楼市新政适时出台 新“国五条”引发地产股下跌

去年下半年以来，楼市开始触底反弹。今年初始，一月份全国百城房价环比上涨、春节楼市飘红、三大评级机构集体唱多中国楼市。在此情况下，楼市新政适时出台。

Beijing (CNS) -- Financial and property experts have begun weighing in on the influence of the latest housing market control policies since property shares plunged on Thursday.

Shares of most property developers fell after the State Council on Wednesday reiterated control policies and formulated five measures to tame the hot property market.

Zhang Hongwei, a chief researcher at Shanghai-based Tospur Consultancy, said the latest measures continue to curb speculative activity in the property market and extend support for owner-occupier demand. A looser trend of overall controls, combined with periodical tightening, will be seen in the future property market, he added.

Xu Feng, from the research department of Midland Realty, told reporters that commanding the price system will require more efforts from monetary policy and the macro-economy, besides property control policies.

The system of accountability highlighted in the new measures will urge local governments to better implement tightened housing market measures, said Ren Qixin, from the Yahao Real Estate Selling and Consulting Solution Agency.
