The housing market in the big cities is heating up again.

大城市房价再度飙涨。

Second-hand home sales started picking up again last year, and since Spring Festival, prices have soared.

去年二手房价有抬头迹象，春节以后价格开始升高。

At the bottom of this renewed optimism for the property market has been a push by the central government to stimulate demand.

中央政府希望适度扩大房地产总需求，但人们对住房市场不乐观。

This has included not only lending rate cuts but also reduction of minimum mortgage down payment from 30 percent to 20 percent for first-time home buyers.

不仅下调了贷款利率，首付也从30%下降到20%（首次购房者）。

But as things continue to heat up, the country's central bank appears to be taking measures to avoid a housing bubble.

Recently, the PBOC and the Shenzhen branch of the China Banking Regulatory Commission held a meeting with 20 commercial banks in Shenzhen

which is the highest price the southern city has ever seen.

The price of second-hand homes in Shenzhen also set a record with 52,600 yuan per square meter.

二手房价也创纪录，达到5.26万每平。

Regulators are also mulling over rules that would end the practice of homebuyers taking out loans to cover down payments.

Central bank vice governor Pan Gongsheng said non-bank lenders such as developers, real estate agents and p2p websites have increased risks to the financial system and the property market,
