China's Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD) has informed the local governments that they have to extend the housing purchase restriction policies after the expiry date, the Beijing News reported.

Among the 46 cities that are conducting the policies, 10 cities' policies are to expire on Dec 31, 2011.

Now the real estate market in China is still in the sensitive period and the curb of housing prices among the first tier cities has made effects. The housing prices of 70 cities have shown signs of break points to go down.

An official from the MOHURD said the State Council has given several instructions on the regulation of real estate market with the core requirements of never loosening the control policies. Therefore, in the foreseen future, there is no possibility that the regulation on the real estate market will slacken off.

據(jù)《新京報(bào)》報(bào)道，住建部日前已知會(huì)地方政府，對(duì)于房屋限購政策將于今年底到期的城市，地方政府需在到期之后對(duì)限購政策進(jìn)行延續(xù)。

目前全國已經(jīng)執(zhí)行限購的46個(gè)城市中，有10個(gè)城市的限購政策截止時(shí)間都是年底。

目前樓市依然處于敏感時(shí)期，一線城市的調(diào)控效果逐漸顯現(xiàn)。10月份，全國70個(gè)指標(biāo)城市出現(xiàn)了房價(jià)環(huán)比下調(diào)的拐點(diǎn)信號(hào)。

住建部一官員說，近期國務(wù)院多次就房地產(chǎn)調(diào)控問題做出指示和批示，核心要求就是不能對(duì)現(xiàn)有房地產(chǎn)調(diào)控政策予以放松。限購在可預(yù)見的未來，不存在放松可能。
