Affordable housing can be bought and sold, but it should meet the standard of five years of living in the affordable housing. Those who have not lived in the housing for five years cannot be sold at market prices. Affordable housing must be taxed, including deed tax, stamp duty and personal income tax. However, how is this "five years" determined? Generally speaking, this is the time when the household purchasing the house obtains the deed tax payment certificate or the time when the housing ownership certificate for the affordable housing is issued.

Families who purchase a house can provide any proof to determine the length of stay in the affordable house. If the affordable house is for more than five years, they only need to pay 10% of the comprehensive land price of the house transaction value, and then go to the land, resources and housing bureau where the house is located to handle the transfer procedures with the house ownership certificate, deed tax payment certificate, house transfer contract and other documents.

If it is an affordable housing less than five years old, the owner can only sell it to families that meet the purchase conditions of affordable housing at a price no higher than the purchase price, or purchase it by relevant government departments. Of course, don’t forget to prepare the original house sales contract, house transfer contract and other certificates.

Legal basis: Documents such as the "Notice on Issues Concerning the Listing and Sale of Purchased Affordable and Affordable Housing" stipulate that if a household that has purchased an affordable housing has obtained a deed tax payment certificate or a house ownership certificate for less than 5 years, it shall not be listed for sale at market price. If a household that has purchased an economically affordable house has obtained a deed tax payment certificate or a house ownership certificate for more than 5 years, and the economically affordable housing really needs to be put on the market for sale, it must pay a certain proportion of land income equivalent.
