Renting a house can be settled, and the introduction of talents for real estate speculation will be restricted. The NDRC is well aware of your concerns.

On April 12, the website of the National Development and Reform Commission issued the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Key Tasks for the Development of New Urbanization and Urban-Rural Integration in 20021(hereinafter referred to as the Notice). Among them, the urban settlement policy should treat renters and buyers equally, and allow permanent residents to settle in public accounts, which has aroused widespread discussion.

In the eyes of the industry, relaxing renting and settling down, further separating settling down from buying a house, making leasing a stable or even permanent lifestyle for new citizens is conducive to realizing the citizenization of agricultural transfer population. At the same time, allowing renting houses to settle down will also help to further realize the right to rent and purchase, and the gap between renters and buyers in the future distribution of public resources will be further shortened.

In addition, the "Notice" pointed out that it is necessary to co-ordinate the liberalization and relaxation of settlement, talent introduction and real estate regulation. Insiders explained that the phenomenon of real estate speculation through talent introduction channels will be further restricted in the future.

Allow the permanent residents of renting houses to settle down and promote the right to rent and purchase.

In promoting the orderly and effective integration of agricultural migrants into cities, the circular pointed out that the restrictions on urban settlement should be relaxed in an orderly manner, and cities should reasonably determine the settlement conditions according to the carrying capacity of resources and environment and the actual needs of economic and social development, adhere to the principle of giving priority to stocks, and promote the convenient settlement of key populations such as agricultural migrants who have worked and lived in cities for more than five years and moved with their families, the new generation of migrant workers who work and live in cities and towns, rural students who go to school and the population who join the army. The urban settlement policy should treat renters and buyers equally and allow permanent residents to settle in public accounts.

Among them, the urban settlement policy should treat renters and buyers equally, and the statement that permanent residents are allowed to settle in public accounts has aroused widespread discussion and made it on the hot search list of Weibo. Some netizens called for "medical education and other supporting facilities to keep up."

In the eyes of the industry, China's current settlement policy is linked to housing, and in the actual implementation process, it is based on the principle of "house ownership", which means that "renting" has a low priority in obtaining social welfare, and the existence of "rent-purchase discrimination" will affect the development of urban rental market.

At the same time, renting a house is still the main way in the integration of agricultural transfer population into cities. Xu Xiaole, chief market analyst of RealData, said that China's urbanization has entered the middle and late stage, with about180,000 people entering the city every year, the proportion of floating population's family migration has increased, and their willingness to stay for a long time has increased. However, due to the high housing prices and rapid increase in big cities, it is increasingly difficult for new floating population groups to integrate into cities by buying houses. Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that in 20 19, the total number of migrant workers in China was 290 million, and the number of migrant workers reached1700,000. Less than 20% of migrant workers have bought houses, and most of them rent houses as their main lifestyle.

"Allowing renting a house to settle down will further separate settling down from buying a house, make leasing a stable or even permanent lifestyle for new citizens, and help realize the citizenization of agricultural transfer population." Xu Xiaole said that in the long run, "renting a house to settle down" can reduce the demand of residents to buy a house and settle down, which is conducive to achieving the goal of "housing and living without speculation". On the other hand, it also lays the foundation for leasing to become a long-term and stable residential choice for urban residents and implement the long-term mechanism of central rent and purchase.

In fact, renting a house can settle down, which has been implemented in some hot cities. From June 5438 to February 2020, the "Implementation Opinions of the Office of the Municipal Government on Further Promoting the Settlement of Urban Non-registered Population" issued by the Suzhou Municipal Government proposed to implement the policy of permanent residents of rental houses to settle in community Gong Hu, breaking the invisible threshold.

Coordinate the introduction of talents and real estate regulation, and further limit real estate speculation.

In terms of relaxing the restrictions on urban settlement, the notice also stipulates that cities should make overall plans, carefully design, and make overall plans to relax settlement, introduce talents, and regulate real estate.

Yan Yuejin, research director of the think tank center of Yiju Research Institute, said that the combination of talent introduction and real estate regulation is a new expression, which was not mentioned in the new urbanization task in previous years. In the past two years, some provincial capital cities have made great efforts to introduce talents, but there have also been many problems, such as the phenomenon of real estate speculation through talent channels. Therefore, from this perspective, how to prevent all kinds of real estate speculation and actively stabilize the real estate market has become the key in the process of new urbanization.

It is worth noting that on April 13, the news that Hangzhou tightened the talent purchase policy can be described as a regulatory upgrade to introduce talent real estate speculation. According to the latest regulations in Hangzhou, some preferential policies for high-level talents to buy houses have been cancelled, and it is clear that families with high-level talents must settle down for five years before they can buy a second suite, and single high-level talents cannot buy a second suite, which is consistent with ordinary buyers.

Yan Yuejin said that this is another adjustment of Hangzhou's talent purchase policy after the adjustment of the identification conditions of families without housing talents, which is conducive to market fairness and puts an end to the phenomenon of real estate speculation by a few talents. This policy further shows that we must crack down on real estate speculation through talent channels. At the same time, this policy just echoes the mission requirements of 202 1 new urbanization issued by the National Development and Reform Commission. According to this requirement, the talent policy of new urbanization in the future needs to be connected with the real estate regulation and control policy. In other words, the introduction of talents can be actively promoted, but in the middle, we should prevent all kinds of speculation and other phenomena to truly promote the healthy development of the real estate market.

Accelerate the cultivation of housing rental market and solve the housing problem in big cities

In addition, in efforts to solve the outstanding housing problem in big cities, the notice pointed out that we should adhere to the positioning that houses are used for living, not for speculation, and take measures according to local conditions to stabilize land prices, house prices and expectations to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market; Accelerate the cultivation and development of the housing rental market, effectively revitalize the existing housing resources, effectively and orderly expand the supply of rental housing, improve the long-term rental policy, and rationally regulate the rent level; Focus on cities with large population inflow and high housing prices, expand the supply of affordable rental housing, and focus on solving the housing problems of new citizens such as poor groups, agricultural transfer population and newly employed college students.

The above contents are consistent with the spirit of housing-related contents in the outline of the 14 th Five-Year Plan and the 202 1 government work report. Zhao Ran, president of ICCRA Housing Leasing Industry Research Institute, analyzed that the National Development and Reform Commission issued 202 1 Key Tasks of New Urbanization and Urban-Rural Integration, which is a refinement of the Tenth Five-Year Plan. Its highlight lies in the further detailed deployment of the requirements of cultivating the housing rental market put forward in the Outline, focusing on new citizens such as difficult groups, agricultural transfer population and newly employed college students, so as to make the policies and markets more targeted.

In terms of increasing the supply of the housing rental market, the Notice clearly lists the land for rental housing, explores the use of rural collective construction land and idle land owned by enterprises and institutions to build rental housing, and supports the transformation of non-residential housing into affordable rental housing. Zhao Ran said that it is an idea to revitalize the stock in an incremental way. If, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Land and Resources, the proportion of leased housing land in the annual plan of 200210 is generally not less than 10%, then the residential planning buildable area of 22 pilot cities with long-term mechanism in 2020 is about 350.39 million square meters, and each set (room) is 50 square meters, and in 20021year it is only/kloc-0.

Zhao Ran thinks that it is necessary to further improve the policy to solve the practical problems in reforming the rental housing of the existing real estate. For example, there are no implementation rules for land use adjustment, planning approval, and fire inspection.
