  There have been several rumors that Langfang, which has canceled purchase restrictions and "refuted rumors", has finally officially "saved the market".

  Recently, Langfang City issued the "Six Measures on Supporting the Virtuous Cycle and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Industry". The requirements on the number of years for housing sales restrictions in the surrounding counties (cities) of the Huanxiong'an New Area have also been completely cancelled.

  As early as June 17 this year, the official website of the Langfang Municipal Government announced the "Six Policy Measures for Supporting the Virtuous Cycle and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Industry", but the first measure at that time showed "slight" and did not mention the cancellation of purchase and sales restrictions.

  According to the clear card released this time, Langfang should optimize and adjust the housing purchase restriction and sale restriction policies.

Restricted house purchase qualifications that are not suitable for the current real estate market situation in terms of household registration and social security (personal tax) are cancelled.

When purchasing the first set of high-end talents recruiting talents, executives of enterprises attracting investment, and people who are relocated from non-capital functions in Beijing, they will be treated according to their local household registration.

  In addition, it is necessary to reduce the down payment ratio of housing provident fund loans. For employees who use housing provident fund loans to buy their first self-occupied house, the down payment ratio shall not be less than 20%; for the introduced high-end talents, all localities can purchase the first self-occupied house in them. Provide subsidies when living in housing; reasonably meet the needs of real estate development enterprises for development loans, etc.

  It has been reported many times before that Langfang has cancelled many restrictive policies on the property market.

For example, in Yanjiao Town, Sanhe City, Langfang, the "Sleeping City of Beijing", in 2020, the intermediary said that the purchase restriction of new houses has been lifted, and second-hand houses will also be added in 2021.

  At the end of 2021, the Sanhe City Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau also told reporters that it takes three years for foreigners to buy a house in Yanjiao with local social security, and there is no official document to release the purchase restriction.

However, in June of this year, the staff of the Housing and Urban-rural Development Bureau loosened up verbally, saying "I heard that you can buy it", but there is no official document. If you haven't paid social security, it depends on whether you can sign online.

  In this regard, many intermediaries and real estate consultants said that foreigners buying houses in Yanjiao do not need restrictions such as household registration and social security. New houses have long been released, and second-hand houses have been gradually released last year.

"We have made a lot of transactions, and there is no problem with online signing. Many of them are existing houses, and no additional fees will be charged, but the official can't say that."

  As an important place for regulation around Beijing, on June 3, 2017, the purchase restriction in Langfang City was upgraded. The non-local household registration requires a 3-year social security or tax certificate, and the purchase of one set is limited, and the local household registration is limited to two sets.

The Yanjiao property market, which is affiliated to Langfang, was hit.

Until now, there are still many homebuyers standing guard.

  In the latest transaction data, the overall urban area of ​​Langfang in July "sees more and buys less", and the market has a strong wait-and-see mood.

According to the data from Kerui Huanjing, only about 500 units were sold in 65 projects in the city in July, down more than 20% from June and 50% from July last year. The average transaction price was 11,000 yuan per square meter. about.

  The agency said that the current market price has reached the "bottom line" of real estate companies, but there are voices that some projects are "about to increase in price". At the same time, more emphasis is placed on the selling points of existing houses and quasi-existing houses. More than 30% of the projects in Langfang urban area are existing or quasi-existing houses.

  In Yanjiao, due to the launch of many projects in July, the supply volume has increased significantly compared with the previous month. At the same time, with the recovery of commuting and the increase in the number of viewing customers, the transaction volume and transaction price in July rose month-on-month, and the Beijing customer group is still the most important sales target. .

  Industry analysts believe that the official cancellation of sales and purchase restrictions in Langfang this time can effectively activate the market, provide guidance for other similar cities to relax property market policies in the second half of the year, and is also expected to revitalize the second-hand housing market transactions.

The property market policies of surrounding cities such as Tangshan, Hengshui and Chengde are also very inspiring.

  For Yanjiao, which mainly focuses on Beijing customers, some analysts believe that the core constraints of the Yanjiao market are not purchase restrictions, nor how much demand can be awakened by reducing the down payment by 10%. The core problem of Yanjiao is to solve the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integration. The overall development of the problem, break through the commuting bottlenecks in Yanjiao and Beijing, and improve the standard of public services.

  It is worth noting that since the fourth quarter of 2021, local demand-side policies have been adjusted one after another.

Bank of China Securities believes that the effect of partial policy relaxation in the early stage was ineffective, and it took a certain amount of time for the policy to be transmitted to the sales side. The repeated epidemics caused some demand to be suppressed in stages, and the delivery problem also lowered the confidence in home purchases. Therefore, local policies can be further adjusted.

  According to Bank of China Securities, the following four types of cities are expected to be further loosened on the demand side, including cities with too high inventory pressure, cities with rapid decline in housing prices, cities with too cold land markets, and cities with significant population outflows.
