“It seems that the enthusiasm towards housing is contagious. Despite a frantic pursuit in the market of new commodity housing, the sales achieved in second-hand housing have well surpassed those of commodity housing in the first half of this year,” Xiaojiang said. “The average price remains steady as against a hike in the sales of stock houses. Even if there is a rise in the price, the fluctuation is relatively low under the context of a whole year. ”

Deals struck in February are the lowest with 1,646 houses traded. However, the trading volumes in March and April mounted surprisingly with sales standing separately at 5,517 units and 6,201 units, ushering in the peak in July.
