——房地产行业周度观点更新：如何看待未来政策空间？-20251116

Investment Rating - The investment rating for the real estate industry is "Positive" and is maintained [14] Core Insights - The necessity for further relaxation of industrial policies is gradually increasing based on high-quality development and macro-prudential management. Conventional measures such as loosening purchase restrictions, moderate interest rate cuts, and tax incentives still have room for implementation. The current mortgage rates remain relatively high, especially for provident fund loans, which have significant optimization potential. On an extraordinary level, deep discounts on mortgage rates are needed, as the current discount levels are still significantly different from those in 2008-2009. Given the constraints of bank interest margins, additional subsidies from fiscal or central bank structural tools may be required. Furthermore, there is potential for further efforts in areas such as storage or old renovation. Conventional relaxations can temporarily alleviate downward pressure, while extraordinary measures can partially resolve deep-seated industry contradictions. Low interest rates are a necessary condition for structural stabilization in the industry, with remaining issues being macroeconomic in nature [3][12].
