介绍： 原标题：Market lauds realty policy easing in Hangzhou, Xi'an

By taking the lead among major cities in scrapping all restrictions on homebuying, Hangzhou, capital of East China's Zhejiang province, and Xi'an of Shaanxi province have set the tone in terms of effecting measures that boost market confidence and help the market to stabilize, property experts said on Thursday.
周四，房地产专家表示，中国东部浙江省省会杭州和陕西省西安在取消购房限制方面领先于其他主要城市，为提振市场信心和稳定市场采取了措施。

All the previous limits on home purchases in Hangzhou were canceled on Thursday. Non-locals who own residential properties in the city can apply for permanent resident status, said a seven-item notice published on the website of the local bureau of housing security and real estate management on Thursday.
周四，杭州取消了之前所有的购房限制。根据当地住房保障和房地产管理局网站上发布的七点通知，拥有该市住宅物业的非本地居民可以申请永久居民身份。

"Hangzhou is the first Chinese city to lift all existing curbs posed on homebuying after April 30, when the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee held a tone-setting conference calling for measures to digest housing inventories and optimize new supplies," said Yan Yuejin, director of Shanghai-based E-house China Research and Development Institution.
“杭州是中国第一个在4月30日中共中央政治局举行设定基调的会议后，取消所有现有购房限制的城市，该会议呼吁采取措施消化住房库存并优化新供应，”总部位于上海的易居研究院的院长严跃进表示。

"Behind the easing policies are visible home price drops and withered transactions," said Li Yujia, chief researcher at the Guangdong Planning Institute's residential policy research center.
广东省规划院住宅政策研究中心首席研究员李宇嘉表示，“放宽政策的背后是明显的房价下跌和交易萎缩。”

"All of the city's 10 districts reported declines on their average trading prices of pre-owned homes in April, ranging from 2 percent to 21 percent," said Li, citing data from the Beike Research Institute in Hangzhou.
李宇嘉引用了杭州贝壳研究院的数据称，“4月份，该市所有10个区的二手房平均交易价格都出现了下降，降幅从2%到21%不等。”

Data from the China Index Academy showed a transaction downturn in the new homes market, suggesting similar measures are needed to activate potential demand.
中国指数研究院的数据显示，新房市场交易量下降，表明需要采取类似措施来激活潜在需求。

Hangzhou's bold move may inspire easing in other cities or their districts, especially second-tier cities, that have tight restrictions on home purchases, said Gao Yuansheng, executive vice-president of the China Index Academy's East China region.
中国指数研究院华东区执行副总裁高元生表示，杭州的大胆举措可能会激励其他城市或其地区放宽购房限制，特别是那些有严格购房限制的二线城市。

Citing data from the China Index Academy, Gao said strict limits are still in place in housing markets across cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen of Guangdong province as well as some core districts of cities like Guangzhou of Guangdong province, Tianjin.
高元生引用中国指数研究院的数据称，北京、上海、广东省深圳等城市以及广东省广州、天津等城市的核心区域的房地产市场仍然存在严格的限制。

Like Hangzhou, Xi'an lifted all its homebuying requirements on Thursday afternoon. The new policy is expected to ease pressure on the city in Northwest China to destock its housing inventories, said Zhang Hongwei, founder of Jingjian Consulting.
与杭州一样，西安在周四下午取消了所有购房要求。京建咨询的创始人张宏伟表示，新政策预计将缓解中国西北部城市的住房库存压力。
