TREE NEWS update: On September 5, Haikou’s housing authority issued new measures to stabilize the property market. Those registered in Hainan can buy homes on equal terms with residents from the date of registration, effective immediately. Active-duty military personnel in Hainan and employees of companies registered there, who actually work and live in Hainan, are also eligible to purchase one home in Haikou. Families with two or more children may buy an additional home beyond current limits.
Haikou Real Estate: Hukou Holders Get Equal Home-Buying Rights
This move signals a targeted relaxation in Haikou's property policy, broadening demand by aligning Hukou holders with residents and adding specific exemptions for military and corporate staff. The inclusion of multi-child families as a qualifying factor reflects a demographic angle to stabilize the market. The immediate effect likely centers on boosting transaction volumes among eligible groups, though the broader impact on price stability remains to be seen. What matters next is whether other Hainan cities adopt similar measures, which would indicate a regional policy shift rather than an isolated adjustment.
