 450,000 yuan!”
It is a seller’s    52    . Homebuyers feel like they have to offer at least 10 percent more than the asking price just to have a chance. Li Hua says the situation is really diffcult. “Whether you decide to buy or decide not to buy, you still feel like you made the    53    decision. If you buy, you feel like you overpaid. If you don’t buy, you want to kick yourself for passing up a great    54    .”
Everyone says prices must fall, but everyone hopes it will happen the day after they sell their house.   55    government officials have no idea what the future will bring. “All we can say is that these things change,” said the state director of housing.  “What goes up must come down.”
