House prices in the Banqiao Jiangcui North Zone continue to rise. In the past, it was regarded as a relatively people-friendly AB district. The average transaction price of pre-sale housing has increased by nearly 45% in four years, from 493,400 yuan per square meter in 2021 to 714,600 yuan in 2025. The increase is second only to the DEF district, and house prices have officially reached the prefix 7. With the completion of residential buildings and the influx of people, regional development has gradually shifted from the early land development stage to competition in terms of living functions and living quality.
According to the real-price registered pre-sale residential transaction data for the whole year of 2021 and 2025, housing prices in all districts on the north side of Jiangcui have grown significantly. Among them, the average price in the DEF district has increased from 555,200 yuan per square meter to 862,300 yuan, an increase of 55.3% in four years. The highest among all districts, the unit price of the index project "Longxin Shoufu" was about 850,000 to 920,000 yuan; District AB ranked second with an increase of 44.8%, with the average price rising from 493,400 yuan to 714,600 yuan, and the unit price of the index project "Ri'an PARK" was about 680,000 to 740,000 yuan.
In other districts, the average price of District G rose from 569,300 yuan to 781,400 yuan, an increase of 37.3%. The unit price of the index project "Binhe Imperial View" was approximately 660,000 to 910,000 yuan. In District C, the average price rose from 474,900 yuan to 648,600 yuan, an increase of 36.6%. The unit price of the index project "Lixin Qinglang" was approximately 600,000 to 670,000 yuan.
Lin Zhefu, vice president of Xinyi Agency Sales, said that the AB area on the north side of Jiangcui attracted home buyers in the early days with relatively affordable housing prices. As the construction projects were handed over and residents moved in, the regional settlement gradually took shape, and the considerations for home purchase also extended from simply comparing prices to living conditions such as lighting, layout and surrounding environment.
Compared with some DEF districts that are close to the MRT Jiangzicui Station and have better commuting conditions, District AB still retains a certain unit price advantage. The average transaction price difference between the two districts in 2025 is approximately 147,700 yuan per square meter. For owner-occupied families, District AB is close to the Zhongzheng Road business district and has daily shopping functions. The surrounding schools, parks and 435 Art and Culture Zone also provide convenience for pick-up and drop-off, leisure and parent-child activities, which has become an important condition for the area to attract owner-occupied buyers.
In terms of residential products, new projects have recently entered AB District. The soon-to-be-released "Mantingwujing" has a planning area of 21 to 42 square meters. It focuses on the design of bright halls and bright rooms. Among them, the three-bedroom apartments of 35 square meters have three-side lighting and window bathrooms. Some units face the green space and the campus, demanding lighting and visual conditions. The "Ri'an PARK" next to Shuangshe Park mainly has two to three bedrooms in small and medium-sized square meters, providing options for families who want to balance the number of rooms and the total price.
Lin Zhefu pointed out that the existing business district and public facilities in AB District already have a certain foundation. As housing is handed over and the population continues to move in, the demand for nearby commercial services will also have the opportunity to increase. In particular, Xinyi Jiapin Mall continues to attract investment and introduce stores, which is expected to increase nearby shopping and consumption options in the future.
