another city’s state-owned assets have stepped in to purchase commercial housing for use as affordable housing.

hefei anju group issued a notice today that it plans to start purchasing existing commercial housing for use as sales-type or rental-type affordable housing, and is now soliciting applications within the corresponding administrative areas of hefei city.

the scope of this solicitation includes two categories: one is the rental housing source, which is to collect the rental housing projects that have been built in the urban area of ​​​​jihe city (excluding the four counties and one city) or the commercial and office buildings that can be converted into rental housing and meet the conditions. the second is the sales housing source, which is to collect the commercial housing that has been built but not sold in the urban area of ​​​​jihe city (excluding the four counties and one city).

the collected houses must have complete formalities and guaranteed quality. the houses must be located in convenient areas with complete supporting facilities, close to subway entrances and bus stations, and have relatively complete infrastructure and living facilities. in terms of housing form, the whole building and the whole unit are the main ones, which can be closed management; the apartment size is appropriate. in principle, the main apartment size of the house should meet the requirements of the apartment size and area of ​​hefei's affordable housing.

regarding the purchase control price, the notice clearly states that the purchase price of existing commercial housing shall not exceed the replacement price of affordable housing in the same area. among them, the appraisal price of allocated affordable housing is based on the appraisal price of professional appraisal institutions as the reference upper limit of the purchase price.

according to the official website of hefei anju group, the company has a registered capital of 5 billion yuan and is a holding company of hefei construction investment holding (group) co., ltd. hefei construction investment group is a state-owned company approved by the hefei municipal government and authorized by the municipal state-owned assets supervision and administration commission. hefei anju group is mainly responsible for the collection, investment, construction, operation and management of various types of affordable housing in hefei.

in fact, before hefei issued the above-mentioned solicitation notice, many cities had already begun to promote the related work of "acquisition and storage" of commercial housing.

"in the past two months, state-owned enterprises' 'stockpiling' has become the focus of destocking in the commercial housing market. state-owned enterprises in key first- and second-tier cities such as shenzhen, nanjing, changsha, wuhan and lanzhou have successively announced their entry into the market for 'stockpiling'," said zhang bo, director of the 58 anjuke research institute.

on july 31, fuzhou anzhu development co., ltd. purchased 154 residential units in luling garden and luling garden for affordable housing at a base price of 273 million yuan. on august 7, shenzhen anju group announced that it would start purchasing commercial housing for use as affordable housing. this is the second first-tier city to start the "purchase instead of construction" model after guangzhou.

in addition, wuhan's first "acquisition and storage" project was launched on august 17, and after renovation and decoration, it can provide more than 500 affordable rental housing units. on august 19, changsha affordable housing construction and development co., ltd. issued a notice that it plans to purchase completed but unsold commercial housing in furong district, tianxin district, yuelu district and other administrative areas for use as affordable housing. on august 26, chongqing signed the second batch of acquisition projects, which can provide more than 2,600 affordable housing units after renovation and transformation.

xu yuejin, deputy director of research at china index academy, said that since the new policy on may 17, about 30 cities have issued notices to collect commercial housing for use as affordable housing this year.

"the political bureau meeting on july 30 once again proposed 'actively supporting the acquisition of existing commercial housing for use as affordable housing', and 'destocking' has become one of the focuses of recent real estate policies. as of the end of june 2024, the balance of 300 billion yuan of affordable housing re-loans was 12.1 billion yuan. at present, the pace of state-owned enterprises' acquisition and storage needs to be accelerated, and relevant policies still need to be optimized." xu yuejin said.

in fact, the regulatory authorities issued relevant guidance in july on the collection and storage of commercial housing in various regions.

according to the information released on the official website of the ministry of housing and urban-rural development on july 16, at the third special training course on affordable housing construction and urban village renovation held by the ministry of housing and urban-rural development in changchun, heads of relevant departments and bureaus of the ministry of housing and urban-rural development gave detailed interpretations of the policy documents on planning and building affordable housing, acquiring existing commercial housing for use as affordable housing, and actively and steadily promoting urban village renovation.

it was mentioned that all localities should, based on the local real estate market conditions, comprehensively consider factors such as the actual demand for affordable housing and the inventory level of the commercial housing market, adhere to the principle of ordering based on demand, do a good job in purchasing completed existing commercial housing for use as affordable housing, actively seek support for affordable housing re-lending policies, and promote the implementation of projects that are ripe for the times as soon as possible.

"for the acquisition and storage of commercial housing, on the one hand, local governments need to consider the rental return rate of future rental projects in the region; on the other hand, while helping to ease inventory pressure, local governments will try their best to choose high-quality and suitable targets. however, the key to the 'acquisition and storage' work is still the price, which determines whether a balance can be achieved in the capital and income needs of all parties involved in the 'acquisition and storage'." zhang bo said.

in addition to price factors, analysts pointed out that the "storage" of commercial housing also faces other problems such as differences in supply and demand in cities, area matching, and building requirements.

"in cities where real estate developers are under great inventory pressure and have a strong desire to sell, the demand for affordable housing is relatively limited, and the scale of state-owned enterprises' acquisition and storage is relatively small; while in cities where the demand for affordable housing is relatively strong, the market inventory pressure is relatively small, and real estate developers are relatively less willing to sell existing housing at a discount. in addition, the 'acquisition and storage' will also face problems such as mismatched building requirements. currently, most cities require priority to be given to the acquisition of entire buildings or entire units that have not been sold and can be closed for management, but the projects that meet the conditions on the market may be relatively limited." xu yuejin added.
