TREE NEWS update: Chongqing’s housing and construction authorities, together with other departments, issued implementation opinions on commodity housing sales that strengthen pre-sale management, roll out completed-home sales in an orderly manner and introduce a deposit system for completed-home sales. The measures also cover financing support, supporting facilities, streamlined project approval and tighter market supervision across six areas. The policy was published by the municipal housing and construction commission and partner departments.
Chongqing introduces new rules for commodity housing sales, including deposit system for completed-home sales
Chongqing's package signals a shift in how Chinese cities are trying to rebuild confidence in a battered property market, moving risk away from buyers by tying sales to completed homes rather than unfinished projects. The deposit system for completed-home sales is the detail worth watching: it changes the cash-flow timeline developers depend on, which matters most for smaller builders with thinner balance sheets. Whether other cities follow Chongqing's approach, and how developers adapt financing to the new sequencing, is the open question.
