Q
What are the benefits of the "second-hand house direct sales" platform? Can buying a house save money?
A: In recent years, many governments across the country have launched the "Direct Sale of Second hand Housing" platform, which helps to break the asymmetry of housing information between buyers and sellers, as well as intermediary agencies in the second-hand housing transaction process. This makes the second-hand housing market more diverse in transaction channels and more reasonable in transaction fees, which is conducive to the healthy and orderly development of the real estate intermediary industry.
Zhang Bo, the director of 58 Anjuke Research Institute, believes that the direct sales model of second-hand houses is a beneficial supplement to the existing channels of second-hand house transactions. The government has natural advantages in verifying housing information, protecting property information and personal privacy. For both buyers and sellers, the biggest benefit is to reduce intermediary service fees during the transaction process, achieving what is commonly known as "hand in hand" transactions.
Q
What kind of people are suitable for "direct sales of second-hand houses"?
A: Zhang Bo stated that real estate transactions themselves have a high level of complexity and require comprehensive risk control. If they are unfamiliar buyers and sellers, they need to bypass offline intermediary transactions and have certain knowledge and practical skills related to real estate transactions. Hand in hand transactions are generally more suitable for buyers and sellers who are familiar with or have a certain level of familiarity with the target property.
Q
What are the issues to pay attention to when selling second-hand houses directly?
A: On the one hand, although the government housing supply is authentic, it is also unable to obtain more implicit information, such as the willingness of homeowners to sell, the urgency of the sale, and peripheral information such as whether the housing supply is blocked by light, whether neighbors are group renters, etc. These types of information are generally difficult to form effective judgments through communication with homebuyers themselves. Some information can have a very direct impact on housing prices, which requires offline intermediaries to understand from multiple aspects. On the other hand, transactions involve various types of contract signing, agreement on tax payment methods, etc., and also require the participation of professionals. A single online platform cannot solve such problems.
Zhang Bo stated that with the implementation of unified real estate registration, the official second-hand housing information platform will play an increasingly important role. But to achieve the authenticity and security of housing transaction prices, it depends on more technical support, and it is also necessary to continuously explore multi departmental coordination mechanisms and effective integration with the financial system to ensure the security of transaction funds and information.
