Due to the tight lines on credit loan amounts, housing loan rates for first and second homes,have gone up 10 to 15 percent, said an employee from a China Citic Bank branch in Guangzhou. Heavy real estate loans have experienced an increase this year, which in turn has exacerbated tension on bank credit lines, szsb.sznews.com reported.
