First, projects that by Aug. 28, 2026 (inclusive) have obtained (or partially obtained) a construction project planning permit but not a pre-sale permit may apply for pre-sale under existing pre-sale conditions and existing pre-sale funds supervision. Second, projects that by Aug. 28, 2026 have obtained (or are in the process of obtaining) state-owned construction land use rights but lack a construction project planning permit are in principle subject to the new pre-sale management rules for new projects; districts that can guarantee on-time completion may, after filing with municipal authorities and under strengthened pre-sale funds supervision, allow these projects to apply for pre-sale under original pre-sale conditions until end-2027. Third, legacy projects that by Aug. 28, 2026 have obtained state-owned construction land use rights may be handled per in-flight project provisions after district-level risk assessment. The measures aim to ensure a smooth transition for on-going projects.
