--FILE--Chinese homebuyers view housing models during a real estate fair in Shanghai, China, 15 March 2013. Controlling home price increases in Chinas capital Beijing and financial hub Shanghai is critical for cooling the countrys broader property market, according to Wang Shi, chairman of Vanke, the mainlands largest real estate developer. Property prices in Beijing and Shanghai have surged over the past decade driving the average home buyer out of the market. New home prices in the two cities rose 8.6 percent and 6.4 percent, respectively, in March from a year earlier. Last month, Chinas central government unveiled policies to curb speculative demand and stabilize prices nationwide. It called for stricter enforcement of a 20 percent capital gains tax on home sale profits and asked cities with fast property price increases to raise the down payment requirement and mortgage rates on second homes.
