Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent decision by real estate platforms in Shanghai, including Lianjia and Beike, to remove historical transaction prices for second-hand homes, requiring buyers to inquire directly with agents for specific pricing information [1][6]. Group 1: Market Trends - In July, the Shanghai second-hand housing market saw stable transaction volumes, with 18,515 units sold, and the viewing volume remained unchanged [5]. - The market is characterized by a significant demand from first-time buyers and young families, particularly for properties priced below 3 million yuan, indicating a sensitivity to total price [5]. - The trend of diverse improvement customer groups is emerging, but it has not yet formed a substantial scale effect due to the ongoing popularity of high-end new projects in the new housing market [5]. Group 2: Data Accessibility - As of August 14, platforms like Lianjia and Beike in Shanghai have removed access to historical transaction prices, while Shanghai Zhongyuan Real Estate still allows users to view historical transaction data, including price, area, and transaction date [1][3]. - Other cities such as Beijing, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou have also restricted access to historical transaction prices on similar platforms, while Dalian continues to display prices prior to July 29 [7]. Group 3: Expert Opinions - Analysts suggest that the removal of historical transaction prices may influence buyer behavior differently depending on market conditions; during a rising market, it may encourage buyers to rush in, while in a declining market, it may deter them from entering [6].

Core Insights - Shanghai Lianjia has officially hidden all historical transaction prices for second-hand homes, following similar actions in 15 other cities including Wuhan, Hefei, Nanjing, and Beijing [1] Group 1: Market Changes - The current backend system allows agents to query transaction prices, but users cannot access this information on the front end [1] - In addition to transaction prices being hidden, landlords' price adjustment details are also not visible; users can only see "price change" records without specifics on increases or decreases [11] Group 2: Market Implications - The primary aim of this measure is to alleviate landlords' panic, as seeing neighbors' properties continuously drop in price can create anxiety [11] - However, the lack of transparency may increase transaction costs and exacerbate distrust between buyers and sellers [11] - Future discussions on housing prices will lack fair transaction screenshots as a basis, which is crucial for forming price consensus [11] - Buyers and sellers may have to rely on regional intermediaries for transaction information or repeatedly inquire about prices to facilitate transactions [11]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent decision to remove historical transaction prices of second-hand homes from platforms like Lianjia in Shanghai, raising concerns about transparency in the real estate market [1][6]. Group 1: Market Changes - Starting from August 14, platforms such as Lianjia and Beike have taken down historical transaction prices in the Shanghai area, requiring buyers to inquire with agents for specific prices [1]. - Despite the removal of historical prices on some platforms, Shanghai Zhongyuan Real Estate still allows users to access historical transaction data, including price, area, and transaction date [1][5]. Group 2: Market Analysis - In July, the Shanghai second-hand housing market saw stable transaction volumes, with 18,515 units sold, and the viewing volume remained unchanged [6]. - The market is characterized by a significant demand from first-time buyers and young families, particularly for properties priced below 3 million yuan, indicating a sensitivity to total price [6]. - The trend of diverse improvement customer groups is emerging but has not yet formed a substantial effect, partly due to the ongoing popularity of high-end new projects in the new housing market [6]. Group 3: Historical Context - The removal of historical transaction prices is not a nationwide policy, as cities like Beijing, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou have also opted not to display these prices, while Dalian still shows prices prior to July 29 [7]. - Historical data removal has occurred in the past during market upswings, potentially influencing buyer behavior either to rush into the market or to hesitate during downturns [6].
