  According to statistics from the Shell Research Institute, in May, Beijing's second-hand housing transaction volume increased by 39% month-on-month and 75% year-on-year. The actual transaction volume reached its highest level since the "3.17" property market regulation in 2017.

  Beijing's second-hand housing market is "hot", driving up transaction prices. Statistics from the Shell Research Institute show that in May, the average transaction price of second-hand housing in Beijing was 62,609 yuan per square meter (RMB, the same below), a significant increase month-on-month.

  The industry believes that the main reason for the increase in the volume of second-hand housing in Beijing in May is that the epidemic prevention and control have become normalized, consumers have returned to normal homes and houses, and the backlog of market demand has gradually been released. In addition, the adjustment of the admission policy of Xicheng District has driven the demand for housing purchases in Xicheng District and other areas of the city to be concentrated into the market in advance.

  On April 30, Beijing’s Xicheng District released its admission policy for this year’s compulsory education stage. One of the most concerned is that since July 31, when children of family age who have bought a house in Xicheng District and obtained a house property certificate apply for entry into primary school, they will no longer correspond to enrollment in the zoning school. Admission to the adjacent school district.

  The introduction of the New Deal in Xicheng District stimulated the second-hand housing market in Beijing. Statistics from Shell Research Institute show that in May, the proportion of second-hand housing transactions in Xicheng District in the city increased from 7% to 12%, driving the city's second-hand housing transaction prices to rise significantly.

  There is a three-month buffer period for the new policy of admission to Xicheng City. Both buyers and sellers must complete the transaction before July 31. In order to limit the space for depreciation of the school district's housing to the greatest extent, the seller immediately hung up a house for sale in an intermediary store.

  Large-district school districts have no room for attention, while one-bedroom and two-bedroom are the most popular. School districts in the Sanlihe area of ​​Xicheng District have a transaction price of between RMB 120,000 and RMB 150,000 per square meter.

  A week after the announcement of the new policy for enrollment, the number of listings and transactions in Xicheng District both experienced rapid growth. The data shows that the number of listings in Xicheng District exceeded the total volume in April last year, and the trading volume in a week was equivalent to 70% of the trading volume in April last year.

  In order to give their children a ticket to a prestigious school, anxious parents flocked to Xicheng District for the first time, and the popularity of second-hand housing in the area soared for a time. Deshengmen and Financial Street are the most notable. In May, the transaction volume of these two areas increased by 316% and 134% respectively, especially the small-sized second-hand housing transactions were more active.

  Most of Beijing's high-quality educational resources are concentrated in Dongcheng, Xicheng, Haidian and other regions. Earlier, after the implementation of "multi-school planning" in the two strong education districts of Dongcheng and Haidian, the volume and price of houses in the popular school districts in the district have increased intensively, and they have also continued to fall after the implementation of the policy.

  So, will the transaction volume of housing in the school district continue to rise after the Xicheng admission policy is adjusted? Beijing Lianjia Research Institute predicts that in June, Beijing's second-hand housing transaction volume will naturally drop, about 15%, and the city's transaction volume is expected to be around 15,000 units. In terms of prices, second-hand housing will rise steadily, with an increase of less than 2%.

  Xu Xiaole, chief analyst of Shell Research Institute, said that the multi-school planning policy will not cause the school district's housing prices to drop sharply, but it can effectively prevent the school district's hype and promote the healthy development of the second-hand housing market.
