It is an unusual year of 2008. As Olympics Games gorgeously showed and financial crisis violently surged up，China met with both challenges and opportunities. Against this background，Beijing municipal government promulgated a series policy to regulate leasing market，which results in its better development. In the first half year of 2008，the leasing market in Beijing was featured as buoyant supply and demand as well as extremely active transaction. Especially when the market fell in a sustain wait-to-see mood，many potential buyers changed to rent a housing rather than purchasing one，which led to the increase of transaction volume and rent in leasing market. In the second half year of 2008，affected by gradually serious financial crisis，the rent changed from increasing to decreasing，and the ratio of rental to sale kept stable with slight decrease.

The effect of financial crisis would still exist in 2009 with serious employment situation. It is expected leasing demand would reduce with less transaction activeness and decreasing transaction volume. The rent would experience certain rational dropping adjustment in the first half year of 2009 and then keep stable. Meanwhile，the ratio of rental to sale would scale down further.
