(Economic Observation) Beijing, Hangzhou, and Chengdu on the same day to upgrade housing purchase restrictions and speculators were completely blocked

  China News Agency, Beijing, August 6th (Reporter Pang Wuji) On August 5th, Hangzhou, Beijing, and Chengdu all issued new policies to regulate the property market and upgraded housing purchase restrictions.

  On the same day, Hangzhou introduced the new property market policy, which is called "the most stringent regulation in recent years" in the industry, and further upgraded the housing purchase restrictions.

In the past, Hangzhou was able to buy a house when settled down, and under the preferential policies of talents, the threshold for settlement was low.

However, the New Deal stipulates that households with household registration less than 5 years must pay social security for 2 consecutive years; non-registered households must pay social security for 4 consecutive years (2 years in the past) before they can purchase a house within the purchase restriction.

  This is the third time that Hangzhou has issued a new property market policy in a month.

According to industry statistics, Hangzhou’s new policy may affect more than one million potential home buyers, including college students, newly-introduced talents, and non-resident households.

According to reports, in 2020, Hangzhou's net inflow of talents will remain the first in the country, with 436,000 newly recruited college students under 35 years old.

  In the evening of the same day, Beijing introduced new regulatory policies for divorce purchases.

The Beijing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-rural Development issued an announcement stating that since August 5, if the couple divorced, and the number of housing units owned by the original family before the divorce does not meet the city’s commercial housing purchase restrictions, neither party shall be allowed within 3 years from the date of divorce. Buy commercial housing in Beijing.

  Li Yifeng, deputy research director of the Beijing Branch of the Zhongzhi Research Institute, pointed out that, on the basis of the credit restrictions on divorce purchases in 2017, Beijing has further restricted the eligibility for divorce purchases, filling the loopholes in the previous "divorce purchases" policy.

The policy is expected to crack down on the use of "fake divorce" and other means to obtain the qualifications to buy a house.

  Chengdu has also put a "patch" on the purchase restriction policy.

After the third batch of second-hand housing reference prices were announced the day before, Chengdu again “patched” the purchase restriction policy on the 5th: strengthened the management of donated housing, and the donated housing is included in the total number of housing units of the recipient’s family. The behavior of taking advantage of the eligibility to buy a house.

  Within a day, the three cities increased regulation of the property market, and the signal of strict regulation was clearly visible.

In fact, since late July, Chinese officials have frequently issued signals to strengthen regulation of the property market.

  On July 22, Han Zheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, attended the teleconference on accelerating the development of affordable rental housing and further improving the regulation of the real estate market, and pointed out that we should attach great importance to new situations and problems in real estate work and insist on housing. It is used for living, not for speculation, and does not use real estate as a short-term means of stimulating the economy.

  On July 29th, Ni Hong, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of China, interviewed the leaders of the five cities of Yinchuan, Xuzhou, Jinhua, Quanzhou, and Huizhou, and requested that the new situation and new problems in the real estate market in the first half of the year be strengthened.

  While intensive deployment at the national level, cities as the main regulatory body have also set off a wave of tightening of property market policies.

It is worth noting that in the new round of intensive control, many places are no longer "small troubles", many policies are called "the most stringent in history" by the industry, and the accuracy of control continues to improve, relying on "drilling loopholes" for speculation The room was completely blocked.

  For example: Wuhan introduces "room ticket" management.

On July 28, Wuhan introduced a new house purchase policy, stating that buyers who intend to purchase commercial houses in Wuhan’s restricted areas must first apply for house purchase qualifications and meet the conditions to receive a "box ticket" for house purchases. The validity period is 60 days.

Moreover, a room ticket can only be registered for one real estate at a time.

  Following Shenzhen, cities such as Chengdu, Ningbo, Dongguan, Wuxi, and Shaoxing have also issued reference price mechanisms for second-hand housing transactions.

Under the influence of this mechanism, according to agency statistics, second-hand housing prices in Shenzhen have shrunk by 15% in half a year.

  Zhang Dawei, chief analyst of Centaline Real Estate, believes that a big change in China’s property market regulation this year lies in the "one city, one policy." Ways, strengths, and meticulousness have all been significantly upgraded, and the control "toolbox" has also been enriched.

The key areas of property market regulation this year, such as the prudent management of real estate finance, the linkage mechanism of real estate, the evaluation and assessment of local regulation, and the accountability mechanism for interviews, are all deployed at the national level.

  According to statistics from the Centaline Real Estate Research Center, in the first 7 months of this year, governments at all levels and relevant departments have issued a total of 352 real estate-related policies, with an average of more than 50 times a month, and the policy tends to become stricter.

The speculators were completely blocked.
