Market Cooling Measures Appear to Be Working in Shenzhen

Home prices in Shenzhen, the Silicon Valley of China, have risen 53% from July 2017 through March of this year, but market cooling measures enacted by the Xi administration last summer appear to be taking hold. In a bid to curb speculation, credit for home mortgages was tightened and mortgage rates were lifted—especially for second-home purchases—and as a result the “miracle” city has seen tapering home sales. Only 270 homes were sold during the Labor Day holiday from May 1-5—a 20% drop from the previous year and down from 724 property transactions in 2019. South China Morning Post

Prices for private condo sales also saw a boost with 1.5% month-over-month and 5.8% year-over-year increases. The Straits Times

Professional Bidders Are Becoming Popular in Australian Home Auctions

In Australia’s highly competitive and increasingly expensive home auction market, home buyers are turning to professional bidders to help them secure a property. Often licensed real estate agents, professional bidders are unfazed by what can be an intimidating and emotionally charged auction environment. “We use a range of different strategies and we also take the emotion out of it for the buyer,” said Barry Feldman, a licensed real estate agent and auctioneer. “The client can give me their reserve and then stay in the car. I don’t have any emotion when I bid because it’s not my money.” Domain
