Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. Announces
Optimization of Regulations in Real Estate
Sector in Zhengzhou where the Company’s Investment Focuses on
Beijing, September 15, 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 optimization of regulations in real estate sector has been put into effect in Zhengzhou and other major cities where the Company focuses on property investment.
On September 12, 2023, the Housing Indemnification and Real Estate Administrative Bureau of Zhengzhou, along with four other administrative authorities, jointly issued a notice titled “Further Support for Reasonable Housing Demand” (the “Notice”). The Notice comprehensively cancelled housing property purchase and sales restrictions in Zhengzhou, effective from the date of the issuance of the Notice.
The Notice removed the existing restrictive purchase and sale policies, including the cancellation of housing purchase restrictions within the second ring of Zhengzhou and the holding period condition when selling properties. This moveaims to support the housing demands of local residents, both for first-time and non first-time homebuyers. Additionally, the Notice lowers the minimum down payment requirements for home mortgage loans. The new minimum down payment requirements will apply to both new developments and resale properties. The minimum down payment for the first-time purchasers is uniformly adjusted to not less than 20% of the total purchasing price, while for the non first-time purchasers, it is uniformly adjusted to not less than 30%.
Since late August, various cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, where the Company’s significant property investment focuses, as well as Dalian, Jinan, Qingdao, and other major cities, have reduced the home mortgage loan interest rates for housing and loosened the purchase and sales restrictions at different levels. These ongoing policies are continuing to stimulate the real estate market.
As of December 31, 2022, the total gross floor area of the Company’s properties under construction and planning in Zhengzhou is approximately 2.91 million square meters, accounting for 55% of the Company’s total gross floor area of properties under construction and planning in China.
The Company will continue to monitor government policy releases at all levels and make timely adjustments to its sales strategy to fully leverage the positive impact on the real estate market.
