  Screen shot

  In 2021, Shanghai will further promote the healthy and stable development of the real estate market, strengthen policy coordination, deepen and improve the linkage mechanism between housing and finance.

  On April 23rd, Shanghai Housing Authority officially issued the Work Summary of Shanghai Housing Authority in 2020 and Work Plan for 2021 (hereinafter referred to as the Plan), which plans to summarize the work in the past year and deploy the real estate work plan for this year.

  "2021 is ‘ Fourteenth Five-Year Plan ’ In the first year, the field of housing management is related to economic development and people’s livelihood and welfare. Real estate should be ‘ The 14th Five-Year Plan ’ Service, while serving, also needs to solve the practical problems of living and living in Yi’ an. " Industry analysts said.

  This year, the real estate regulation will be more complete, and the special inspection will consolidate the regulation effect or normalize it.

  For the work plan for 2021, the Plan is clear and promotes the healthy and stable development of the real estate market. Firmly adhere to the positioning of "houses are used for living, not for speculation", improve the long-term mechanism for the stable and healthy development of the real estate market in accordance with the requirements of "one city, one policy", continue to highlight the word "stable" and focus on "stabilizing land prices, housing prices and expectations". Strengthen policy coordination, deepen and improve the linkage mechanism between housing and property, and improve the linkage mechanism between housing and finance.

  Yan Yuejin, research director of the think tank center of Yiju Research Institute, said that the statement of the Shanghai Housing Authority fully shows that regulation will continue to be strict. It can be seen from this year’s work plan that this year’s real estate market regulation will be more complete, especially in the aspects of strengthening policy coordination, establishing various linkage mechanisms and consolidating existing regulation measures.

  At the same time, the "Plan" mentioned that this year, the housing purchase restriction and differentiated housing credit policies will be strictly implemented, and the management of commodity housing sales will be strengthened. Strengthen market supervision, carry out special rectification of market order, and severely investigate and deal with all kinds of illegal acts. Strengthen monitoring and early warning and public opinion guidance, and pay attention to risk prevention.

  "This shows that on the basis of the original regulation, a wave of major inspections will be formed, including the sales management of commercial housing mentioned in the plan, which will have a positive impact on the subsequent real estate trading market."Industry analysts said.

  Yan Yuejin pointed out that Beijing has recently clarified the inspection of real estate order and carried out 12 inspections and supervision in the fields of rent and purchase, which is of great significance. This also shows that on the basis of implementing the existing regulatory policies, it is necessary to really consolidate the regulatory effect through inspection and prevent the regulatory policies from going out of shape. For the Shanghai market, this statement also fully demonstrates the positive orientation for market stability. Through inspection, we can find some ways to continue to exploit policy loopholes, which is helpful to prevent market risks and promote the stable and healthy development of the market. For the relevant housing enterprises and intermediaries, the recent marketing and management work really needs to be standardized to truly respond to Shanghai’s various regulatory spirits.
