The policy should be exhausted and the cost-profit ratio should be superimposed. The sprint of Beijing's new site at the end of this year seems to be "calm". On December 10, the reporter visited and found that most projects in Beijing chose to continue the preferential margin in November to sprint the year-end performance. Only a few projects give a discount of "15% off the house price if you pay the down payment within 5 days". While the discount is relatively "calm", the hot-selling units of some properties even rose by 1000 yuan per square meter on the basis of last month's price. Guo Yi, chief analyst of Heshuo, believes that the Beijing market has experienced a period of deep adjustment in the past year, and many real estate enterprises have launched discounts and profit-making activities in order to promote sales. Some projects may not reach the expected profit, while others have made great concessions by "exchanging price for quantity". However, as the market entered the turning point of upward stabilization, housing enterprises began to gradually recover discounts to increase profits. This is also a symbolic feature of the market from the downside to the upside. (beijing business today)
