媒体聚焦丨央视国际（CGTN）就房地产政策采访我院陈珠明教授

The property market is warming up in the southern Chinese metropolis of Guangzhou after the city rolled out a series of measures in recent months. 

A series of policies have been introduced in Guangzhou in recent months to encourage home buying. This includes lifting purchasing restrictions in specific areas of the city and allowing people to buy unlimited housing units in four more districts, namely Huangpu, Huadu, Panyu and parts of Baiyun. This makes Guangzhou the first first-tier city in China to partially lift such restrictions.

From lifting purchasing restrictions and relaxing requirements for non-registered Guangzhou residents, to easing rules on mortgages, Guangzhou has introduced a raft of policies in the span of just two months.

China's property industry has faced challenges in recent years, especially in non-first-tier cities, as house prices have been decreasing. 

PROF. CHEN ZHUMING School of Business, Sun Yat-sen University "Another important factor is the lack of consumer confidence. When you want to buy something, and the price is decreasing, your purchasing pace will surely slow, right? You may wonder if it has hit the bottom. Why not wait a little longer?"

Regarding the future of the property market, Professor Chen believes a decrease in housing prices is inevitable. 

PROF. CHEN ZHUMING School of Business, Sun Yat-sen University "It's certain that housing prices will decrease, as the overall demand for housing is certainly declining, which is a fact nobody can deny. However, our central government's policy is clear: it aims to prevent excessive decline."

Analysts predict more Chinese cities will introduce policies to encourage home buying in the near future.
