The high-frequency introduction of the policy of loosening the property market in various places has allowed the buyers and sellers of the market to gradually get rid of the wait-and-see mood and become more active in making decisions.

Except for Shanghai, Shenyang, Harbin and other cities that were more affected by the epidemic, about 90% of the cities The number of new listings increased month-on-month; the epidemic in April interrupted the growth trend of second-hand housing listings, but with the epidemic under control in most cities, the number of second-hand housing listings in many places has returned to an upward trend since May.
