七天国庆长假结束,中国度假者们将发现房市又变得严峻了。截至周日,宣布限购房屋的城市数量已上升到9个。
Chinese vacationers thinking about buying a home will come back to a stricter market when they return from the seven-day National Day Holiday. The number of cities announcing restrictions on property purchases rose to nine on Sunday. The restrictive measures include a rise in the minimum down payment and cap on the number of residential properties each family is allowed to buy.
Beijing was the first to announce such policy among the nine while Wuhan in central China is the latest. New rules issued by the local governments aim to halt soaring prices stoked by speculators.
