城投手里那么多的地,该怎么办?

说到存量土地的大户,就不得不提大家这几年所熟知的城投公司。 自2021年开始,房企拿地积极性下降,城投就变成了多个城市土拍的主力军,拿地规模一直居高不下 众所周知,今年地产行业最重要的目标之一就是"去库存"。 不光要抓紧去化数量巨大的存量商品房,还要处置规模更为庞大的存量土地。 尤其在三四线城市,直接差不多快要承包了整个土地市场(详见:《城投公司快要承包整个土地市场了》)。 但是最近我们发现,各地城投公司现在又有了新的变化。 一 终于,城投拿地也开始锐减了。 据CRIC统计,2024年全国重点30城的城投拿地占比高达64%,一举来到了近几年的最高点。 不过今年形势发生了极剧变化,城投从各地的土拍名单中退潮了。一季度,全国重点30城的城投拿地总建面不足2000万平方米,占比更是大幅下降,已经 回落到了50%的水平。 进入4月,全国22城市区共出让涉宅地73宗,总出让金为871.4亿元。 城投类企业拿地金额只有219.8亿元,占比进一步下滑到了25.2%。 具体来看,深圳和广州两大一线城市较为突出。 深圳过去含住宅地块出让较少,而且较多都是租赁用房地块,所以城投拿地占比长期在50%以上。 到目前为止,深圳只卖了龙 ...
