由于國有土地的使用限制阻礙了資金周轉，越來越多的房地產開發(fā)商們開始降低房價，中國主要城市的房價在十月份仍在持續(xù)下降，這種情況已經持續(xù)了兩個月。

請看相關英文報道：

Home prices in major Chinese cities fell for a second month in October, with more developers cutting prices as government property curbs crimped their cash flow.

【解析】

上述報道中的"home prices"就是“房價”的意思，而一般直譯出來的"house prices"也常被用來指房價，此外，還可以用"housing prices"。

例句：

After a year of record mortgage foreclosures and slumping home prices, Americans are more determined to shape up their flabby finances in 2008 than their bodies, according to a study released by Countrywide Bank on Tuesday.
美國全國銀行于本周二公布的一項調查顯示，在經歷了今年的次貸危機和房價大跳水后，美國人2008年最大的新年愿望就是“財務健康”，其次是“身體健康”。

Unlike share prices, house prices rarely plunge in nominal terms.
和股價不一樣，名義房價鮮有下降。

China's housing prices are higher than the United States?
中國的房價高于美國？
