China News Service Client Beijing, May 19 (Peng Jingru) The property market is gradually waking up. "In March, the backlog of housing demand showed an gradual release." "In April, the backlog of housing demand was further released."

  Kong Peng, chief statistician of the City Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, said on the 18th that in April, the real estate market prices in 70 large and medium-sized cities continued to rise slightly, but the overall situation was still relatively stable.

70 cities continue to rise slightly

  According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on the 18th, in April, the price increase of new and second-hand houses in all tier cities was the same as last month or slightly expanded.

On May 18, the National Bureau of Statistics released the sales price index of newly built commercial housing in 70 large and medium-sized cities in April.

  According to preliminary estimates, the sales prices of newly built commercial housing in four first-tier cities rose by 0.2% month-on-month, the same increase as last month; the sales prices of second-hand housing increased by 1.1% month-on-month, an increase of 0.6 percentage points from the previous month. The sales prices of newly built commercial housing and second-hand housing in 31 second-tier cities rose by 0.5% and 0.4% respectively, an increase of 0.2 percentage points from the previous month.

  In 35 third-tier cities, due to factors such as lower price levels, the sales price of newly built commercial housing rose by 0.6% month-on-month, an increase of 0.4 percentage points from the previous month, and was higher than that of first- and second-tier cities. The increase was 0.1 percentage point higher than last month.

  Yan Yuejin, Director of Research at the Think Tank Center of E-House Research Institute, said that from the number of cities where house prices have risen and fallen, the number of cities where house prices have risen is 50, which is a significant increase compared to 38 in March. This shows that the property market as a whole has shown a phenomenon of rising prices, and some cities have gradually stepped out of the trough in February.

  In February, 70 large and medium-sized cities had a rare phenomenon of "no transactions in 19 cities and no transactions in 24 cities." According to incomplete statistics at that time, Shandong, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Henan, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and other places have explicitly stipulated the suspension of the opening of commercial housing sales offices in order to effectively prevent the spread of new coronary pneumonia.

Which cities have the biggest house price increase?

  Faced with the news of "the housing price in 70 cities continues to rise slightly," some people laughed and said, "Forgetting the house in 28 years may be more than 6 million?"

  Recently, a Mr. Zhang in Shenzhen said that her sister bought a 144 square meter house for 330,000 yuan in 1992. She has never lived and was forgotten. Now she thinks about finding strangers. Informed neighbors said that Ms. Zhang has been unoccupied after buying a house. Now that house prices have risen to more than 6 million, the current tenants have moved in with a lock.

  As a result, the news of "forgetting that the house in 28 years has risen to 6 million" has appeared on the hot search.

  Judging from the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the Shenzhen property market, which experienced a large increase in house prices in March, stepped on the brakes slightly in April. Nanjing, the country with the largest land sales in April, grabbed the number one month-on-month increase in new houses. Tangshan is also tied for the first place. Tangshan's new and second-hand housing rose by 14.7% and 15.6% year-on-year in April, respectively, ranking first in the list.

  Although Shenzhen's new house prices rose flat in April, the increase in second-hand house prices should not be underestimated. The prices of second-hand houses in the four first-tier cities rose by 1.1% month-on-month, or 0.6 percentage points higher than last month. Among them, Shenzhen rose by 1.7%, which continued to increase from the 1.6% increase in March. Beijing and Shanghai rose 1.1% and 1.2% respectively, while Guangzhou remained unchanged.

  Facing Xiaoyangchun in the property market, Zhang Dawei, chief analyst of Centaline Real Estate, believes that market differentiation still exists. “The main reason for market differentiation is concentrated in the policy of stabilizing the property market in various places, especially the rise is still concentrated in a few hot cities. There are cities such as Nanjing and Tangshan, and the most obvious rise in second-hand housing is concentrated in Chengdu, Shenyang, and Shenzhen. "

  According to Yan Yuejin's analysis, in the near future, the Yangtze River Delta market is ahead of the other two city circles. The property market transactions are generally good, which also makes housing prices easy to rebound. "Nanjing ranked the 27th nationwide in terms of house price growth in March, but now it has suddenly risen to the first place, which actually represents the recent trend of the Yangtze River Delta to a certain extent."

29.4% of home buyers think house prices will rise

  "House prices in April began to be divided, and some cities' house prices began to rise." Zhang Bo, president of the 58 Anju Guest House Research Institute Branch, said that following the general return of the property market to normal in March, the popularity of many cities in April has been rapid. Growth, the overall pace of recovery in the property market is significantly faster than expected.

  The current "waking up gas" in the property market is not small. Will there continue to be a small spring in the real estate market?

  Recent house prices have kept brokers' confidence rising and are optimistic about the market. According to data from 58 Anju Guest House Research Institute, the broker confidence index in April was 108.6, up 0.4% from the previous month.

  In addition to real estate practitioners, there are certainly buyers who are particularly concerned about housing prices. "Qianlang" worried that he would continue to tighten his belt in order to save the house for his children. "Houlang" looked forward when he could save the house. 58 Anju Guest House Research Institute's latest homebuyer confidence index was 102.7, up 1.8% from the previous month. 29.4% of buyers believe that housing prices will rise this year.

  "Xiaoyang Chun in the property market has appeared very clearly." Zhang Dawei said that the transaction data in the first half of May has exceeded the same period last year. With the 2020 epidemic situation basically stable, the nation's real estate market will be part of the downward adjustment before quickly recovering. On the whole, the impact of the epidemic on the property market has basically passed, and the market turnover in 2020 is still expected to be close to the historical record in 2019.

  "The biggest highlight is the second-tier cities. This year, the second-tier cities will become the main market for house purchases." Yan Yuejin believes that with the resumption of work and production in place, the second-tier cities will have new infrastructure construction, talent introduction, and various housing policy reforms this year With larger movements, it is easy to become a city with a relatively large increase in house prices.

  "Especially in some second-tier cities where the land market continues to be hot recently, follow-up needs to prevent the phenomenon of housing prices rising too fast." Yan Yuejin said. (Finish)
