What kind of consumption does buying a house belong to?

1. If you buy a house and live in it, it is a consumer expenditure; If you buy a house for investment, it is an investment expenditure.

2. If you buy a house for self-occupation, then no matter how the house price appreciates and the surrounding land price soars, since it is used for self-occupation, it will not be sold, and it will not have any impact on the family income and expenditure of the buyer, so it can only be counted as consumption expenditure.

If buying a house is for sale, it is certainly an investment behavior. With the change of the value of the house itself, it will bring economic benefits or losses to investors.

1. Social consumption expenditure and investment expenditure belong to purchase expenditure, but there are obvious differences between them. The biggest difference is that the former is unproductive consumption expenditure, and its use does not form any assets. However, they have one thing in common, that is, they are all necessary for the normal operation of social reproduction within the necessary limits. Moreover, in essence, social consumption expenditure meets the pure common needs of society, and it is this kind of expenditure that constitutes the main basis for the existence of this economic phenomenon. Because social consumption expenditure is social, the services it provides can be shared by all citizens, which has obvious external effects. Because of this feature, providing funds to meet the common needs of society and raising funds for this purpose must follow another principle different from that of general commodity exchanges. In the arrangement of financial expenditure, it is the basic duty of financial work to ensure the necessary expenditure of these expenditure items first.

2. Social consumption expenditure is the guarantee for the country to perform its political and social functions. Providing administrative management and social services is the basis of the government's legitimacy and the premise for the government to gain the support and recognition of citizens. A government should not only provide national defense and public safety for its citizens, but also ensure that its territory and sovereignty are not violated by foreign countries and the personal safety of citizens is not threatened. It should also handle and coordinate the relations between citizens through legal, administrative and social management, and maintain normal social and commercial relations. In addition, with the continuous growth of economy, the government must also ensure the corresponding development of various social undertakings, realize the sustainable development of economy and society, expand the space for social development, and continuously improve the quality of life of residents. In order to meet the above social and public needs, many considerable financial expenditure items will inevitably be formed. Among the national financial expenditure items, there are administrative expenditure, national defense expenditure, education, science and health expenditure, etc.
