and 7 places including Hengqin District, Zhuhai

Housing purchase restrictions to varying degrees are still being implemented

Will the property market purchase restrictions be fully withdrawn?

You can settle down when you buy a house

Hangzhou's new policy has attracted market attention

On May 9, Hangzhou's new policy of completely canceling housing purchase restrictions attracted great attention from the market. The "Notice on Optimizing and Adjusting the Real Estate Market Regulation and Control Policy" issued by the Office of the Leading Group for the Stable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market in Hangzhou proposes to completely cancel the housing purchase restrictions. From the date of issuance of the "Notice", the purchase of housing within the scope of Hangzhou will no longer be subject to the examination of housing qualifications.

Will the property market purchase restrictions be fully withdrawn?

👉 In terms of settlement policy, the "Notice" proposes that non-registered persons who have obtained legal property rights in Hangzhou can apply for settlement.

👉 In terms of credit support, the "Notice" states that if the buyer does not have a house within the urban area of the purchased housing, or has only one house within the urban area of the purchased housing and is being put up for sale, it can be recognized as the first house when applying for a mortgage loan for the new housing.

👉 In terms of notary lottery sales measures, the "Notice" proposes to optimize the notary lottery sales measures. For newly built commercial housing projects where the number of registered families with the intention to purchase houses is less than or equal to the number of houses allowed for sale, the notarization lottery sales requirement will be cancelled, and the development enterprises will sell them independently.

The executive vice president of the East China Region of the China Index Research Institute told reporters that Hangzhou's comprehensive liberalization of purchase restrictions, coupled with other supporting policies, will be conducive to the active release of effective demand. On the one hand, you can settle down by buying a house and absorb more new demand in the province or abroad; On the other hand, the demand for local improvement may be accelerated. If there is no house or a second-hand house listed in the purchase area, it can be identified as the first house, which undoubtedly reduces the cost of improving the purchase cost of the customer group, promotes the release of demand, and the chain of selling the old and buying the new will be greatly smooth.

Xi'an's new policy is not lacking in innovation

It has a certain reference significance

On May 9, Xi'an also issued the "Notice on Further Promoting the Stable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market", which completely canceled the housing purchase restrictions in Xi'an, and residents will no longer review the qualifications for purchasing new commercial housing and second-hand housing in the city. In addition, when selling commercial housing projects, if the ratio of the number of registered households to the number of housing listings is less than 1.5:1, the notary lottery will no longer be implemented. Housing with a construction area of more than 144 square meters will no longer be given priority to "rigid needs" when selecting houses by lottery.

What has attracted more attention from the market is

Xi'an's new policy has been very supportive of developers

It has aroused heated discussions in the industry

The Notice mainly mentions four aspects:

First, the self-owned rental housing of the enterprise agreed in the original land transfer contract shall be applied for by the enterprise, and after being reviewed by the housing and construction and resource planning departments and accounting for the relevant fees, it can be converted into commercial housing for listing and trading.

The second is to scientifically calculate the relevant expenses of the enterprise, and the amount of underground parking spaces and civil air defense projects that are not counted is not calculated when the land transfer fee is apportioned.

The third is to allow enterprises, public institutions, and social entities to purchase second-hand housing and the remaining newly built commercial housing after the registration and selection of housing by residents. Encourage qualified enterprises, public institutions, and social entities to lease or purchase relatively concentrated second-hand housing, and use it for staff dormitories, home-based hotels, homestays, and other operations after micro-transformation, so as to revitalize idle housing resources and create a diversified housing market.

The fourth is to establish and improve the coordination mechanism for real estate financing in Xi'an, promote the normalization of the "white list system", meet the reasonable financing needs of real estate enterprises of different ownership without discrimination, and promote a virtuous cycle of finance and real estate.

Shi Rui, general manager of Xi'an Company of the China Index Research Institute, told reporters that after the full cancellation of purchase restrictions, it will be beneficial to second-hand housing replacement transactions, and the transaction volume is bound to continue to rise this year. This move is also to fully open up the channel for foreign buyers to buy houses, attract the surrounding areas and even the five northwest provinces to buy houses, and inject new impetus into the market. She judged that after the full lifting of purchase restrictions, the base of buyers has been broadened, and the choice of buyers has become wider at the same time, and the transaction volume of new homes in May and the entire second quarter will improve.

In the view of Yan Yuejin, research director of the E-House Research Institute, Xi'an's policy is not lacking in innovation, such as self-owned properties can also be sold, enterprises are encouraged to acquire second-hand houses and carry out micro-transformation, and rental housing can be converted into commercial housing, etc., which are not mentioned in other cities, which are the first in Xi'an and have certain reference significance.

There are only 7 places in the country that still have purchase restriction policies

The relaxation of purchase restrictions will be the general trend

According to the monitoring data of the China Index Research Institute, up to now, a total of 24 cities across the country have completely canceled purchase restrictions, 35 cities have relaxed purchase restrictions, in addition, more than 160 cities have introduced policies including relaxing provident fund loan policies, housing purchase subsidies, canceling the lower limit of the first home commercial loan interest rate, and "white list" project financing support. At present, only 7 places in the country, including Hainan, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Tianjin and Hengqin District of Zhuhai, still have limited purchase policies.

The complete relaxation of purchase restrictions has become the mainstream choice in many places. So, as a landmark policy of real estate regulation in mainland China, is the property market purchase restriction policy, which has been implemented for more than 10 years, completely withdrawn from the market?

Analysts at Guojin Securities told reporters that the current general trend is to gradually fade out of some of the overly restrictive measures in the overheating stage of real estate. However, as far as each city is concerned, it will still adhere to the principle of "one city, one policy", which can also be seen from the adjustment of various cities in recent times. "The actual situation of each city is different, including the operation of the real estate market, as well as the resource endowment, urban positioning and function of each city, etc., so the city's policies are more pragmatic. For example, Beijing's policy adjustment before May Day has been refined to one district and one policy. ”

Gao Yuansheng expects that at present, there are still some cities with purchase restrictions that will continue to optimize the purchase restriction policy in the future, especially in second-tier cities, the pace of adjustment of the purchase restriction policy may be accelerated, and at the same time, policies such as reducing the proportion of down payments, reducing mortgage interest rates, and reducing transaction taxes and fees in core cities are also expected to be adjusted.

Industry insiders believe that the relaxation of purchase restrictions is the trend of the times, and the relationship between supply and demand in the mainland real estate market has undergone major changes. At present, there are still a small number of cities that are partially implementing the purchase restriction policy, which is due to the serious differentiation of the mainland real estate market, and the urgent need for city-specific policies and one city-one policy. Cities with oversupply in the market and insufficient capacity can choose to completely cancel purchase restrictions, but dynamic adjustment will be a trend in key cities due to the involvement of settlement policies.
