Weekly report of the real estate industry: the central bank lowered the reserve requirement, and more cities relaxed the purchase and sale restrictions

This week’s core view: the central bank lowered the reserve requirement and all departments continued to deepen the implementation of the steady growth policy. Premier Li Keqiang’s speech set the tone for the policy to continue to relax, all localities continued to expand the policy relaxation, more cities relaxed the purchase and sale restrictions and reduced the down payment ratio, and the policy level was transmitted to the first and second tier regions, the Yangtze River Delta and other higher-level regions. This week, the transaction area of new houses began to grow, the year-on-year increase of first, second and third tier cities narrowed, and the month on month increase was positive. The second-hand housing market has warmed up, the overall price decline has increased, the price decline in the first tier cities has increased significantly, the price decline in the second tier cities has increased, which has returned to positive year-on-year, and the increase in the third tier cities is slightly lower than that in the second tier cities. In terms of land, the supply and transaction area decreased significantly this week, the change of supply-demand ratio was small, and the overall premium rate and sub urban energy level decreased significantly. The total amount of bonds issued this week increased, the amount of debt repayment decreased, the net financing amount rebounded, but it was still negative, the number of trust issues increased and the amount increased. On the whole, due to the impact of the epidemic and the overall environment, there is still a certain gap in the equivalent ratio of sales, land and inventory this week, but there has been a certain increase compared with last week.

Key policy analysis: this week, the policy has been transmitted from the local to the central government again, and the central government has set the tone for the policy relaxation of this cycle. After the central government continues to set the loose tone for the policy this time, the policy will continue to complete the central to local transmission, or more cities will continue to introduce favorable policies, the energy level of policy cities will continue to improve, the policy strength will continue to increase, and the policy scope will change from one-way to comprehensive. After the RRR reduction, banks will further increase their support for real estate enterprises on the capital side, and the subsequent interest rate reduction will also play a positive role in reducing financing costs for enterprises, improving residents’ purchasing power and purchase intention. However, the main reasons affecting the current property market are the combined influence of several major factors, resulting in insufficient market confidence and decline in expectations. This RRR reduction can not play a great role, but more of a signal of policy relaxation. This week, the relaxation of real estate policies across the country continued to increase, and more cities relaxed the purchase and sale restrictions. On the one hand, the relaxation policy has been transmitted to hot second tier cities and some areas of first tier cities. Since the Yangtze River Delta is the key area and wind vane of the national real estate market, this policy relaxation will play a positive role in the continued relaxation of other cities and the recovery of market confidence. On the other hand, Nanjing, Suzhou and Shanghai all chose a small-scale pilot relaxation in the periphery of cities, which was in line with the expectation of steady growth and left room for further relaxation of follow-up policies.
