China housing market gets VAT relief on resales but demand outlook stays subdued (SCMP)
|
|
|
China will lower value-added tax (VAT) on individual home resales from January 1, but while the measure has drawn interest from consumers, property agents have said most remain cautious and are adopting a wait-and-see approach.
The policy would work to a certain extent, but its ability to revive the housing market was likely to be limited, they added.
Individuals selling residential properties within two years of purchase would now be subject to a VAT rate of 3 per cent, down from 5 per cent,......

"Massive Abuse": HUD Audit Flags $5B In Improper Housing Assistance During Biden's Term
A new report from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development has found that more than $5 billion in federal rental assistance during fiscal year 2024 went to potentially ineligible recipients, including nearly 30,000 deceased individuals and thousands of non-citizens, according to MSN and the NY Post.
The audit, conducted by HUD's Office of the Chief Financial Officer, reviewed nearly $50 billion in housing aid and identified $5.8 billion — about 11% — as “questionable.” More than 200,000 tenants were flagged, including 29,715 listed as deceased, 9,472 non-citizens, and 165,393 households receiving payments above local eligibility limits, particularly in large metro areas such as New Orleans. Officials said suspicious payments appeared nationwide, with heavy concentrations in New York, California and Washington, DC.

"Stark Reversal" From Pandemic: US Home Price Growth Slowest Since Q2 2023
Home prices in America's largest 20 cities surged 0.32% MoM in October (far higher than the +0.1% MoM move expected) but for context, this is the weakest annual home price growth since the March through July 2023 period, when the market was absorbing the initial shock of the Fed's rapid rate hikes
Source: Bloomberg
“October's data show the housing market settling into a much slower gear, with the National Composite Index up only about 1.4% year over year – among the weakest performances since mid-2023,” said Nicholas Godec, CFA, CAIA, CIPM, Head of Fixed Income Tradables & Commodities at S&P Dow Jones Indices.
"This broad stagnation suggests that elevated mortgage rates – still hovering around the mid-6% range in late October – are finally overwhelming the market's earlier supply-driven resilience. Would-be buyers are facing the highest borrowing costs in decades, and that affordability sque...
