Looking forward to the future, Zhang Bo, Dean of 58 Anju Guest House Industry Research Institute, said that different cities have already seen obvious unevenness of cold and heat, and the differentiation of the property market between cities will gradually intensify.
This year, the inventory of new houses in cities such as Huzhou, Guiyang, Hefei, and Yangzhou decreased by more than 30% year-on-year; while the inventory of new houses in cities such as Qingyuan, Zhengzhou, Rizhao, and Hangzhou increased by more than 70% year-on-year.
At the same time, the property market policies have also split to a certain extent. Some first- and second-tier cities have begun to tighten their property market policies, while other cities have stayed on their side and kept their policies loose.
In addition, as the transaction volume of second-hand housing in first-tier cities and some second-tier cities exceeds that of new houses, the introduction of some targeted control policies for the second-hand housing market has also become a new trend in property market regulation.
