Weekly view of the real estate industry: the housing construction work conference emphasizes risk prevention, and the reduction of LPR over 5 years promotes demand

Weekly view:

National Conference on housing and urban rural development: on January 20, the National Conference on housing and urban rural development was held in Beijing. It was proposed to adhere to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability in 2022 and focus on “increasing confidence, preventing risks, stabilizing growth, promoting reform and strengthening the team”. Among them, “risk prevention” emphasizes putting risk prevention and control in a more prominent position; “Steady growth” emphasizes the full release of residents’ housing demand.

Risk prevention is mainly to prevent the risk of overdue delivery of risk real estate enterprises. In order to alleviate the overall liquidity pressure of the industry, we expect that the government’s supervision of pre-sale funds of real estate enterprises with good credit and stable operation is expected to be loosened, but the supervision of risk real estate enterprises is strengthened, and the sales collection ability among real estate enterprises is further differentiated. We believe that the leading real estate enterprises with the advantages of financing and sales collection will be stronger, while the risky real estate enterprises will accelerate the liquidation and the industry structure will continue to be optimized.

The LPR over 5 years was lowered by 5 basis points: on January 20, the central bank announced the quoted interest rate (LPR) of the loan market. Among them, the 1-year LPR was 3.7%; The five-year LPR was 4.6%, down 5 basis points from the previous month, the first reduction since April 2020.

The decline of LPR for 5 years and above can drive the decline of mortgage loan interest rate, so as to reduce consumers’ house purchase cost and stimulate house purchase demand. We believe that under the background of reducing mortgage costs, the speed of mortgage delivery will continue to increase, driving the reversal and recovery of market outlook, so as to achieve the goal of steady growth.

We believe that in 2022, the real estate sector will usher in investment opportunities with continuous improvement of policies and continuous optimization of the competition pattern of real estate enterprises. Three main lines are recommended: 1) leading real estate enterprises under the structural differentiation of financing environment: Green City China, Poly Developments And Holdings Group Co.Ltd(600048) , China Vanke Co.Ltd(000002) ; 2) Regional deep ploughing private enterprises: Hangzhou Binjiang Real Estate Group Co.Ltd(002244) ; 3) High rated and stable private enterprises: Xuhui holding group, Seazen Holdings Co.Ltd(601155) .
