房屋保险制度箭在弦上，保什么，如何保

Core Viewpoint - A new transformation is emerging in the field of housing safety management, with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development advocating for the establishment of three key systems: housing inspection, housing safety management funds, and housing insurance, to provide institutional support for the safety management of housing throughout its lifecycle [1][2]. Group 1: Housing Insurance System - The housing insurance system is a focal point of attention, especially given the large number of aging urban homes in China, with nearly 20% of existing homes built over 30 years ago as of the end of 2022. By around 2040, it is expected that nearly 80% of homes will be considered "old" [2]. - The implementation of a housing insurance system is seen as urgent to manage and transfer housing risks, thereby protecting residents' interests and preventing social risks [2][3]. - Currently, there is no unified model for housing insurance in China, and it is generally defined as providing risk protection for homes through insurance purchases, with compensation for losses or damages according to contractual agreements [2][3]. Group 2: Current Developments and Challenges - Various regions have initiated pilot programs related to housing safety insurance, such as Guangzhou's implementation plan for housing safety insurance set to be further developed between September and December 2025, and Dongguan's "Fanguanjia" comprehensive housing insurance pilot [3]. - Experts indicate that the current state of housing insurance in China is still in its infancy, facing challenges such as limited product variety and coverage compared to more mature markets abroad [3][4]. - The existing housing insurance system is primarily government-driven, with potential future funding from government subsidies or increased returns from dedicated maintenance funds [6]. Group 3: Differences from Home Insurance - Housing insurance differs from traditional home insurance, which primarily covers household property, including homes, against losses from incidents like fires or natural disasters. In contrast, housing insurance focuses on the structural quality risks of the home itself and compensates for losses due to aging or structural issues [4][5]. - Home insurance is a purely commercial product, while housing insurance is expected to become a policy-driven insurance, potentially with government subsidies for premiums [4][5]. Group 4: Industry Collaboration and Future Directions - The development of a robust housing insurance system in China requires collaboration among various stakeholders, including raising public awareness of the importance of housing insurance and encouraging insurance companies to develop more personalized products [6]. - There is a need for supportive policies, such as tax incentives, to promote the growth of housing insurance, as well as collaboration between insurance companies and local governments to advance the establishment of the housing insurance system [6].
