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
