Last Saturday, Beijing's first lottery-based self-use housing project, Jinyu Huixingyuan, began selecting homes for the primary selection group.
　　Yesterday, the selection was completed, and 349 families in the primary selection group gave up their eligibility. This means that the first 349 families in the backup group can all choose self-use housing.
　　List of families abandoning selection published
　　The number of families publicly drawn by Huixingyuan was twice the number of available units, totaling 3,764. Among them, the first 1,882 families formed the primary selection group, and the latter 1,882 families formed the backup group.
　　According to information published yesterday on the official website of the developer Jinyu Jiaye and the municipal housing commission, during the three days of selection by the primary group, 1,533 families showed up and selected 1,533 units. 349 families that won the lottery in the primary group gave up their eligibility.
　　At the same time, the list of families abandoning selection was also published.
　　Notice for those selecting homes on the afternoon of the 5th
　　Currently, the Huixingyuan project has a total of 349 remaining units, including 80 one-bedroom units, 269 two-bedroom units, and three-bedroom units were all selected on the first day.
　　Previously, Jinyu Jiaye had issued information on supplementary selection, notifying 300 backup families from number 1883 to 2182 to come for selection on July 4. However, because the final number of remaining units exceeded 300, yesterday Jinyu Jiaye again published a second announcement for supplementary selection.
　　"This time we will notify another 300 families in order. It should be noted that in addition to the 300 families on July 4, 150 families will select homes on the morning of July 5. If the units are all selected, we will notify the remaining 150 families at noon that they do not need to come. If there is no notification, the 150 families in the afternoon still need to come to the site on time to select homes," said a relevant person in charge at Jinyu Jiaye. When the 1,882 units are finally all selected, the sequence number of the last family to select will be "frozen." If families that have selected homes later fail the qualification review, or cannot raise the down payment, etc., and give up, subsequent families will be notified in order to select homes.
　　■ Follow-up
　　Person who "sold self-use housing slot for 100,000" abandons purchase
　　Previously, media reported that someone online was "offering a winning self-use housing slot for 100,000 yuan," and the netizen claimed to be a lottery winner.
　　In the list of those abandoning selection published yesterday, this netizen's information appeared.
　　It is understood that last Wednesday, the netizen went to the municipal housing commission to be summoned for talks.
　　A staff member of the municipal housing commission recalled that the netizen was a young man who looked very honest and was extremely nervous. The young man said that his family had just had another child, and he felt future expenses would be too high and he was afraid he could not repay the loan. Although he won the lottery, he had not planned to buy. But when a colleague casually mentioned it, he had the idea of "selling the slot," though he did not know how to transfer it.
　　"I didn't expect it to cause such a bad impact... Please don't notify my employer," the young man admitted his mistake on the spot.
　　A relevant person in charge of the competent authority said that although the winner had the intention to transfer, it did not become a fact. Therefore, after summoning him for talks and criticism, no further punishment was imposed.
　　The person in charge emphasized that self-use housing lottery numbers cannot be transferred, and the name cannot be changed to another person when signing the online contract. If there is concealment of family information, forgery of supporting documents, fraud, or fraudulent purchase of self-use housing, once verified, the purchase contract will be terminated, the purchasing family will bear the corresponding economic and legal responsibilities, the family information will be recorded in a "blacklist," and they may not purchase housing in Beijing for five years. If a crime is constituted, criminal liability will also be pursued according to law.
　　■ Follow-up interview
　　Main reason for 349 families abandoning purchase: "can't afford it"
　　A relevant person in charge at Jinyu Jiaye said that according to their statistical analysis and telephone surveys, the vast majority of families that gave up selection did so for economic reasons, namely that they felt they could not afford the project's price of 22,000 yuan per square meter. Experts said that judging from the selection situation of this project, the abandonment rate is about 18%. "That is to say, this project has solved the housing problem for more than 80% of families. This is a relatively normal figure and also proves that the original intention of the self-use housing design has been achieved."
　　Experts said that because of its good location, although Huixingyuan is already half the price of surrounding commercial housing, it still costs 22,000 yuan per square meter. Next, more than 10 self-use housing projects that have already been launched in Beijing will successively hold lotteries. Among these projects, prices are no higher than 22,000 yuan, and some are even less than 10,000 yuan. Therefore, families that abandoned selection because they "can't afford it" can participate in the lotteries for these projects.
　　In addition, analysis shows that the proportion of families on the affordable housing waiting list abandoning selection is higher than that of Beijing-registered families without housing. In this regard, experts said that, first, the proportion of affordable housing waiting-list families among the more than 100,000 applicant families is very low, only a few thousand households. At the same time, it also confirms the necessity of affordable housing itself. "Beijing implements a policy of providing security for low-income groups and support for middle-income groups, and self-use housing merely gives affordable housing waiting-list families one more choice."
