Repeatedly reiterate that housing is not speculation

  In recent years, whether it is the central or local governments, "housing to live without speculation" has repeatedly appeared in various important meetings and documents, and "housing to live without speculation" has gradually become a real estate market regulation policy familiar to the public.

The Central Economic Work Conference held in December 2020 pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to the positioning of houses for living, not for speculation, and to adopt measures in accordance with local conditions and to promote the steady and healthy development of the real estate market.

Beginning in mid-January, the two sessions of many provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions have been held successively, and "housing to live without speculation" and "promoting the steady and healthy development of the real estate market" have become high-frequency vocabulary in the government work report.

According to incomplete statistics from the Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client, the above-mentioned government work reports in Shanghai, Liaoning, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Gansu, Henan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan, Hainan and other places have all appeared in government work reports. Express.

  The work report of the Shanghai Municipal Government pointed out that it insists on the positioning of houses for living, not for speculation, and improving the long-term mechanism for the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

The work report of the Gansu Provincial Government pointed out that the implementation of the positioning of "housing to live without speculation" will promote the steady and healthy development of the real estate market due to urban policies.

Chongqing Municipality pointed out that it insists on the positioning that houses are used for living, not for speculation, and strives to stabilize land prices, house prices, and expectations to maintain the steady and healthy development of the real estate market.

  Xie Yifeng, director of the China Urban Real Estate Research Institute, told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client that there will be no major changes in the regulation and control policies of the property market in various places this year, and there will be no major relaxation or extensive tightening.

For the time being, some hot cities are strengthening regulation through "patching". It can be foreseen that if the market overheats this spring, the policy may be overweight.

At the above-mentioned central economic work conference, it was also proposed to "solve the prominent housing problems in big cities". This has become the central government's latest formulation of the real estate market. Government work reports in Beijing, Liaoning, Henan, Jiangsu and other places have clarified this.

The work report of the Beijing Municipal Government pointed out that efforts should be made to resolve outstanding housing problems.

The work report of the Liaoning Provincial Government pointed out that efforts should be made to solve outstanding housing problems in big cities, improve long-term rental housing and land element guarantee policies, and promote the steady and healthy development of the real estate market.

The Henan Provincial Government's work report stated that it insisted on "no speculation in housing" and explored solutions to prominent housing problems in big cities.

Xu Xiaole, chief analyst of the Shell Research Institute, told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client that in 2020, under the background of relatively loose monetary policy, some funds spilled into the real estate market, and the contradiction between housing supply and demand in some cities such as Shenzhen has further intensified, and housing prices have risen. .

Excessive rise in housing prices will block the influx of population to a certain extent, which is not conducive to urban development. Therefore, the importance of solving the housing problem in big cities is self-evident.

  Xu Xiaole believes that to solve the housing problem in big cities, we must pay attention to "adjust measures to local conditions and take multiple strategies simultaneously."

Summarizing the real estate control policies introduced in the second half of 2020, it can be found that policy tools are no longer just restrictions on the demand side, but also added policies to increase the supply of residential land, build talent housing and rental housing, and promote regional coordination. Develop long-term strategies to stabilize fluctuations in the real estate market.

  According to incomplete statistics from the Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client, in 2021, Beijing, Shanghai, Liaoning, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Xinjiang, Tibet, Henan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guizhou, Chongqing, Yunnan The government work reports of more than 20 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, including Guangxi, Guangxi and Hainan, all proposed to develop the rental housing market.

At the same time, many places have proposed to standardize the development of long-term rental housing and increase the supply of land for rental housing. This is rarely seen in previous government work reports.

  Guangdong Province proposed to strengthen the construction of affordable rental housing, standardize the development of the long-term rental housing market, increase land supply, separately list land for rental housing plans, and explore the use of collective construction land and idle land owned by enterprises and institutions to build rental housing.

  Hainan Province proposes to introduce a rent-purchase agreement to rectify and standardize the order of the housing rental market, and promptly deal with hidden risks of breach of contract for long-term rental housing.

  Xie Yifeng said that the problem of housing rentals in big cities has continuously aroused concern in the past two years. In addition, some long-term rental apartment companies have frequently run off and thunderstorms, and there is a high demand to improve the rental market environment.

Support for the development of leased housing has been covered in government reports in recent years, but the overall development is faced with constraints from capital and land supply.

  The two sessions in Beijing just ended, and the new rules on renting came into effect.

On February 2, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other departments issued the "Notice on Regulating the Operational Activities of Housing Leasing Enterprises in the City", stating that the deposits collected by housing leasing companies from tenants should be managed through a special account established by the Beijing Real Estate Intermediary Industry Association. The amount of deposit collected must not exceed 1 month's rent.

Yan Yuejin, research director of the Think Tank Center of E-House Research Institute, pointed out that Beijing’s new housing rental regulations have signal significance and industry demonstration effects, which will help reduce various rental disputes and promote the smooth operation and healthy development of the long-term rental apartment industry. It is worth learning from other cities.

  In addition, in addition to the Hainan Provincial Government’s work report, the Ningxia Autonomous Region Government’s work report proposes to insist on “rental and purchase simultaneous measures”, and Chongqing’s proposal to “construct a housing system combining rent and purchase”.

Xu Xiaole stated that China’s resident settlement policy is linked to housing, and the actual implementation process is based on the principle of “house ownership”, which means that the social benefits obtained through renting are lower than buying houses, and “different rights to rent and purchase” has become an impact on the development of the rental housing market. The primary obstacle.

The same right of hire and purchase is conducive to the improvement of the leasing market system, making leasing a long-term residential choice.

  With the reduction of shantytown reconstruction efforts, urban renewal and the transformation of old communities have become major livelihood projects promoted by various regions.

According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, there are about 220,000 old communities built before the end of 2000, involving nearly 39 million households.

In 2020, China will start to renovate a total of 40,279 old communities in cities and towns, benefiting about 7.573 million residents.

The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development previously stated that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China will probably be able to renovate another 35 million households. By the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, we will strive to basically complete the old urban communities that need to be renovated before the end of 2000.

2021 is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan". According to the statistics of the Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client, the government work report of almost all provinces, cities, and autonomous regions, except for individual provinces and cities, proposed to promote the project. The place sets specific goals.

  Shanghai proposes to deepen urban renewal, give full play to the role of the urban renewal center platform, complete the renovation of 700,000 square meters of central urban areas below the second-level old li, implement the renewal of 10 million square meters of old housing, and accelerate the promotion of urban village reconstruction.

Shaanxi Province proposed that 7,500 new shanty towns were renovated, and 3,622 old urban communities were renovated.

Henan Province proposes to promote the transformation and upgrading of old and urban communities and complete the transformation of no less than 500,000 households.

Sichuan Province proposes to implement urban renewal actions, accelerate the construction of livable cities, sponge cities, resilient cities, and smart cities, and renovate 6,000 old communities in cities and towns.

  Xie Yifeng believes that the transformation of old communities is another important measure to drive investment to replace the transformation of shanty towns. Some institutions predict that the total investment in the transformation of old communities may exceed 700 billion yuan in 2020.

But it should be noted that the renovation of old communities also faces the problem of capital investment.

From the perspective of housing value preservation and appreciation, if the community itself has better geographical location and various living facilities, after renovation, the housing value-added space will be larger.
