China Tells

The recent tightening measure from the central government in the property sector has brought some hope for those who are still short of a flat. People hope that the tightening measure could bring down the housing price so that they can afford a home. On the other hand, however, the reality is that the supply of housing in first tier cities is quite tight and has never been improved. Probably this is how the property developers deal with the sometimes unpredictable policies from the government and keep their margin elevated.

中国一线城市的房屋供给从来没有宽松过。特别在上海，空房存货常年被维持在2个月左右。这可能就是房地产商维持高房价的秘密武器之一。
