High-end housing still a hot property

High-end housing projects are continuing to be hot sellers, despite the government's attempts to curb rising home prices, real estate researchers are saying.

And a survey released by property consultancy company DTZ shows that average rents for Beijing's high-end residential properties climbed for the third consecutive quarter, reaching 146.4 yuan per square meter per month, a 5.2 percent increase quarter-on-quarter.

Among all the high-end homes, "serviced apartments", which are known for their convenience, topped the list for rent increases.
