Chinanews client, Beijing, July 8 (Zuo Yukun) "Because of the release of inflammatory information on Beijing's Xicheng District Educational Reform Policy, which caused mass gatherings and was suspected of provoking troubles, two brokers from Beijing I Love My Family have been under criminal detention. "Recently, this news has thrown a "boring thunder" in the property market.
Previously, on July 4, Beijing Xicheng District Housing Management Bureau held a work meeting to require intermediaries: not to use school district housing as a selling point to publish housing; not to accept commissions with prices significantly higher than market prices; strengthen management and training of practitioners, and strictly implement Relevant regulations do not participate in any activities that speculate about the school district’s housing.
Not only Beijing, but many places across the country have taken actions to show that "prohibition of speculation in school district housing" is not just talking.
Is the situation of "school district housing going up forever, one room to relieve thousands of worries", is it really going to end?

The school district housing bought with huge sums of money has become a "blind box"?
"The Xicheng houses were originally after the '731', and they were all sent to the'slag school' (i.e. relatively ordinary schools). It can be said that these tens of millions of school district houses were bought for nothing." A parent in Xicheng District, Beijing Ms. Li told Chinanews.com.
On July 4th, the two-day application of intent to enroll in 2021 elementary school in Xicheng District, Beijing ended.
Some parents who spent huge sums of money to buy houses in the school districts of Desheng, Yuetan and Financial Street in order to enroll their children after July 31 last year, they saw the reporting system showing that they could enter the “niuxiao” (i.e. high-quality elementary school). ) Basically, I don’t have a degree, so I can only choose ordinary primary schools in other districts.

What is "731" that makes parents of preschool children in Xicheng District feel scalp numb?
This is a new policy announced by Xicheng District last year, stipulating that after July 31, 2020, children of newly-purchasing families will no longer be registered to enroll in the designated school after July 31, 2020, and all enroll in the school district or adjacent school districts in a multi-school manner. .
In layman's terms, before this, a set of houses corresponded to a certain school; after multiple schools were divided, even the "Bull School" school district houses bought at a high price before corresponded to multiple schools, and places were allocated randomly.
"The'limited VIP' purchased with huge sums of money has also become an'open blind box'." Ms. Li said that some of the parents she knew chose to gamble after the "731", because there was a single school plan if the degree was sufficient. It is a precedent for film admissions, but I did not expect that this year's high-quality elementary school in Xicheng will directly shut the door to post-731 buyers.
The intermediary did not dare to mention the word "school district",
and the price of a house was reduced by 200,000 to 300,000
"Late April of each year is the time when the admission policy is announced. In that year, the settlement must be before May 1 to catch up with the application for admission. Therefore, the school district housing will be relatively hot every year before the Spring Festival to April." Beijing City An agent in Xicheng District said.

According to data from Centaline Real Estate, in the first quarter of Beijing's second-hand housing market, about 52,585 units were sold, and the transaction volume increased by more than 30% month-on-month, mainly due to the increase in housing transaction volume in the Xicheng and Haidian School Districts.
"One day at 8 o'clock in the morning, I took a client to see a school district room before she went to work. When I arrived, I found that the room was crowded and there were already 5 or 6 groups of people looking at the room. My client went in and probably took a look. When I went to the kitchen and bathroom, the decision was made directly, which shocked me.” The agent recalled.
In recent years, affected by the school district’s policies, the school district’s housing market has been hot, with prices hitting new highs repeatedly.
The three high-quality educational resource areas of Desheng, Yuetan and Financial Street, Xicheng District, are even the "top stream": 140,000-160,000 yuan/m2 has become an average price, and prices above 200,000/m2 are frequently Now, most of the news that house prices jumped hundreds of thousands overnight also happened here.
However, "all intermediaries dare not involve these anymore, let alone the word'school district'." An intermediary told Chinanews.com on July 6 that since this year, especially after "430", the school district’s housing The industry has become a "big taboo."

On April 30, the Politburo meeting of the CPC Central Committee emphasized, “We must adhere to the positioning of houses for living, not for speculation, increase the supply of affordable rental housing and common property housing, and prevent speculation in housing prices in the name of school district housing." This is also the first time that the school district housing issue has been named in such a high-level meeting.
Relevant departments have repeatedly beaten, coupled with the Xicheng District's efforts to implement the policy of small promotion and small promotion, a number of intermediaries told Chinanews.com that the current market wait-and-see attitude in the entire key area is relatively strong.
According to media reports, there was an emergency price cut for houses in the Desheng area of Xicheng, and the owner's price dropped from 10 million yuan to 9.2 million yuan, a direct drop of 800,000 yuan.
An intermediary said that although he hasn't seen such a big drop in the current listings in his own hands, many previous owners who were extremely energetic and did not lose a penny were also slightly shaken.
"For houses with more than 10 million yuan, there is a floating drop of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan."
Housing prices in the once-unusually strong Shenzhen School District have also been loosening. In Nanshan District, the real estate listings called "Guanhaitai" have their quotations lowered by 1.4 million yuan within two days.
In Shanghai, due to the introduction of the balanced education policy, the wait-and-see mentality of school district housing buyers has increased. Some parents "stopped" the purchase plan and prepared to wait and see for a while before making a decision.
Will the school district room be completely cool?
“The listing of top school districts may indeed be declining, but at the same time, because of the possibility of lottery, many not-so-good school districts in West City have also increased their prices.” According to Ms. Li’s understanding, it is currently “120,000 100,000, 80,000 rose to 100,000."
Ms. Li is a local who grew up in Dongcheng District, Beijing. She sold the school district house in Dongcheng District to get married and bought a large house in Daxing District.
But it didn't take long for the child to be comfortable, and the child was only 2 years old this year, and she was already thinking about how to solve the child's schooling problem.
Ms. Li said that in 2013, the neighbor insisted on selling the house in Daxing District and replaced the “old and broken young” in Desheng District. This year, the child was admitted to Beijing No. 4 Middle School at the beginning of Xiaosheng, and everyone around was envious of it.
"The more you wait, the more expensive it is. The house she bought was still 50,000/㎡ in 2012, but the transaction increased to 80,000/㎡ by the end of 2013, but I heard it has doubled now."
"There is a nine-year consistent school near my home. It takes only a few minutes to go to school, but there are relatively few good schools in Daxing. It has been easy for nine years, and the pressure at the beginning of the year has increased." Ms. Li said.
"Most parents still feel that no matter how the policy changes, the principle of proximity to school is definitely not wrong. In the future, you will still get a card for the number of years to settle down, so you can start early and feel at ease." An intermediary said.
This may be the reason why some people are anxious to "get on the bus" when the housing policy of the Xicheng School District is so tightened.
Ms. Li said that it was precisely because of the policy fluctuations that she wanted to buy a school district room in a non-key school district, and see if she could also allocate places across the district and get admission tickets to a good school.

"As long as the school's teaching level and the admission rate are high or low, there will naturally be differences between the advantages and disadvantages of the school, high-quality schools will always be sought after, and the value logic of the school district housing itself will not be broken." There are people in the real estate industry. think.
The Crane Research Center also believes that, in the short term, school district housing control, such as Shanghai, has a significant effect, and hot school district housing development and transaction volume decline.
But in the long run, to completely eliminate the possibility of using school district housing for speculation, the fundamental way is to decouple school enrollment and housing purchase.
Have you ever worried about the "school district room"?
