Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. Announces Progress of Property Delivery to its Customers

 

Beijing, September 22, 2023 -- Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. (“Xinyuan” or the “Company”) (NYSE: XIN), an NYSE-listed real estate developer operating primarily in China and also in other countries, announces that the progress of property delivery to its customers is undergoing promisingly in majors cities in China.

 

Recently, multiple governmental authorities jointly issued a document, incorporating the “Using Property Recognition to instead Loan Recognition” method when defining the applicable minimum down payment ratio and interest rate for home mortgage loans (the “New Method”), into the “One City, One Policy” toolkit. At the same time, the minimum down payment ratios for first- and second-time home buyers across the country have been reduced to 20% and 30%, respectively. Many cities have closely followed suit in implementing the New Method, particularly in Henan, Qingdao, and other regions, where housing purchase and sales restrictions have been completely cancelled, significantly and positively impacting the real estate market and local enterprises in the real estate sectors.

 

The continuous implementation of favorable policies has boosted the confidence of home buyers. Despite the real estate market experiencing a downturn and significant industry adjustments in recent years, the Company has successfully delivered most of its projects as scheduled. In the first half of 2023, the Company completed the delivery of six projects in eight batches, totaling nearly 5,000 units with a delivery gross floor area of 400,000 square meters. In the fourth quarter of 2023, various projects of the Company, including those in Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, and Henan, will also experience a surge in deliveries.
