Since 2018, as regulators strictly controlling credit and trust funds from banks into the real estate market, housing prices and financing more and more difficult, and even banks have suspended the real estate industry acceptance of additional credit, or suspend real estate development loan business.

"In past years the previous regulation, even if banks have tightened, but other sources are smooth, housing prices may still find a lot of money to stay afloat in the community, but this time the regulators continue to file out, a lot of broken posterior housing prices, housing enterprises are forced to go abroad for financing.

According to the reporter, there are large housing prices make internal requirements, to maximize their smooth cash flow, financial record sales in many cities require the full amount to buy a house, to return the funds as soon as possible. But most of the housing enterprises can not do counter-cyclical to take, even if the regulation has been going on for over a year, but housing prices get enthusiastic.

Everbright Bank, a credit manager, told reporters this year compared with last year's amount of the mortgage is quite different. "I do not know the specific figures, but we had a good start to the year, 90% was non-mortgage loans, such as business loans, consumer loans, commercial property mortgages, car loans and other personal loans."

This year, the central repeatedly and strictly control the release of funds from the real estate industry of the incoming signal.

Lian Ping, chief economist at Bank of Communications, said that the current growth rate of real estate sales and personal home purchase loans have dropped from a high point. With reference to past experience, it is expected that both will reach the bottom by 2018. Simply assume that the bottom of this round of real estate cycle value and the previous round is about estimated 2018 new personal housing loans of about 3.3 trillion yuan, representing a decrease of 800 billion -10000 billion yuan in 2017. However, since a lot of personal mortgages in 2017 may have been approved but not lent, it is expected that personal mortgages will still be available on a certain scale in the first quarter of 2018 and will not be immediately reduced.
