多地派发购房补贴，最高可达7万元

Core Viewpoint - Dongguan has introduced significant real estate policies aimed at boosting market confidence through various measures, including home purchase subsidies and increased housing provident fund support [1][3]. Demand-Side Measures - The new policy includes a temporary home purchase subsidy of 2% of the total contract price, capped at 30,000 yuan, for buyers of newly built commercial housing who complete contracts and pay taxes by March 31, 2026 [1][3]. - The maximum loan amount for first and second homes has been raised to 1.5 million yuan, with a 50% increase in loan limits for those purchasing designated affordable housing [3][4]. - The criteria for recognizing first-time homebuyers have been adjusted to focus on the location of the purchased property rather than the entire city [3]. Supply-Side Measures - Dongguan has implemented a mechanism to adjust land supply based on the inventory and absorption rates of new commercial housing, pausing new land sales for residential and commercial properties if the absorption period exceeds 36 months [4][6]. - The aim is to reduce new housing supply to alleviate inventory pressure and stabilize market expectations [4]. Market Context - The backdrop for these policies is a sluggish real estate market, with a 55% decrease in new residential supply and a 12% drop in residential transactions in August 2023 compared to the previous month [6]. - The average price of second-hand homes fell to 13,400 yuan per square meter, marking a 3% decline and the lowest monthly average in five years [6]. Broader Trends - Other regions in China, such as Henan and Fujian, are also implementing similar home purchase subsidies to stimulate the real estate market, indicating a nationwide trend to support housing demand [8][9]. - The effectiveness of these subsidies is seen as potentially short-term and localized, with long-term market stability dependent on broader economic factors [9].
