日前，有业内消息称，广州即将出台住宅报建新规，严厉打击"偷面积"行为。此次政策直指飘窗内凹设计、花池私改等乱象，明确规定未取得《建设工程 规划许可证》的项目需按新标准报建，已获批项目则可沿用原方案。 8月18日，《每日经济新闻》记者从多位业内人士处获悉，尽管广州尚未正式出台限制高得房率的措施，但目前已加强对项目报建的审批力度。相关部门 在收到项目报建后，严格按照各项规范从严审批。 "并非直接限制得房率，而是通过对建筑单位图纸的从严审核，确保住宅设计符合各项规范。审核变严后，基本难以实现此前120%～130%的超高得房 率。"有广州房企人士向每经记者表示。 "近期，各地陆续开始整治'偷面积'，好房子应在产品设计、社区服务、空间格局、绿色节能、配套服务等方面下功夫，而非仅在使用率上做文章，导致 新房对存量在售和二手房市场造成冲击。"8月19日上午，广东省城乡规划院住房政策研究中心首席研究员李宇嘉向每经记者分析指出。 该办法实施后，阳台面积占比从15%提升至20%，飘窗深度从60厘米扩展至80厘米，并允许设置一个满足连续开敞率不低于40%的主景观阳台，不限制其 进深。此后，市场逐步催生出一批得房率超100%的新规产 ...

Core Viewpoint - The Guangzhou government is set to implement new regulations aimed at curbing "area theft" in residential construction, which may lead to the end of new homes with over 120% efficiency rates [2][3]. Regulatory Changes - New regulations will target design practices such as recessed windows and unauthorized modifications to flower beds, requiring projects to adhere to stricter building standards [2]. - Although there are no direct restrictions on efficiency rates yet, the approval process for project submissions has become more stringent, making it difficult to achieve previous high efficiency rates of 120%-130% [2][5]. Market Dynamics - The trend of high efficiency rates in Guangzhou emerged after the implementation of the "Guangzhou Building Engineering Floor Area Ratio Calculation Method" in November 2023, which allowed for increased balcony area and deeper recessed windows [5]. - The competition for high efficiency rates has led to questionable practices among developers, such as disguising structural elements to evade area calculations, which raises safety concerns [7]. Impact on Housing Market - High efficiency rate projects have negatively impacted the existing new and second-hand housing markets, with some developers facing challenges due to new regulations [9]. - As of August 19, over 140,000 second-hand homes were listed in Guangzhou, with a significant portion being older properties with lower efficiency rates [8]. - New projects under the revised regulations have shown strong market performance, with some achieving over 70% sales rates shortly after launch [9]. Developer Behavior - Developers are adjusting their designs in response to stricter regulations, with some reducing building heights and eliminating certain features to comply with new standards [11]. - The tightening of regulations may lead to decreased enthusiasm among developers for acquiring land and launching new projects, as indicated by industry analysts [11].

Core Viewpoint - The auction result of a property in ChunYue JinLu, a relatively less popular residential project in Hangzhou, surprised many as it sold for significantly lower than its original price, indicating a potential market trend of declining property values in the area [1][5][11]. Property Details - The property auctioned was a 165.64 m² apartment that attracted six bidders and sold for 7.741 million yuan, translating to approximately 46,700 yuan per m². This is nearly 1.65 million yuan lower than its original listing price of 9.39 million yuan [5][12]. - The apartment features four bedrooms, two living rooms, three bathrooms, and a balcony, with high-quality finishes and amenities such as central air conditioning and a swimming pool in the community [6][11]. Market Analysis - The low auction price is attributed to several factors, including the property's location near busy highways, which contributes to noise pollution, and the overall market perception of the area as less desirable compared to other neighborhoods in Hangzhou [11]. - Despite being a newer project, ChunYue JinLu has seen limited activity in the secondary market, with only two transactions recorded in April and May, indicating a lack of demand [11][12]. Auction Context - The auction included two parking spaces associated with the property, which were sold separately. One parking space sold for 149,000 yuan, while the other went unsold [12].

Core Viewpoint - Local governments are optimizing land use value through regulatory adjustments in response to changing market conditions, leading to an increase in the number of re-listed plots after adjustments [1][2]. Group 1: Land Market Trends - There has been a notable increase in land plots being re-listed after regulatory adjustments, with examples from cities like Ningbo and Shenzhen where adjustments included increasing residential area and lowering height limits [2][3]. - The trend of regulatory adjustments has become a common practice in land sales this year, aimed at stimulating developer interest amid a relatively sluggish land market [2][4]. - Adjustments often involve lowering the plot ratio, reducing commercial land proportion, and increasing residential area, which enhances the attractiveness of the land for developers [2][8]. Group 2: Specific Case Studies - A specific case in Ningbo involved a plot that was originally sold for 30.3 billion yuan, later re-acquired for 18.17 billion yuan, and subsequently adjusted before being re-listed [3][4]. - In Shenzhen, a plot was successfully sold after adjustments that included a significant reduction in commercial land proportion and an increase in residential area, resulting in a 35% premium on the final sale price [3][4]. Group 3: Policy Support - The regulatory adjustments are supported by policies from the Ministry of Natural Resources and the National Development and Reform Commission, which encourage local governments to manage idle land effectively [5][9]. - The central government has emphasized the importance of revitalizing idle land and commercial properties, allowing for legal adjustments to planning conditions [9][10]. Group 4: Market Dynamics - The current market conditions indicate a 20-month inventory clearance cycle for new homes in major cities, suggesting ongoing pressure for developers to adapt to market demands [9]. - The adjustments not only optimize land use but also align with current housing demand trends, facilitating project development and providing more operational space for companies [9][10].
