Nano-buildings have emerged in recent years, and the smaller and smaller the new building units are, they look like sub-divided houses.
The local research agency found that the rate of change of hands of Nano Buildings is very high. Among the Nano units sold in the past ten years, 722 units have changed hands. The owners only held the goods for 3.48 years on average, and some units were even rented out as homestays.
In addition, the local research agency also integrated the top ten profit-making cases of Nano Building in the past ten years, and found that the owner made an average profit of 2.38 million yuan. In the first phase of Lanshan, Nano Disk Industry sold the goods after 3.32 years, earning 2.31 million yuan. , The profit more than doubled,
The local research agency pointed out that the data shows that the nano-buildings seem to be full of "speculators" and the units are difficult to meet the long-term needs. Therefore, many buyers hold the goods for a short time. It is recommended that units with an area of less than 260 feet be defined as "unsuitable residences". In other words, a policy framework of "residence space standards" should also be established.

In the early years, the government introduced the "extra stamp duty" in the property market, restricting flats from changing hands within three years of the transaction, and they would have to pay a large additional tax.
The local research agency found that after the three-year restriction on transfers, the transfer rate of nano-units was high.
The research agency pointed out that among the nano-units sold from 2010 to 2020, a total of 722 units changed hands. The owners held the goods for an average of 3.48 years, which is equivalent to selling units immediately after the "extra stamp duty" expires in less than half a year, with an average book value. Profit 706,000 yuan.

They held the goods for 5.16 years and made an average profit of 2.38 million yuan.
The study found that the most profitable is the 8 low-rise units of Lanshan Phase I, with a unit area of only 180 square feet.
