The latest round of tightening measures have already taken effect in some cities. But in others, where regulation measures are yet to be implemented, buyers are rushing to seal the deal on property purchases.

In a property sales center in Nan'ning, capital city of China's southern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the hall is crowded with prospective buyers.

Mr. Chen, one home buyer said "I want to take a look. If the prices are reasonable, I will consider buying a property."

Mr. Meng, one home buyer said "We are also looking at homes elsewhere."

The boom is also hitting the eastern city of Suzhou, where regulation measures are expected to be implemented soon.

Mr. Tang, one home buyer said "My son will get married soon. I will buy him a home. It's been reported a limit on purchases will be imposed. We have to hurry up."

Chinese home buyers may be anxious, but developers are also uncertain. Many have sped up development plans, ahead of the proposed regulations.

Around 10 homes were traded per day on Suzhou's property market at the beginning of February. But now, that figure has skyrocketed to more than 100.

Industry insiders expect purchase limitations on the number of homes will drive many to buy larger properties, with room for development.

Meantime, property investors are moving to commercial properties, which are still free from intensive regulation.
