Zhou’s view of the real estate industry: cutting interest rates and reducing house purchase costs are expected to boost market demand

Weekly view:

The central bank lowered the five-year LPR: on May 20, the people’s Bank of China authorized the national interbank lending center to announce that the quoted interest rate (LPR) of the loan market was: the one-year LPR was 3.7%, which remained unchanged; The LPR over 5 years was 4.45%, 15 BP lower than the previous value.

Based on the adjusted five-year LPR, the lower limit of the first home loan interest rate was reduced to 4.25%. We believe that after the LPR reduction, the space for the reduction of mortgage interest rates in various regions will be further expanded, which is conducive to reducing the purchase cost of consumers, so as to promote the bottom recovery of market prosperity.

The commercial loan interest rate of the first house is 20 basis points lower than that of LPR: on May 15, the central bank and the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission jointly issued a notice that the lower limit of the commercial individual housing loan interest rate of the first house is adjusted to not less than the market quotation interest rate of the corresponding term, and the lower limit of the commercial individual housing loan interest rate of the second house is implemented in accordance with the current provisions.

Compared with local policies, the top-down national credit policy relaxation has released a more positive signal. Due to the city’s policy, many cities have adjusted the identification standards of the first suite. Therefore, we believe that this policy not only reflects the need to meet the rigid housing needs of consumers, but also reflects the support for the demand for improved housing.

We believe that there has been no substantial improvement in the current total data, and the regulation policy is still dominated by a loose rhythm. At the same time, the marginal improvement of the operation quality and sales scale of some high-quality enterprises is obvious. Under this environment, we continue to recommend three main lines: 1) the dilemma reversal enterprise that makes the most of the bad in the early stage and benefits from the optimization of the centralized land supply policy: Vanke A; 2) Leading real estate enterprises under the continuous improvement of competition pattern: Green City China, Poly Developments And Holdings Group Co.Ltd(600048) ; 3) High rated steady operation private enterprises: Hangzhou Binjiang Real Estate Group Co.Ltd(002244) , Xuhui holding group.
