Suzhou has completely abolished housing purchase restrictions. There is no qualification review for buying a house, and the sale of new houses is still limited to two years.

For the purchase of commercial housing below 120 square meters, non-local household registrations enjoy the benefits of local household registration. Comprehensive measures such as housing purchase subsidies, room ticket placement, and group purchasing will be adopted to better meet residents’ rigid and improved housing needs, says Suzhou Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau.
