This articleappeared in Business Weekly Newspaper Feb 25-Mar 03, 2003 Shanghai s housing prices keep going up Stable growth stimulates strong housing demand Shanghai: Local property prices, boosted by the bullish market and strong demand, are likely to continue climbing this year. In general, Shanghais property market is stable healthy, there are no bubble in it, said Pan Jianxin, director general of Shanghais statistics bureau. Investments in Shanghai property market last year reached 72 billion yuan (US$8.7 billion), or about half of the citys total fixed investments. Output of the property industry rose 14.5 per cent year-on-year, higher than the 10.9 per cent growth in GDP (gross domestic product). The sector, one of the citys six industrial pillars, made up 6.9 per cent of Shanghais GDP, compared with 6.4 per cent in 2001. Property prices grew 10 per cent last year. Forty-five per cent of that growth came from developments priced 3,000-5,000 yuan (US$605-846) and 20 per cent from more expensive properties. That momentum is expected to continue this year as Shanghai s general economy maintains a 10-per-cent growth rate. The citys per capita GDP is expected to reach US$5,300. Shanghai Residential Development Bureau predicts the city will witness investments totoalliong58 billion yuan (US$ 7 billion) this year in the residential sector. That would be a 24.3 per cent increase over last years 56.3 billion yuan (US$6.81 billion). Construction of 18 million square meters of residential development will begin this year, and 18 million square meters of floor area well completed. Increased supply s not expect to affect prices, as many developers involved in renovation projects received their permits late last year and their projects will not be completed until the years second half. There is still room for rising price given current development costs and supply and demand, suggests officials with Shanghai Zhongyuan Real Estate. Improvements in housing quality including designs, new construction materials and techniques and government control over development of floor space will drive up prices. Consumers from outside Shanghai have helped push up prices. In 2002, they bought 53.6 per cent of the high-end residential apartments and 29 per cent of mid-range apartments. Many of them buy properties as investments. Most of the outside buyers were from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Prices for second-hand apartments have also rise rapidly in the past year, due largely to high prices for new apartments and the costly rent. As the central government has released a ban on leasing land to build villas in urban areas, prices for villas will grow steadily, analysts predict. Developers remain upbeat about Shanghais property market and, lured by high profit margins, they will continue trying the high-end market, analysts predict. Hong Kong developers have helped boost confidence in Shanghais property market. Major companies including Sun Huang Kai, Hang Lung, New World, Hutchison Whampoa and Shui On recently decided to increased their investments, worth about 25 billion yuan (US$3 billion) in the city, Shanghai Morning Post reported. The trend will continue as people seek great opportunities in Shanghai, which is preparing to host the 2010 World Expo, and which is focusing on renovating the banks of the Huangpu River, market insiders said. To fend off possible overheating of the market, Shanghais municipal government has announced several measures, said official with Jones Lang Lasalles, a property advisory company. The title deed tax for the purchase of general residential housing was raised in September to 1.5 per cent from 0.75 per cent. Income tax deduction for home purchases will end in May. People are likely to see mild rises in the prices, until possible 2010, said Zhang Hongming, a local property expert. HOME

Paid Advertisement Article Home Loans Bring Would-Be Homeowners Closer to their Goal If you’re looking to buy a house, it’s unlikely that, in today’s economy, you’ll be able to pay in full up front. That’s why home loans exist – to aid aspiring homeowners in acquiring and financing the homes they’ve dreamed of – without bankrupting them in the process. Home loans can be acquired through banks and home loan companies. Either route you take, you’re entitled to personal service by a representative who will review your finances, credit report, and help you decide which is the best home loan solution for your needs. In order to gather all the information they need, the bank or loan company will re-appraise the market value of your house to determine the proper loan amount. You will then work together to go over the different loan options available and determine which is best for your personal situation. Different Home Loans for Different Folks There are two main types of home loans , each with its own advantages. Fixed-rate loans divide the amount to be repaid over a set number of years. “Fixed rate” means that no matter how the interest rate fluctuates over the years, the amount of payment will remain the same. If the interest rate dips, your mortgage consultant will help you refinance to take advantage of the lower rate. In contrast, adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) are dependent on the fluctuation of the interest rate over time. When the rate is low, payments are low, but when interest rates are high, the payment increases also. ARMs are slightly easier to qualify for than fixed-rate loans, but they also carry more risks. When you are choosing a home loans company, take into consideration the additional “home loan origination fee” (usually 1% of the total amount borrow, so if you borrow $100,000, the fee is $100), as well as closing, settlement and appraisal fees. Most companies will allow you to “roll” these fees into your home loan, an excellent option that allows you to pay them over time if you don’t have the funds to pay up front. When you’re ready to move forward with a home loan, or if you’d just like to start exploring your options, submit the form at the top of this page to acquire your own mortgage consultant to help you get started with the mortgage process and explain which home loans might be best for you. ^ Paid Advertisement Article ^ Ad Information Forbes.com Wireless Reprints / Permissions Subscriber Services ©2004 Forbes.com™ All Rights Reserved Privacy Statement Terms, Conditions and Notice Search Engine Marketing by 360i, Inc.
