资料图 21世纪经济报道记者李莎 北京报道 12月24日，北京出台楼市新政，成为全国住房城乡建设工作会议召 开后首个优化房地产政策的一线城市，新政自2025年12月24日起施行。 限购政策的优化是其中的一大重点。一方面，放宽非京籍家庭的购房条件。非京籍家庭购买五环内商品 住房的社保或个税缴纳年限，由现行的"3年"调减为"2年"；购买五环外商品住房的，由现行的"2年"调 减为"1年"。 另一方面，对二孩及以上的多子女家庭，支持其在五环内增购一套住房。这意味着京籍多子女家庭可在 五环内购买3套商品住房；非京籍多子女家庭在京连续2年缴纳社保或个税的，可在五环内购买2套商品 住房。 北京此次新政也加大了公积金对居民购房的支持力度，降低使用公积金贷款购买二套房的最低首付比 例，从不低于30%调整为不低于25%。 商贷政策也进一步优化，在利率定价机制安排方面不再区分首套住房和二套住房。 在受访专家看来，此次北京房地产政策优化，将有助于更好释放非京籍家庭和多子女家庭的购房潜力， 有效降低部分家庭的购房成本。新政在年底落地，不仅能助力岁末北京楼市保持稳定成交势头，也为预 热明年楼市奠定基础。同时，这也表明各地政策仍有优化空间 ...
