In terms of second-hand housing transactions, sales in Hangzhou, Chengdu and other cities fell this week, leading to a decline in sales in key cities month on month.
In terms of inventory, affected by the large month on month decline in new house sales in some cities this week, the saleable area in major cities continued to rise month on month. For example, the large month on month growth rate in the decommissioning cycle in Nanning and Putian led to an increase in the average decommissioning cycle in key cities.
Investment suggestions:
Local funds may subsidize or enhance the willingness to buy houses, and the recovery of policies will promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate industry. Recently, the turnover of new and second-hand housing market continued to fluctuate month on month, the turnover of key cities still decreased year-on-year, and the market confidence needs to be improved. In this environment, more house purchase subsidies will be given this week to alleviate the financial pressure of house buyers from the demand side. For example, Hangzhou will give a house purchase subsidy of 1-8 million yuan to different talent types, and Guilin will provide a consumption voucher subsidy of 1% of the contract amount to some house buyers to alleviate the financial pressure of house purchase, which is expected to improve the purchase willingness of some consumers and promote the further improvement of sales in the real estate industry. In addition, all localities have strengthened and improved the transaction market. For example, Hunan has promoted the reform of “delivery of house and certificate” and Zhenjiang has allowed the transaction parties to voluntarily entrust the house transaction funds to the fund custody bank, so as to promote the transaction efficiency, strengthen the market supervision and further standardize the order of the stock house market. This week, the central policy focused on preventing debt risks and promoting industrial development. For example, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission stressed the need to handle the debt risks of large entity enterprises steadily, and some real estate enterprises put forward cashing plans for financial management and bonds to speed up the disposal of enterprise risks; On the other hand, the State Council issued the cold chain logistics development plan to speed up the improvement of relevant social development systems. Some real estate enterprises that have been deployed in this field may benefit. At present, the industry and financial policies are continuously adjusted, and the support of relevant policies may help some real estate enterprises to strengthen capital liquidity; The industry as a whole still maintains the tone of “no speculation in housing and housing” and “three stability”. Some real estate enterprises are expected to continue to maintain their competitive advantages of stable capital, resource endowment and stable business structure. Maintain the industry’s “stronger than the market” rating.
Risk tip: there may be some uncertainty in industry regulation and financing policies, which may affect the sales performance of listed companies; Macroeconomic fluctuations may have a certain impact on the operation of enterprises in the industry; Epidemic control is uncertain.
