  Ni Hong asked to insist on the positioning that houses are used for living, not for speculation, not to use real estate as a short-term economic stimulus, to fulfill the main responsibility of the city, and to increase regulation and control in response to the new conditions and new problems in the real estate market in the first half of the year. And supervision efforts to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

  In the five cities of Yinchuan, Xuzhou, Jinhua, Quanzhou, and Huizhou, the sales price of newly-built commercial housing and the price of residential land increased too fast in the first half of this year, and the market expectation was unstable, which caused widespread concern in the society.

The meeting announced that Yinchuan, Xuzhou, Jinhua, Quanzhou, and Huizhou will be included in the list of key cities for real estate market monitoring.

The real estate control work in such cities is jointly supervised by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and relevant provincial governments.

  Ni Hong pointed out that all localities must ensure that the goal of stabilizing land prices, housing prices, and expectations is achieved.

First, it is necessary to speed up the establishment and improvement of the linkage mechanism for housing prices and land prices, optimize land auction rules, limit housing prices, control land prices, improve quality, and resolutely stabilize land prices and house prices.

Second, we must speed up the development of affordable rental housing to solve the housing difficulties of new citizens and young people.

Third, we must take decisive measures to implement the two-way adjustment of supply and demand, regulate market order, and promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

Provincial governments should strengthen supervision and guidance, and urge cities to fulfill their main responsibilities.

  Five cities stated that they will resolutely implement the decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, earnestly take up the main responsibilities of cities, strengthen market monitoring and supervision, and promptly adopt targeted measures to ensure stable land prices, house prices, and expectations.

  Li Yujia, chief researcher of the Guangdong Provincial Housing Policy Research Center, believes that accountability for interviews is an important part of long-term mechanism management.

China's regulation and control bid farewell to the past top-down regulation and turned to "one city, one policy", that is, the local government has the autonomy of regulation and the responsibility.

On the basis of monitoring the local property market, the central government and provincial governments have conducted interviews with cities where housing prices are rising too fast.

The cities interviewed often introduce a new round of control policies.
