Do you think the policies really work?
Aug 15, 2010 03:57
guestJack From April, China has introduced a series of measure to cool down the property market. In terms of floor area sold, transactions fell by 29 per cent in July from the month before, with many buyers remaining on the sidelines. On the other hand, House prices in 70 biggest cities were flat in July compared to the month before, having fallen 0.1 per cent in June.

Obviously, the dramatic prices drops most people have expected didn’t happen. The policies seem to have worked but the influence is not as big as we think.

At this moment, China Real Estate Association suggests the State Council stop issuing new policies to cool down the real estate market. The suggestion has annoyed many people. The public are still dissatisfied about the current policies. You see, they don’t work effectively.

Although house prices are increasing crazily, people still want to buy one and are willing to be house slaves. Why? The house is a necessity. The developers know this and make good money from it. We can not expect all people stop buying houses. This is impossible. But we can expect the government take their responsibility to control the house prices.

If people can not find a place to live, the result will be horrible.

GUESTJIMMYB It is said that China is going to levy property tax in the near future. The purpose is the same, crontroling the housing prices. The property tax might be firstly levied on the second-hand housing trades.

Like all bubbles, it will burst either by design or by accident eventually.
