Following Shenzhen, another popular city, Chengdu, has also begun to implement the reference price release mechanism for second-hand housing transactions to "cool down" the local property market.
On May 28th, the official WeChat account of Chengdu Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau issued a document saying, "In order to implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, adhere to the positioning that houses are used for living, not for speculation, implement the relevant provisions of the Notice on Further Promoting the Stable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market, improve the information transparency of the second-hand housing market, promote rational market transactions, and ensure the stable and healthy development of the real estate market in Chengdu, the second-hand housing is specially established with the consent of the leading group for the stable and healthy development of the real estate market in Chengdu.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted market attention. Ning Jun (pseudonym), who is currently working in Chengdu, told the Securities Daily reporter, "This is undoubtedly good news for those who have plans to buy a house. With the reference price of second-hand housing transactions, the behavior that was easy to price at will be suppressed and the market will be more transparent. "
On May 29th, Guanwei of "Chengdu Housing Construction" issued a document again, announcing the reference price of the first batch of second-hand houses in 20 1 community, of which the highest reference price is 39,300 yuan/square meter. On the afternoon of May 29th 10, the reporter of Securities Daily found that the listing price displayed on a certain platform was generally higher than the reference price of second-hand houses published in Chengdu. Taking Renhe Jinsha Community as an example, the platform page shows that the average listing price of this community is 202 1 1 yuan/square meter, while the reference price given by Chengdu authorities is 19232 yuan/square meter. For the inconsistency between the listing price and the official reference price, the reply given by the platform broker is, "The situation of each house is different, and the psychological price of the owner is different."
It is worth mentioning that at present, the release mechanism of reference price of second-hand housing transactions in Chengdu is landing. On the afternoon of May 30, when the reporter searched on the above platform again, he found that the second-hand housing pages in several communities all showed "no average price for the time being". When the reporter consulted the average price online, the platform intermediary said: "The reference price given by the Housing and Construction Bureau shall prevail".
Liu Xiangdong, deputy director of the Economic Research Department of China International Economic Exchange Center, told the Securities Daily reporter that the release of the reference price of second-hand housing transactions aims to make the market return to rationality, which can not only calm market expectations and reduce malicious speculation on prices, but also highlight the policy benchmark of "staying in the house without speculation" and effectively guide the stable development of the housing market and the establishment of a long-term mechanism.
"In the future, the reference price of second-hand houses in more cities will become the basis for approving loans, which will play a strong guiding role in market price expectations while controlling real estate financial risks. It is expected to have a profound impact on the real estate market, especially in controlling the rise in housing prices. " Jaco, dean of the branch of Anjuke Real Estate Research Institute, said in an interview with a reporter from Securities Daily.
In fact, Chengdu is not the first city to announce the reference price of second-hand housing transactions. On February 8th this year, Shenzhen Real Estate and Urban Construction and Development Research Center, on the basis of investigation and analysis, comprehensively formed the reference price of second-hand housing transactions in residential quarters in the city based on the online signing price of second-hand housing and referring to the surrounding first-hand housing prices, and released the reference price of second-hand housing transactions in 3,595 residential quarters in the city according to the principle of full coverage and regional grid.
Lawyer Wang Yuchen, director of Beijing Golden Litigation Law Firm, said in an interview with Securities Daily that this shows that after Shenzhen was the first city to eat crabs, new cities have begun to follow its model, and real estate control measures are constantly upgrading, which reflects the determination and strength of the state to regulate the property market, and it is impossible to make huge profits by "real estate speculation".
Liu Xiangdong said that a series of price control policies for housing, especially second-hand housing, first showed the firm determination to "live without speculation", guided the market price increase to cool down and promoted the stabilization of housing demand; Second, the control means are diversified; Third, pay more attention to the adjustment of market-oriented mechanism and gradually establish a long-term mechanism. At the same time, while ensuring the reasonable housing demand of residents, we should accurately correct and block the behavior that disrupts the market order, effectively guide the gradual release of reasonable housing demand, and strictly investigate the illegal capital flowing into real estate.
"Judging from the regulation of second-hand housing in the first half of this year, the main direction of the policy is to stabilize the market, strictly control housing prices, and severely punish chaos." Jaco said that Shenzhen and Chengdu started from the reference price of second-hand housing transactions, and set up a second-hand housing price positioning point for the market, focusing on preventing irrational rise of second-hand housing prices in some areas. In addition, other places also start with the school district housing that affects the second-hand housing price, promote the equalization of education from the school district housing policy, and crack down on some excessive speculation of educational resources.
"It is expected that the follow-up first-tier cities and hot-spot second-tier cities will follow up the reference price policy for second-hand housing transactions, which will stabilize market expectations and promote the healthy development of the market." Jaco said.
Liu Xiangdong suggested that in order to further implement the policy orientation of "housing without speculation", the financial attribute of housing should be reduced and its residential function should be improved.
