Since the opening of 2026, the shenzhen real estate market has experienced a long history of warmth. With a strong recovery from a new house to a second-hand house market with a series of well-advanced policies, market confidence has been significantly restored, and a “sliding back” has become the dominant melody of the current city。
The policy dividend was accurately released and the purchase threshold significantly reduced the core driving force of the recent housing recovery and the city's optimization of the new deal (new deal 4/29), which was launched on the night of 29 april. The policy eased the purchase of the core districts of fukuda and namshan: the ceiling for home purchases was raised to three units in the core district; two units could be purchased in non-dwelling households only for one year; and, more significantly, by shenzhen residence permits alone, the outsiders could purchase one housing unit in the core district, completely removing the social security and tax thresholds. In addition, there has been an unprecedented increase in the level of the provident fund loan line, with a significant increase in the maximum amount available to households, which has greatly reduced the pressure on immediate needs and improved monthly supply。
Prices rose, and market heat returned to full strength, stimulated by the policy dividend, with the late golden week of “five ones” in shenzhen city handing over a bright report card. The number of new home subscriptions for commodities in fukuda increased by 500 per cent over the same period and the number of first-hand rooms in the city increased by about 70 per cent. Not only is the new market re-energizing the “did cd-rom”, but there has also been a 50 per cent increase in the visual and contracting volumes of the second-hand market. A large number of previously blocked out-of-door off-site clients and local improvement clients were brought to the market, resulting in the explosive release of the long-overdue demand for houses。
There is a new trend in the sale of existing houses, and the search for “certainty” by buyers, in addition to being policy-driven, has been accompanied by profound changes in market supply and demand structures. In the first four months of 2026, for the first time in the shenzhen new housing market, the share of current house sales exceeded pre-sale sales by 56 per cent, marking an official “era of present house” in the city. Faced with the risk of delivery, home buyers are increasingly inclined to “whatever they see” live-in or quasi-remote housing projects, where the decision-making cycle for such sources is significantly shorter and the pace of decomposition is much higher than the time frame。
The official housing service platform, “i deep houses”, created by the shenzhen housing and construction authority, has also played an important role in helping to make the business process more transparent and efficient in order to facilitate public housing. The platform brings together high-quality first-hand commodity housing projects that are being sold throughout the city, providing services such as vr watch houses, mortgage calculators and “one-stop shops” for housing transactions, enabling buyers to have access to information on the authoritative sources of housing and access to all-processes services from qualification to registration。
Shenzhen city is currently at a critical stage of steady recovery. For home buyers with real housing needs, the current policy window period and the relatively reasonable range of housing prices may be the best time to grasp high-quality assets and realize the dream of secure tenure。
