E China's Hangzhou lifts housing purchase limits (2/2)

Photo taken on May 18, 2014 shows a sales promotion advertisement at a housing sales office in Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang province. The housing security and management bureau of Hangzhou lifted three-year-old restrictions on homes smaller than 140 square meters from Aug 29 due to sluggish sales and overstock. China's property market saw a weak first half of the year, prompting dozens of cities nationwide to remove housing purchase limits in a bid to revive sales and boost the economy.
