In this "official announcement" published at 15:49 on May 20, a total of 3 new measures for real estate "city-specific policies" were mentioned, including optimizing and improving talent housing support, second-hand housing transactions, housing provident fund loans, etc. .
Among them, the most interesting is the second-hand housing new policy, which is mentioned in the article, “From May 20, 2022, Nanjing local residents and non-city registered residents do not need to provide proof of purchase when purchasing second-hand housing, to meet the needs of new citizens, etc. The just-needed group has reasonable housing needs.”
Many real estate people pointed out that according to the statement, it means that the purchase restriction of second-hand houses in Nanjing has been cancelled, and there is no limit to the number and area of houses purchased by buyers, and there is no distinction between locals and foreigners.
In the afternoon of the same day, when the staff of a real estate agency in Nanjing took customers through the transaction procedures at the real estate transaction center, they had been told that no proof of purchase was required, indicating that the policy had already been implemented.
Surprisingly, less than two hours after the "official announcement", the article on the Nanjing Housing Association's WeChat public account showed that "the content has been deleted by the publisher." There are many policy adjustments that need to be revised and improved.
In addition, the reporter saw in some intermediary WeChat groups that someone posted a message saying that "tomorrow (May 21) all second-hand housing businesses that are within the purchase restriction policy will require a house purchase certificate", that is, to restore the previous policy for implementation.
