Many of the city's real estate market in China, the recent blowout prices, financial panic-buying scandals. Who claims the Pudong New District, Shanghai, in fact, is 70 kilometers from the Lujiazui, but more than 400 more homes get snapped in two minutes of trading. In order to circumvent the restriction policy, people rushed to the divorce Center filed for divorce, was the crowd's divorce Centre had to close the field service, divorce required daily quotas row days before they are processed.

As an economist, I mentioned earlier on, Indian summer, but did not foresee this at all round soaring House prices. Where am I wrong? Wrong will analyze real estate residential property, inventory, supply of land for housing, income growth, population structure. In fact, China's property market at the moment, those factors are not important. Today, China's real estate, starting point should be the analysis of the financial property, non-residential properties.

Lack internal impetus to China's economic growth, the Government vigorously implement the monetary expansion, the money supply in the first quarter of this year like 2010 "4 trillion stimulus" battle. But due to the economic downturn, overcapacity, increased risk, and better companies are reluctant to borrow, banks are reluctant to lend. The real economy cannot absorb the sudden rise in liquidity and funds only stuck in financial economy, the stock market has less free, we speculated in real estate. When house prices rising, many occasions can be seen clearly on local governments and developers in land auctions, upping the induction of capital market. Once the upside momentum, housing and land interaction stimulates real estate become self formation, promotion of a bull market. Low asset returns is the pain of the residents, under the soaring, bank deposits were quickly transformed into buying purchasing power. Banks face high quality projects and fewer problems, the Government has urged lending, mortgages become their main means of handing in recent months, almost all new bank lending in the mortgage field. Financial innovation and create new ways of borrowing, lack buyers driving up borrowing rates on the train.

Create another reason for the surge in housing and land, is the cost of capital falls. Real estate adjusting of the Chinese Government, has always focused on developer stuck the funding source and the cost of capital, the developer too much because the accident capital chain rupture. This administration after several efforts, funding costs have declined dramatically, has also become more varied, facilitation of financing channels. But it came too late for business entities, beneficiaries are the developers and local governments. When funds from the developer the restriction imposed on the head off, the developers "financial freedom", and the game becomes exciting real estate market, buyer-seller's power scales completely tilted. Meanwhile, enterprise financial position could not be found in the real economy, also flows--hype than operating industrial real estate market is easier to make money.

Of real estate finance, is the reality of today's real estate market. Real estate asset finance, buyers of funds financial, developer funding financial and prices according to their financial properties running, human weaknesses to amplify it, panic created new buying.

Today's real estate market, chaos, and hype over leverage processes and impetuous. Wrong, not buyers of madness, in liquidity maker madness.

I cannot see to the overall contraction of Beijing real estate policy reasons. First of all, China's economic improvement, self growth, lack of motivation, stimulus effects a decline as a pillar industry of real estate is critical to economic stability. Secondly, the local government faces unprecedented challenges, many counties even have difficulties paying civil servants ' salaries, land finance shut the door no one dared. In addition, real estate to inventory, is the established policy of the Central Government, dismantling financial risks is required, all speculation money into third-tier cities, such as free housing inventory. I see it, Beijing will limit prices from overheating by local governments, but should be able to direct funding to three or four cities to inventory, rather than end the bull market.

So, there is no bubble in Chinese real estate? See data: in 1990, the Japan real estate value equivalent to the GDP of the country 200%; in 2006, the United States real estate value 170% of the national GDP; today, China's total real estate 250% of the national GDP. Today in three cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen real estate value is equivalent to the United States national value of real estate as a whole 70%.

In the past 100 years, the world housing bubble there about 40 or so. Each bubble is a national of that State said their prices rise and the other bubble, has its own situation. When the bubble burst, only to find foam has far greater than the similarities, the foam is foam. I don't know when the bubble burst, just know that when the credit cycle turns potential when real estate cycles tend to the turnaround. China's credit over GDP ratio is expected this year at 250%, exclusive pieces in the world, far more than the second place. The economic cycle, is the basic concept in economics, and the ups and downs of the economic cycle depends on the credit cycle. Or policy, or policy mistakes, or the reversal of capital flows, or dramatic increase in banks ' bad debts, triggered a credit squeeze and eventually lead to adjustments in the housing market. The history of modern capitalism, basically in this credit cycle, cycle, lid not exception. House prices up even more crazy, more adjustment pains. God wishes to destroy, shilling mad.

China's economy is the weakest link, developers and local governments; the strong link, high household savings. When the crisis in the property market, most people suddenly found a ring and the weakest link to be linked together. One day, historians will say that it was the Government's fault, thousands don't dont want a big mistake. Better late than never, especially late.
