An article recently published on the Voice of America Chinese network discusses about the China’s credit crisis behind the tide of refunding the real estate.

As the housing price decreases greatly,U.S. media: Credit crisis behind the tide of refunding the real estate Articles the owners suffer great loss. The owners complained that their investment in the real estate has so severely diminished. Some would-be owners are dissatisfied that before the house has been handed in them, the price has decreased. They believe it unfair for them to compensate for the buddle in the real estate industry as it is the developers who have made great sum of profits in the real market previously.

Then do the owners have any right to maintain? Dean of China Development Institute of Tourism and Real Estate Research Center, Song Ding told the official media that the purchase contract must be adhered to, but at the same time the buyers’ innate weak bargaining position must be paid attention to. Meanwhile, developers shoulder the responsibility of pushing up house prices. He believes that the reason for the fact that in China's real estate market, whenever the price decreases, the refunding increases is that there are many frauds in the aspect of real estate sales and n regulatory loopholes.

Yan liang, real estate commentator in Jiangsu Province, says that these loopholes are not merely unveiled by the sudden decrease in price, but also in the false promises in housing sales and fraudulent propagation. The victims are ordinary people while the Government's regulatory oversight of real estate developers has provided to the action of fraud with more convenience. He said: "This reflects an old problem that it is very difficult for some developers to fulfill the commitment made in publicity. This situation often occurs in the real estate industry, I think there are two reasons, one is the owners have few ways to maintain their rights. In fact, the owner’ confusion can reflect the regulatory gaps. The other is that for the developers, the cost of violating the law is too low. In other words, even if the owners accuse the developers of false propaganda and not fulfilling the commitment and even if the evidence is conclusive, according to the present. " Consumer Protection Law ", it is difficult for developers to receive a memorable punishment." Some critics say that this refunding tide actually shows a lot of behind inequality and it is an exposure of the long-term credit crisis in the Chinese real estate market.
