Hangzhou published local implementation opinions to reform market-rate housing sales, covering tighter presale management, orderly promotion of completed-home sales, a sponsor-bank system, increased financing support, optimized land supply, allowance for phased project development, and staged completion filing. The guidance sets a policy cut-off: projects that obtained a construction planning permit on or before 28 Aug 2026 and choose to presell will remain subject to existing presale conditions and presale funds supervision. Projects that obtained state-owned construction land‑use rights on or before 28 Aug 2026 (including rights currently in transfer) but have not yet secured a construction planning permit will, in principle, be managed under presale rules applicable to newly acquired land projects.
