Beijing rolled out a housing package on Aug 8 that eased purchase restrictions,
raised provident fund loan limits and loosened property-gift rules. Nearly one
month after the measures, new-home sales-office traffic and resale viewings and
deals have increased; Beijing Housing and Urban‑Rural Development Commission
data show August new-home online contracts 3,100 (+10.3% YoY) and second‑hand
online contracts 13,700 (+4.1% YoY). Second‑hand volumes have exceeded 13,000
for six consecutive months.
