Housing supply to an increase or decrease

-Action: this year is to increase housing supply or decrease in

Land and Housing 2010, released by the Ministry for the program for many investors know the truth of the real estate stocks suffered some really frightened. God! Last year, the domestic real estate development enterprises combined area of land acquisition was only 31,900 hectares or 319.06 million square meters, can be to plan for this year's total surprise, housing up to 180,000 hectares or 18 million square meters, is 5.64 times the former. Some investors exclaimed, to substantially increase the land supply, housing prices had not climbed down to the beat. So, the news came out, property stocks plunged, investors Baotoushucuan.

This is a great misunderstanding.

Land Department to plan for public housing, is the total amount of housing land, most of which are not used for commercial housing development, that is not the most open market through auction to developers. According to Ministry of Land and news websites, 18 million hectares of total land available for housing among the security room space accounted for Bacheng. This means that developers will be available for purchase only 36,000 hectares of land, higher than the 2009 purchase of land area developers to 12.8%, but less than 08 developers purchased 36,800 hectares of land area 2.2%, less than 07 In developer land acquisition area of 40,200 hectares or 10.5%, the average annual land developers purchased the previous three years 99% of the area. Taking into account 06 ~ 2009 sales of commercial space up to 54.6% cumulative growth (2006 to 606 million square meters in 2009 to 937 million square meters), while the cumulative area of land acquisition developers increase of -13.32% (in 2006 to 368 million square meters in 2009 to 319 million square meters), a minus, indicating the year for developers to purchase the land area is relatively greatly reduced.

Since this year's acquisition of the land area available for developers compared to sales is much less, the kind that the future of commercial housing prices will drop significantly less than the views of the evidence. In order to infer the future performance of the slide in property shares the same view untenable.

Why, then, that huge increase in government policy outside the housing developers for the amount of it?

From the following set of data is not difficult to find the answer.

Since 2000, domestic commercial housing development will occupy an area of housing construction in general the situation is as follows:

Years
Area of commercial housing construction
Housing construction area
Proportion
2000

6.5897 million square meters
26.5294 million square meters of 24.84%

2001
7.7214 million square meters of 27.6025 million square meters of 27.97%

20029.4104 million square meters

30.4428 million square meters of 30.91%

200311.6907 34.3742 100 000 000 100 000 000 square meters square meters 34.01%

200,414.0451 100 million square meters
37.6459 million square meters
37.31%

200,516.4445 100 million square meters
43.1123 million square meters
38.14%

200,619.4090 100 million square meters
46.2677 million square meters
41.95%

200,723.6318 100 million square meters
54.8542 million square meters
43.08%

200,827.4149 100 million square meters

61.6528 million square meters
44.47%

2009
31.9600 million square meters
Source: National Bureau of Statistics

This set of data above shows that, with the commercial housing development in the gross domestic housing construction area increasing the proportion of non-commodity housing has continued to decline, resulting in more and more domestic residents, including low income levels of residents, have through had been rapidly rising property market to meet housing needs. To a large extent, the reason why domestic prices rose rapidly, housing prices rose too fast reason why the masses are very satisfied with the answer on this.

This shows that the reason for this massive expansion of government beyond the policy of housing developers for the program, mainly to compensate for the historical event of default, accumulated in previous years. However, too many outstanding loans, even though the policy this year to plan for massive expansion of housing is still far from meeting the real needs. This is why the majority of those surveyed think that the Government should also expand the housing supply of the main reasons of policy.

Next, as the expansion of housing supply after the policy can not meet the potential needs, together with housing policy purchasers or users and purchasers of commercial houses had existed between the significant income segment, it is difficult to expect land Department of Housing for the program can play the role of inhibition of property prices.

Released from the local government for the land plan, reports that Shanghai has announced for this year's housing program, at 1100 hectares (approximately by 3% over last year) of the total supply, the security room, studio commercial housing reform, and medium and small unit other three sites accounted for a total of 770 hectares; to include medium and small unit and "non-ordinary residence" of goods, including 400 hectares of residential land is only for the supply of four percent a year or so. This will definitely increase the demand and supply gap in Shanghai property market.

As for other means of inhibitory effect on property prices, based on past experience, I am afraid that rule this year, not next year rule. The so-called holding back urine, urinary 3 times a day and the day the results of urine 9 reduction in the number only, but the urine or as much.

There is no asset price bubble in China

Qing Yi: China's asset price bubble does not exist
[Japanese land price bubble burst in the real reasons (below)]

Fallen leaves will shatter the head? Frankly speaking, only those dissatisfied with a bottle, shake it all day in a half bottle things (children) do (children) of people would be face value. Worse, over-exaggerated the risk of the Chinese economy has become quite common in economic life phenomenon, including academics and decision-making. However, this does nothing to risk control, it touches will be a serious impediment to economic health.

Economists concerned about asset price bubble is actually paying attention to loan quality, and therefore decided to financial security. Loan quality is usually determined by the collateral. As a common collateral, land and stock prices is a measure of asset price bubbles and not. It said the asset price bubble, in fact, talking about the land price bubble and stock price bubble.

Yes, because in Japan most of the land as collateral for loans, while banks have a large number of holdings, land and stock prices rise over after the bubble burst there is indeed cause the Japanese economy since the nineties of the last century into a long-term downturn reasons. Land prices continued to fall by about collateral, banks surge in bad loans, to prevent further deterioration of the capital adequacy ratio, even if the long-term interest rate is zero, it can not prevent long-term loans of negative growth. This is the so-called zero interest rate Japan's economy, zero growth. However, the domestic equity as collateral for loans to be minimal, with a loan pledge of goods in the past, all for the price of equity is far below the market price of the Restricted Shares, and in calculating the value of the collateral Shi You are fully underestimated, no doubt, stock prices will not constitute a domestic asset price bubbles.

As for the land, taking into account the accumulated sales since 1986, commercial property (including commercial residential and commercial buildings) occupied 413 acres of land at best, even if two million yuan per mu according to the weighted average price calculation (previously used for commercial housing development The average land price of less than 100 yuan / mu, or even the year 2000 less than 500,000 yuan / mu), is private land holdings listed total assets total more than 8.3 trillion yuan, however, the corresponding premium rate (total premium on GDP ratio), only 25%, equivalent to only mature market one-seventh of the national average. For base reasons, the smaller base of assets and the land base of civil larger between GDP, even though the two annual growth rate of the same land ratio also decreased year by year. Therefore, there is no evidence that there exists land asset bubbles.

I would like to remind you that the premium rate to talk about aside land asset bubbles is not very professional.

Address the land ratio, the United States most years less than 100%, the UK most years 80% to 200% swing, while Japan rose in 1980 after more than 300%. According to Japanese scholars introduced in Japan in 1990, private land assets 2,400 trillion yen, equivalent to 341.14 trillion yen, then the official GDP statistics of 700%. Although the 1997 devaluation of land assets, to 1,700 trillion yen, but compared with the current GDP ratio as high as 441 percent premium.

Since 1986, total domestic sales of commercial area of 5.5 billion square meters, according to two times the average volume rate of land, occupied land area of commercial housing sold approximately 2.75 billion square meters in about, or about 413 million mu. It is worth noting in this commercial houses occupy 413 mu of land which have so far still in the proportion of multi-state collateral, but Liu Cheng, and mortgage of land replacement cost several times more than the cost of a mortgage or even 10 times. In this case, the private holdings of public land prices on the quality of bank loans is quite positive, where we talk about asset price bubbles!

To a large extent, not only the domestic private holdings of the current asset price of land there is no risk of a bubble, but a longer period of time in the future will not appear. The reason is the future trend of land prices are still rising, first transformation of the old with the relocation compensation costs which continue to promote the existing urban land prices, followed by rising food prices to promote the future of new urban land prices. On the other hand, the next 15 to 20 years as the expected increase in commercial housing land is 3 to 4 times the stock of the Government to increase land supply and land sales revenue growth, can also suppress the risk of domestic land assets price bubble to play an active effect.

From a psychological point of view, the reason that people exaggerate the risk, often due to lack of confidence, complacency or laziness. All these are unhealthy psychological characteristics.

Over-inflated asset price bubble in the domestic land-harm is: If you do not rush in labor costs due to the shortage of labor supply rose sharply prior to accelerate the commercial housing development, then, on the one hand all future construction materials will be accompanied by rising labor costs rise, so developers cost is high; the other hand, the current excess liquidity (the so-called lack of liquidity tightening is only man-made or create a false impression) will as the means of production and the overall rise in consumer prices, the evolution of the flow of depreciation as well as liquidity shortages, so that the purchasing power of existing commercial houses a substantial decline in the whole society. By that time, not only land be cut down, and commodity prices will rise a new retaliatory.

Vanke is how to keep up with the policy failures and a fall

-Action: how to keep up with the policy is a miscalculation of Vanke

Until November 2007, Vanke has been a leader in real estate stocks. In less than 30 months time, the share price from the 2005 end of 3.12 yuan soared 6-hoisting 40.78 yuan, the dynamic price-earnings ratio of 55 times. Subsequent disclosure of the 07 annual report, operating income and net profit surged 98.3% and the annual 110.8 percent, compared with the cumulative growth rate in 2004 were up 363.4 percent and 451.7 percent.

Unfortunately, starting from 2008, Vanke chairman Wang Shi in strong leadership, business strategy from the aggressive to passive and conservative, starting with the real estate control policies will be closely followed, throwing up high-profile "inflection point theory", the implementation of the so-called "No store, we did not cover their plate" and "rapid development, taking care to" line.

The results, in 2008 net profit Vanke 16.7% annual decline, in 2009, and excluding inventory write-back decline in value of investment income growth of operating profit after some 7.028 billion yuan, a year earlier by the same method of calculation of operating profit fell 7.9% .

It is worth mentioning that the performance had not Vanke 2008 landslide, but underestimating the property market situation in the wrong circumstances, because of big stock of provision for decline in value of 1.268 billion yuan was formed to judge the facts of man-made landslide. Here was called an error underestimated, not only because of price, after provision for the fall up instead of drop, but rose sharply, also based on the company's board of directors in 2009 will decline in value of some of the projects the fact that full back. No exaggeration to say, Vanke's performance really was Wang Shi unrealistic negative conservative strategy "Scrapped" for a while.

It should be said, Vanke's biggest miscalculation, the performance of the consolidated gross profit margin from 07 to 42% to 39% in 2008, and 2009 of 29.39%, of which 07 ~ 09 real estate gross margin was 30.49% in turn, 28.15% and 21.99%. This means that, compared to gross margin in 2007, 2009 Vanke 48.32 billion yuan of real estate reduces the profits earned 4.155 billion yuan revenue, net of income tax net profit of 3.116 billion yuan less money.

Why Vanke so miscalculated? Pick matters, said Wang Shi key "inflection point theory" and not to store with the rapid development of business strategy, revealed that he neglected land prices led to the replacement cost of land and therefore push up house prices surge in essence, not as many people touted as: "This person familiar with the property developers Road." Wang Shi like this, those who do not understand the rules that all day real estate industry mediated sucking chewing document cents, to talk nonsense of the generation, but also when any of! The so-called national media bombarded for 14 days of high prices, but only civil servants buy a house well below the market price of this very long-standing injustice that no one theory, what is this shit logic!

Vanke in 2007 calculated at current settlement area of land reserve was 4.63 years (at the end of interest in building reserves of 18.21 million square meters area, then clearing an area of 3,937,000 square meters), in 2008 dropped to 3.97 years, while building equity at year-end 2009 reserve area increased to 24.36 million square meters to 4.03 years after the rebound, but the sales area of 6.636 million square meters in accordance with terms of land reserves was only 3.67 years, if the 2010 plan in accordance with construction area of 8.55 million square meters of new terms, the land reserve rate is only 2.85 years, or only to maintain 285 years of continuous development cycle.

In my previous article discussed the relationship between the price of land replacement cost and, after net friend message in my blog: "The favor of the teacher on the 'From this point of view, continued rapid rise in domestic land as the background, the developer or the earned little money, because of the rise in replacement cost profit was largely formed by sharing buyers' argument, I bought a house in 2004, priced 1,370 yuan, are at least 3900, I made two times, developers are also 100% profits No more than I earn. prepared to go across the district loans are priced 5,400 yuan to buy a multi-floor, to the elderly living at home. "

Vanke's miscalculation in this was given away.

Not store or reserve rate has dropped to the same time rapid development, doubled up as the replacement cost of land, 21.99 percent of the gross profit margin means that the land after Vanke up the replacement cost according to calculations, a square room to sell at least 1,500 yuan loss . Of course the historical cost of land replacement cost and the difference between the profits earned by property buyers go, the less a square meter to five thousand dollars was earned.

Some may say this is helping me Vanke Sellers. Help to help it, but only if it is Wang Shi must first correct the error line, or Vanke's performance after 2010 outlook remains bleak.

The reason why Vanke's performance after 2010 outlook bleak, but not 2010, because the balance on the previous year's sold settlement area and the contract amount is not more substantial, and the average price was 10,208 yuan contract / square meter, more than 2009 28% higher average price settlement, plus 2008's 1.268 billion yuan provision for decline in value of inventory remaining half, we call back, the company's performance in 2010 growth is still quite good.

By the way, with China Vanke, compared the rate of land reserves, South Building in 2009 calculated at current settlement area of land bank rate up to 19.85 years at current sales area is calculated as 13.02 years, according to plan new construction area in 2010 is calculated as 8.18 In. Needless to say, since South Africa taking in the previous construction cost or historical cost is very low, the replacement cost multiplied up, driven by the performance of the company's future growth prospects good to be pleasantly surprised. This is also why I gained a firm bullish on the potential of South-building reasons.

Vanke perhaps not quite so, but not take years to catch up with the surging real estate company China Vanke out.

Rising commodity prices, where government responsibility

Ching Yee: rising commodity prices, where government responsibility

Good government is shirking its responsibility not the government. In big government, the context of small markets, domestic commodity prices continue to rise residential responsibility comes down to whether the market is still down to the government, which originally was a difficult question to answer.

Unfortunately, a long time, the government's actions at the policy level, the market has reflected an enemy, repeatedly stressed the rapid rise in prices of commercial housing developers and home buyers because of the speculation, so the price the responsibility of continuing high overall push to the market, but only remember a review should be the responsibility of their own.

Is the Government really can shirk responsibility for it? The answer of course is no.

Looking around the world, both in mature market economies, or economies in transition, residential demand can not and should not be met entirely through market means. Which way the market corresponding to the commercial housing, corresponding to non-market approach is to protect the house. Population growth, especially driven by urbanization, population structure, economic situation, whether in prosperity or depression, domestic demand is always rigid. This determines the way the market that can not be liable to commercial housing to meet housing needs must be by the Government through non-market approach to the protection of housing to meet, also decided among the commercial houses and security room should maintain a proper ratio, otherwise the price of commodity houses inevitable volatility, and thus increase the whole society on the housing dissatisfaction.

As a planned economy to a market economy in transition economies, the problem of key domestic residential, Zheng Fu Guo Cheng Zhong could not properly cope with transformation between commercial houses and Bao Zhang Housing proportional relationship Biao Xian Wei repeated tightening security over the supply room, Poshi should follow the original Bu ways to meet the market demand for housing residents were driven to commercial housing market, so demand for commercial housing prices in the over-stimulated growth of abnormal rise. There is no doubt, due to commercial housing and the protection of the proportional relationship between house severely damaged, over rising commodity prices is not the primary responsibility for the market, should rather more by the government.

Before 1985, the domestic housing market is almost non-existent goods, all residents of the housing problems are to be addressed through the security room, the statistics show a ratio of 100 percent protection room. To 1986, completed the domestic residential area of 1.205 billion square meters of total sales of commercial property area of only 18.35 million square meters of commercial housing by seven as calculated, then the total commercial residential or residential commercial residential rate ratio of 1.07%.

10 years later, in 1996 completed the domestic residential square meters total area of 1.219 billion, while sales of commercial property rose to 68.98 million square meters area, as calculated by seven become a commodity residential, residential commercial rates to 3.96%. In another 10 years, and in 2006 completed the domestic residential area of 1.314 billion square meters of total, domestic sales of goods rose to 606 million square meters area, 10-year cumulative increase of up to 779 percent, while the protection of housing supply from 10 years ago to 1.15 billion square meters of atrophy to 890 million square meters below the fold so large domestic commercial rate raised to 32.28%.

By 2007, China completed a total area of housing increased to 1.463 billion square meters, though, but the area ahead of commercial residential sales rose to 774 million square meters, of which approximately 5.5 billion square meters of residential, commercial residential rate which makes the re-raised to 37.6%. View of the area of commercial housing were sold in 2009 and further increased to 937 million square meters, of which not less than 700 million square meters of residential, believe that commercialization of the domestic rate of residential break 43%. However, even in developed economies, domestic commercial rates reach this level, many only about three percent.

Overall, from 1986 to 2009, domestic sales of domestic product increased 509 times the total area, while from 1986 to 2008, completed the domestic security residential area of 22.56% cumulative decline. Taking into account the same period the urban population by the rapid growth of 264 million to 6.1 million, due to security room formed by shrinking the supply of housing shortage problem is very prominent. Thus, the commercial housing prices have risen steeply down to the responsibility of commercial housing and the protection ratio between housing imbalance and the government does not properly protect the housing supply crunch, is totally established.

Usually a person's good or bad according to his ability to take responsibility for others to judge. By inference, on the middle and low income housing needs of the responsibility of government to protect the rich, long-term protection of housing supply contraction laissez-faire, especially given the protection of housing supply, urban population growth is relatively rapid decline, while allowing domestic commercial rate of abnormal increase can not said to be a great mistake. I have considered this point was very polite.

No exaggeration to say that if the government can not guarantee the domestic commercial housing and the ratio between house restored to an appropriate level of commercial housing prices rose too fast the whole problem will not solve the long-term. According to the current level of national income estimates, the total newly added commercial residential proportion of new residential or residential commercial rate should be controlled at 25%, which is over 43% of the current commercial rate compared to the domestic housing is clearly there huge gap.

Government has no sincerity to solve the housing problem poor households

Qing Yi: Government has no sincerity to solve the housing problem poor households

7 auction in Beijing today, the total turnover 7.63 billion yuan, plus the previous 35 billion yuan, up to now, only residential land auction Beijing has more than 42.6 billion yuan revenue. This represents total annual revenue from land sales can be even less upfront investment reached 100 billion yuan.

100 billion yuan to cover the number of Anju Fang? By 70 square meters per household, 1900 yuan per square meter construction cost (the standard should not be low), land and related costs 1,000 yuan terms, 100 billion yuan to build 50 million Anju Fang, 500,000 poor families to solve the housing problem . Having said that, within three years, Beijing can periodically eliminate poverty housing.

Housing project should be the Government pays the money, of course. From the above situation, the Government is not no money, but money does not intend fully to solve the housing problem for poor families.

A clear and unmistakable error is that the current government has repeatedly claimed to suppress commercial housing price, totally ignored the input of funds should come from housing projects, the housing market can only come from a very simple truth.

Earlier I said that rising commodity prices, I applaud. Since the commercial housing market demand, the more housing prices rise as house sold sooner, why not encourage developers build more house? Why is the central bank has repeatedly suppressed developer loans demand? Why not find ways to stimulate the rapid development of the domestic housing market, and then faster and better families in poverty housing problem?

Some netizens commented that: no one complained about housing prices in Singapore. Yes, because there is money to build a house for the poor, the same money from the rich to buy a house.

Even to sell more commercial housing prices may decline, thus threatening the safety of the banking system's credit, but if so solve the housing problems of poor families, are not Amitabha, an extremely important thing? Stumped more money should be conveyed to the Americans to use only reasonable that you!

In fact, even if the goods 100% annual growth rate of residential land, housing prices will not fall, after all, the prices of steel and other building materials rising, the only developer profit margin may be decreased. This is of course not be a bad thing. The central bank worried about falling house values, simply much ado about nothing, or more seriously is forgetting what is right, of heartless.

In accordance with the price of iron ore rose 50 percent a year (this year to rise 90 percent) projected to accelerate housing projects not now, three years after the housing cost may double.

We must see the true face of the current tightening policy: to ignore the interests of the poor people, especially the cost to blindly hoarding liquidity in the end finally to the depreciation value, which will end up liquidity. By that time, the chickens flew, eggs have played to see how you explain to the people.

All in all, not to poor people's interests first, without any merit at all power.
