Zhang Bo, Dean of 58 Anju Guest House Property Research Institute, pointed out that in March, the real estate market regulation remained under high pressure, especially the tightening of financial side regulation has a greater impact on the market. Therefore, compared with January and February this year, housing prices fell. The number of cities in China has increased, and the popularity of the second-hand housing market in many cities has also stopped rising.
Zhang Bo believes that the overall cooling trend of the property market at the end of the first quarter is expected to continue into the second quarter. Measures such as strict inspection of down payment funds, property market regulation "patching" and strengthening supervision of second-hand housing prices will continue in April.
