High-end residential projects still popular in Beijing
Demand for high-end residential property continues to be robust in Beijing, with prices still high, said a report released on Wednesday, even as a land auction in Shanghai set a record.

"The growth in the sector can be attributed to the slight relaxation of government restrictions on pre-sale permits," said Zhao Yan, head of research for North China at DTZ.

Shanghai joins Beijing in approving more luxury housing
hanghai's city government became the second in two months to allow more luxury properties into the market, real estate agents and developers said, signalling some cities in China are easing restrictive policies that aimed to cool an overheated market.

  1. Who is still buying this junk and how are they doing it? Credit crunch is in early stages, corruption crack down rolling on - why and how are people paying so much for such low quality "luxury" housing?

    This all boggles my mind (and greatly frustrates me).
