<ul><li>According to Beijing Daily, Beijing Lianjia has lowered commission rate for existing home transactions (EHT) in Beijing, from previous nominal rate of 2.7% to 2.0%, and will start to charge 1.0% each on both home sellers and buyers, instead of only from the buyer side.</li><li>In the prudent scenario, we estimate a 1.5/6.3% negative impact on Ke Holdings (Beike)’s group-level contribution profit (CP) in 2023/2024E.</li><li>However, we expect limited long-term impact on Beike’s earnings from the adjustment of commission rate, as: 1) current commission rate for EHT in Beijing could be lower than 2.7%; 2) Lianjia in cities other than Beijing may have limited room to cut rates given actual rates could be lower than 2%.
