Lu expected the transaction volume of pre-owned homes this year to be lower than that of 2009 because of the government's tightening real estate policies, but said prices would increase.

The company saw transaction value exceeding 81.8 billion yuan last year. Currently, it has 1,133 outlets in 31 regions and 15,550 brokers.
