Zhengzhou City Unveils Support Measures for Real Estate Market
On August 3, the Zhengzhou authorities announced several policy adjustments med at supporting its real estate market. These measures include decreasing mortgage rates and down payment ratios, as well as reducing housing transaction taxes. The changes were unveiled by the Zhengzhou Housing Regulatory Department in a late evening announcement.
This move signifies the first step taken by major cities following recent signals from policymakers that they need to adapt their property policies promptly and effectively based on significant shifts in market supply and demand conditions.
Nomura, a leading financial services firm, expressed optimism towards these measures in their research note dated August 4. The note stated that the easing of property restrictions might well be warmly received by markets and that other Tier-2 cities might follow suit with similar support initiatives.
However, Nomura also rsed concerns regarding potential impacts of this decision. They pointed out the possibility of demand being drned from lower-tier cities since they account for 70 of national new home sales volume-driving factors behind commodity demand and construction activities. The note further cautioned that merely easing restrictions on existing home sales without lifting purchase limitations could add supply pressure, potentially leading to suppressed property prices.
On August 3, the Governor of China's central bank promised to channel more financial resources towards private companies including real estate firms. This comes as a backdrop where the demand for the sector-a significant contributor to economic growth-has remned weak recently. Property sales from May to June showed their largest monthly drop this year based on floor area data.
The Politburo, China's highest decision-making body of the ruling Communist Party, has called for adjustments in property policies which need to be implemented promptly and flexibly based on market conditions as noted last month.
