"The scope of purchasing second-hand houses is expected to further expand in the future, and policy flexibility will be maintained," suggested Zhang Bo, director of the 58 Anjuke Research Institute. It is recommended that local governments pay attention to the combination of purchasing second-hand houses and urban renewal, purchasing and simultaneously improving the residential environment in the area. Implementing a unified and standardized pricing mechanism for property assessment, further relaxing restrictions on the use of housing quotas, breaking down administrative restrictions between regions, and accelerating the processing pace, will help to revitalize existing housing policies to better serve the people.
