Rising housing prices in school districts have occurred in many cities.
The Paper News reporter noticed that some netizens recently left a message on the 12345 Government Service Through Train column on the official website of the Hefei Municipal Government, suggesting that "Hefei housing prices will skyrocket in 2020, and there will be serious speculation for small apartments. It is recommended to cancel the admission qualification for small apartments."
The netizen said: “Looking at the news reports, the unit price of a small apartment school district in Hefei is as high as 70,000 yuan per square meter. Since the beginning of this year, the small apartment school district has been speculated, ranging from 3 to 41,000 square meters to 70,000 yuan. Square, the price is staggering, the pre-tropical zone has moved the entire Hefei property market and market expectations. Many of them are more than 20 square meters, more than 30 square meters, 40 or 50 square meters. Such a small house is frequently sold and sold. It is all about the concept of hype school district. The hype of housing prices in Hefei started with small units, which completely violates the spirit of not housing speculation. It is strongly recommended that units below 60 square meters be disqualified for enrollment. Without these small units, housing prices in Hefei will cool down. Back to reason."
