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%

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.

Relations between the real estate from the variable impact on the economy

-Action: The Relationship between variables influence on the economy of real estate

No matter what is in favor of or opposed to what should be reasonable, be logically correct, factually correct.

What is the relationship between variables? Variable relations in mathematics, also known as topology, that is an object of continuous deformation in space and time attached to the relationship between different variables. On the macro-economic terms, is to observe the major variables that affect the GDP, analysis of these variables and the relationship between GDP growth.

Let's look at the situation in 2008. 2008 GDP growth of 9.6%, down sharply over the 3.4 percent growth rate. Growth factor specific to the investment in fixed assets rose 25.5%, 0.7 percentage points over the previous year; the growth of total social retail 21.6%, 4.8 percentage points over the previous year; exports grew 7.24%, an increase of 13.21 percent over the previous year down . Only from these variables, it seems that lead to economic slowdown is mainly due to the export slowdown, or by the financial crisis.

However, if the notes in 2008 annual sales of new homes fell by 34.92 percent, while an increase of 13.5% over the previous year; noted that in 2008 the newly built commercial housing sales, declining by 19.5%, while an increase of 42.1% over the previous year; noted that the central bank had previously illogical personal mortgage interest rates significantly increased to 8.61%, it is not difficult to draw conclusions: in 2008 China's economic slowdown led to the real reason is that real estate over-tightening policy in a substantial decline.

Look at the situation again in 2009. 2009 GDP growth of 8.7%, down 0.9 percentage points over the previous year; fixed asset investment grew 30.1%, 4.6 percentage points over the previous year to speed up; social retail sales grew 15.5%, down 6.1 percentage points over the previous year; exports -16% , down 23.24 percentage points over the previous year; but only 82.8% of sales of commercial property (in 2009 4.4 trillion, in 2008 2.41 trillion), second-hand housing sales increase of more than 200% is.

For whom, we can not deny that real estate in today's pillar industry of China's economic role, unless he is a nerd, is subjective dogmatist, or ignorance, and emotional elements. My words are strong enough, but the character dictates, can not be changed. What men say, of course, sonorous, powerful, can not be submissive.

The past three years the proportion of bank loans to the houses, an average of only 2 percent

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

-Action: the last three years the proportion of bank loans for the houses, an average of only 2 percent

In recent years, an increase of the value of domestic household savings fluctuate significantly. According to data provided by the central bank website, the 2006 value of 2.05 trillion yuan increase, to 2007 dropped significantly from 1.09 trillion yuan, while in 2008 and then surged to 4.54 trillion yuan.

Why an increase of the value of domestic household savings will be like a tree monkey as Shangcuanxiatiao? Results of the analysis is that this is the relationship between commercial housing sales data are very close. From the state bureau of statistics, China has experienced residential sales increased slightly in 2006, the 2007 rate of increase jumped to 46.5%, while in 2008 an increase of -20.1%. It would appear that household savings are mainly used for Sellers not too little.

It is noteworthy that in 2008 domestic sales of domestic reason for such significant decline was mainly due to the financial crisis is not subject to outside influence, but the central bank from 2007 to December 21 of the several interest rate, commercial banks will be self-employed individual housing lending rate of 5.31% from the 2004 and 2005 to 6.12% significantly increased to 8.61%. Such a high mortgage interest rates, even if playing Jiuzhe, also means that the two settled into a down payment after 20 years together, the residents of the total debt service is equivalent to more than double the loan principal. This of course will be a severe blow to the enthusiasm of residents of purchase, the money can only deposit banks.

However, the central bank in 2007 excessive increases in interest rates in individual housing loans, in addition to domestic sales led to a substantial shrinkage of the domestic but also had another effect, which is the annual commercial banks to increase the value of individual housing loans and new loans in the year the same year, China accounted for the proportion of domestic sales (hereinafter referred to as "the year of exposure the houses") were significantly shrink. This is the proportion of buyers among the residents of the whole section up the results, but the whole paragraph is not necessarily a part of borrowing from banks other than (their business model see my previous Bowen: "must raise interest rates for mortgage loans to promote" conversion of silver "" ).

To Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, for example, 08 new individual housing loans 61.0 billion, compared with 126.1 billion yuan over the previous year, declining by as much as 52%. In the meantime, to 2008 sales of 2.04 trillion yuan of domestic residential computing, industrial and commercial bank "loans to the houses, the proportion of the year," only 2.99%, and in 2007 accounted for 4.93%.

With Industrial and Commercial Bank of China of the above, should be able to calculate all the commercial banks, "loans that year the proportion of the houses," the important data. As the domestic housing loans concentrated in industry, in construction of three lines, and other joint-stock banks, of which ICBC transaction volume to account for 22% of the total transactions, whereby all commercial banks in 2008 "the year the proportion of loans for the houses," should be less than 15%, in 2007 the level is merely 25%.

While in September 2008 after the central bank to gradually come to realize significant reduction in individual housing loan interest rates, and to offer a higher discount, does the promotion of commercial banks in 2009 new housing loans quick recovery, but according to my analysis, in 2009 the "year house sales exposure, "but a return to 2007 levels, which is about 25%.

That being said, the last three years, domestic commercial banks, "loans to the houses, then the proportion of" no more than 22%.

It should be said, both for the central bank, commercial banks, or developers, and residents of participating buyers, this is an important indicator of a help to decision-making.

The central bank is concerned, since the bank "year of exposure houses," so low down-payment ratio by limiting two suites to regulate domestic demand and the price is low efficiency. For commercial banks concerned, "the year of exposure the houses," the decline, in fact means that the domestic private lending for housing growth. The central bank and commercial banks must understand that to raise interest rates once again, there will be more mortgage loans from the bank lending flows Minjian, and in "the year the houses, loans Bili" After falling further weaken the monetary policy and the banking system Guonei residential Shi Chang influence.

The developer is concerned, the lower bank "loans that year the proportion of the houses," meaning how to encourage and strive for a higher proportion of all home buyers section will be that they build for the future of real estate development financing system of the main direction. Only in this way, developers can get rid of monetary policy and banking from the heavy shackles.

Residents in terms of participating buyers, the domestic household disposable assets increased year after year, under the circumstances, the use of mutual aid among relatives and friends to reduce borrowing for house purchase costs and the cost, obviously much more cost effective than the bank loan.

Of course, the above also implies that the domestic private hot money is not scarce, as you can into the property market, as long as the opportunity to mature into the stock market may not.

Interest rate mortgages will promote "Silver transferred to the people"

-Action: raise interest rates for housing mortgage loans is bound to "silver turn to the people"

Years ago Beijing set off a second-hand housing transactions boom, I scrambled the fun back. The houses, I gained a lot of knowledge. Buyer is a middle-aged couple from northwest China, is said to arrange for his son to Beijing to develop a foothold. I was surprised how much is actually paid by the other side is the entire paragraph. Under repeated inquired and learned that the couple have a public, not really very rich, the money mostly to buy a house just about friends and relatives.

Man of the house said to me, really can not afford to pay the full amount, but, instead of paying high interest to the bank, it is better to leave the family an opportunity to make money. In accordance with the bank deposit and loan spreads are calculated, friends and relatives at least 2.5 percentage points of spread income, the so-called outsiders field must not let opportunities.

Intermediary hearing about a similar situation is far from rare. I know that last year's transactions, commercial housing and bank mortgage, but the proportion accounted for more than two percent. Estimate the number of intermediaries is Kaopu if the.

I remember a few years ago, China had a very domineering central bank vice governor told the media: Do not game with the central bank. Why? Since it is a market economy, not to have different interests between the main game! Do you started this, people do 15, it is inevitable.

Borrowing in the past mainly in the business field, the corresponding risk is much greater. Today, there are umbrella of the central bank tightening to do, coupled with the mortgage bank to ensure the safety of rigid bottom so there is price for commercial housing in the private lending fast, and does great background.

For home buyers, it is clear paragraph to pay all transaction costs can be reduced, after all, total expenditure on higher mortgage can reach 20 years of commercial housing transaction price of 1.8 times.

Private loans for housing, credit terms, its income is obvious. To put it plainly, its business model is "determined to eat bank": your bank's home mortgage loans how high income, I have thick earnings.

However, for banks, the private lending for commercial housing, no doubt on the existing commercial banks personal housing mortgage loan system constitutes the impact of the more developed private lending, the greater the impact on banks.

I have no doubt that the central bank once the order into the new domestic rate hike cycle, the private lending for commercial housing will be closely followed and a higher position.

The amount of domestic sales of commercial property last year to 4.57 trillion, the amount of second-hand housing transactions has doubled to 1.5 trillion, the two combined 6.07 trillion. Such a huge market space, adequate development of the private lending. Not expected 5-year, commercial banks personal housing mortgage loans in the domestic market, the share of which is destined to decline.

This in turn would constitute what the Chinese financial impact?

Among other things, it can be concluded that the failure of monetary policy will be increasingly on the domestic financial market more and more dominant role is being undermined.

Equality before the yuan. Until we are all rich, then what the balance of interest are always a handful of people manipulating it!

On the domestic commercial housing mortgage loans, "Bank transfer to the people", here is a concept first put forward, it is worth taking in-depth discussion.

Why real estate is a pillar industry

Ching Yee: Why real estate is a pillar industry of China

What kind of real estate industry? What is so important to China's economic significance, and it really is not a pillar industry of China's economy?

For a long time around these problems, all controversial. Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in a report two years ago to openly oppose the views of the real estate as a pillar industry and has remained the same. In the long ago, chief economist of the National Unification Council is certainly a high profile real estate industry as a pillar of China's economic role.

Little attention, is not difficult to find these are the pros and cons from the real estate investment compared to the proportion of investment in fixed assets to define its importance. This is certainly a very one-sided, it can be said is wrong to grandma house.

Some people saw in the real estate industry on the iron and steel, building materials, chemicals, textiles, home appliances and other industries driving force of the final analysis, only circumstantial evidence only, not as a sign of recognition pillar industries.

Many times previously on many occasions to participate in the real estate seminar experience, I found many, including scholars, including even the real estate industry, what should be classified in which all carry her clear.

It is certain that, although the output is the direct contribution of land, but real estate is certainly not the first industry; Although the house is built out, but the output of home building and construction industry has statistics which can not be the second measurement, so Real estate is certainly not the secondary industry.

In fact, the nature of the real estate industry is not complicated. Since the industry to sell the land and the main house, so real estate can only belong to the tertiary industry. These include three levels, one level of land development and land transfer, and second, the two land development and new housing sales, third, second-hand housing sales.

This makes the real estate industry's GDP statistics can be accurately. On second thought, that can not have accurate statistics on gross domestic product in the field can not be considered a separate industry.

GDP for the statistics of real estate, we must first clear their financial flows. According to official disclosure of the data, in 2009, total national land transfer 1.5 trillion yuan, 4.4 trillion yuan newly built commercial housing sales. Both the data is clear, as sales of second homes, so far can not find national statistics totals. However, I would like to remind you that, if you do not know that second-hand housing sales, the importance of judgments relating to real estate are very inaccurate. Fortunately, this is to be projected.

According to Beijing Municipal Statistics, 2009, second-hand housing sales total 0.71 trillion yuan. Based on data provided by the National Unification Council, Beijing nearly three years of the new commercial housing sales accounting for 8.56% total number, or the National total sales of newly built commercial houses in Beijing's 11.68 times. This of course can be used as a reference to second-hand data. By inference, the national second-hand housing sales in 2009 should be about 8.29 trillion yuan.

The three levels of domestic economic flow of real estate in 2009 was 14.19 trillion yuan total, equivalent to the domestic retail sales in 2008 to 1.3 times the 2008 total sales of 6.16 times that of steel. Only from this perspective, the first issue of real estate as a pillar industry, no doubt.

However, since the flow rate of the GDP is the different nature of the two indicators, which only the former were less after the transfer of Value or Value into the wealth of added value. Therefore, the real estate market economic flow on the ratio of GDP to measure the importance of their industry, in theory is not accurate enough.

In accordance with the income approach, GDP, land transfer net of government which is GDP, land development which is paid to the amount of compensation in demolition most of GDP, the two combined to account for a large land transfer flow 90%. New commercial housing sales in the operating surplus which is GDP, some of which to pay taxes on behalf of the Government, as part owner of net profits, with sales of newly built commercial housing were paid to reward employees posed by the GDP, of which at least 30 % of GDP. Be noted that sales of newly built commercial housing costs among the land, as land transfer previous years, statistics have been done in previous years, coupled with its own input nature, therefore, not as the year's GDP output. As for the second-hand housing sales, is greater than the cost of spending part of their course GDP, and as property income, household income statistics in which urban residents. It is noteworthy that in 2009 the second-hand housing sales, profitability and more than 50% to 70%, the average should be no less than 60%.

Having said that, in 2009 the GDP contribution of the domestic real estate should be about 7.64 trillion yuan, of which land transfer link for the 1.35 trillion yuan, the new sales of commercial links for the 1.32 trillion yuan, second-hand housing sales link for the 4.97 trillion yuan , together accounting for 23% of the proportion of GDP.

So, even if 40% of the total contribution rate of GDP in 2008, 10.85 trillion yuan of total retail sales of the whole society, but the contribution to GDP was 4.3 trillion yuan, while the GDP contribution of the steel industry was only 0.92 trillion yuan.

It would appear that the real estate industry as a pillar of China's economy, but also controversial you!

Given China's industrialization and urbanization target not yet reached, in accordance with common international standards probably be achieved only in half, so that should not be considered as a pillar industry of real estate point of view, pure nonsense system.

Furthermore, the property of the government revenue higher contribution rate as an important source of transfer payments, but also narrow the gap between rich and poor, the main support. So, that accused the real estate industry as a pillar of the national tragedy can only say, is quite ignorant, and too tragic.

Incidentally, since the real estate As China's economy is so important, property stocks not worth the attention you stumped!
