Since this year, various regions have successively introduced relevant real estate adjustment and optimization policies due to “city policies.” According to monitoring data from the China Index Research Institute, nearly 90 provinces, cities (counties) across the country introduced more than 100 policies in the first quarter, including canceling or easing purchase restriction policies, optimizing provident fund loan policies, and phased removal of lower interest rate limits on loans. The reporter's visit revealed that the effects of the real estate adjustment and optimization policy are gradually showing. Since the Spring Festival, with the implementation of policies such as easing purchase restrictions in first-tier cities and optimizing provident fund loans in many places, the activity of new and second-hand housing transactions has been picking up in some regions. Through monitoring of 14 key cities, the Zhuge Data Research Center showed that 102,755 second-hand housing units were sold, an increase of 125.2% over the previous month. Among them, 14,280 second-hand housing units were signed online in Beijing, up 141.05% from the previous month. Industry insiders said that in the next step, as policies on both the supply and demand sides of real estate continue to be optimized and adjusted, the buyer's intention to buy a home may be moderately restored. It is expected that the real estate policy environment will continue to be relaxed this year; however, the overall market is still slowly recovering. (Economic Reference Journal)
