Anjuke

Overview

Anjuke is one of China's established real estate information platforms.

Many people turn to it first when searching for second-hand homes, new homes, rentals, office spaces, and shops. Its positioning leans toward "information and lead generation": helping you find properties, check market trends, and connect with agents, rather than acting as a brokerage that closes deals itself.

Core Features

1. Multi-Category Property Listings
Covers buying, selling, and renting: second-hand homes, new developments, shared rentals, and whole-unit rentals.
It also has entries for commercial real estate and overseas properties, with filtering by city, residential compound, and map, making it suitable for initial research.

2. Housing Price and Property Tools
You can check community market trends, property information, and real estate Q&A.
Built-in tools include a mortgage calculator, housing provident fund calculator, and early repayment calculator.

3. Online Viewing and Communication
Supports photos, panoramas, and VR property viewing (Lingan VR and related capabilities tied to the 58.com ecosystem).
You can contact agents through in-app chat or phone calls.

4. Promotion for Agents and Developers
Agents post listings and gain exposure through listing packages and promotional products.
On the new homes side, there are also marketing collaborations for developers.

Pricing Model

Browsing is basically free for ordinary renters and homebuyers.

Platform fees mainly target the B-side:

• Agents / brokerages: listing packages, posting quotas, refresh/featured/bidding promotions, etc.
• Developers: new home advertising and marketing partnerships Prices are subject to change. Please refer to: https://www.anjuke.com/

• Practical Highlights

  1. VR/panoramic viewing can reduce unnecessary in-person trips
  2. Price tools help you first develop a sense of whether a listed price is reasonable

FAQ

Q1: Does it cost money to search for properties on Anjuke?
Viewing and filtering listings are usually free.
After a rental or purchase is completed, fees are mostly paid to agents or according to the contract, not as a paid membership required before searching.

Q2: Is Anjuke a real estate agency?
More accurately, it is a real estate information platform.
Most listings are posted by agents and developers, and the platform is responsible for display and connection.

Q3: How do I choose between Anjuke and Beike/Lianjia?
If you want to cast a wide net and compare prices, Anjuke is very suitable.
If you care more about standardized viewings and transaction processes, many people also check the Beike system.
You can also verify the same property on both platforms.

Q4: Are the listings reliable?
There are verification and promotion mechanisms, but the platform cannot guarantee that every listing is genuine.
Be wary of prices that are suspiciously low or anyone pushing you to pay a deposit or transfer money first.

Q5: Can individuals post listings directly?
Rental and sale listings are mainly posted through agent accounts.
The common path for individual landlords is to have an agent post on their behalf, or check whether local support for individual posting exists.

Q6: Is it app-only?
The website, mobile web, and app are all available.
You can filter on your phone while traveling and review details on a computer at home.

Q7: Is the listed price the final transaction price?
Listing price ≠ transaction price.
Second-hand homes often have room for negotiation; rentals may also have separate service fees or agency fees. Always rely on on-site inspection and the contract.
