2019年以來，各地在公積金政策調整上，多以保障剛需和改善型需求為主，調整方向涉及放寬公積金貸款年限、加大力度支持公積金租房提取、限制異地購房公積金提取或貸款等。

以成都為例，該市11月起，所購再交易房的樓齡超過30年的，不得申請再交易房貸款，取消原“申請公積金貸款時，所購再交易房樓齡超過20年的，不予貸款”的規定。申請再交易房貸款的，貸款期限最長為30年，且不能超過抵押房產剩餘的土地使用權年限，取消原“申請再交易房貸款的，貸款期限加所購住房樓齡不超過30年”的規定。

同樣位於四川省的德陽此前也明確，將二手房最長貸款年限由20年延長至30年。

“今年有400家房企破產”“平均每天1.5家房企破產”“80%開發商會死掉”……近期，關於“房企破產”的話題再次成為輿論關注焦點。

那麼，今年房企究竟破產了多少家？市場真的進入“大洗牌”階段了嗎？中指研究院統計顯示，截至今年11月，共有330家房企發布了破產相關文書，但真正破產的房企僅有43家，其餘均為各種流程公告，包括更換管理人、第一次債權人會議通知等。

58安居客房產研究院首席分析師張波也向《每日經濟新聞》記者表示，從數據來看，今年房企破產數量和往年相比並沒有明顯增加，但這並不代表房企的破產規模會一直保持這一水平。隨著房地產去產能的深化，房地產金融側從緊的持續，以及行業集中度不斷提升，未來房地產行業的整體淘汰率仍將提升，預計淘汰房企的規模會呈現不斷增長趨勢。

This is the highest reading since June of 1999.

According to the American Institute of Architects (AIA), demand for design services in November 2019 increased at a modest pace for the second month in a row.

During November, both the new project inquiries and design contracts scores were positive, posting scores of 60.9 and 52.9 respectively.
