房价

fángjià · HSK 6

house

🏠💰 房 (house) + 价 (price) = house price

房 means house or room; 价 means price or value. Together 房价 literally reads as house-price, the standard term for property/apartment purchase prices in Chinese real-estate talk.

价 — person radical 亻 + 介 (jiè)
价 is the simplified form of 價. The traditional form combines 亻 (person) with 賈 (merchant), pointing to the act of pricing goods. In the simplified version, 賈 was replaced by the phonetic 介, which hints at the 'jià' reading while keeping the 'person' radical for the trading sense.
