’Blueprint’ homes selling fast in county--Now that China’s government has limited the purchase of housing in the country’s first-tier and second-tier cities, homebuyers are shopping in smaller cities and even remote counties, where housing prices are also soaring。

“图纸房”县城热销——由于政府已对一线、二线城市的房产实行限购，买房者开始将目标转移到了小城市甚至偏远县城，那里的房价也开始疯涨起来。

在上面的报道中，blueprint homes或blueprint housing就是“图纸房”。“图纸房”是指凭借简单的户型图进行销售的商品房。一般都是地产商get a piece of land at auction(拍下一块土地)，印出simple blueprints of the project(简单的户型图)，吸引大批购房者，在收到capital in the presale(预售款)后再开工建设。

事实上，购买这种blueprint housing的风险比forward-delivery housing(期房)还要大。如果“图纸房”的开发商碰到资金问题放弃了该项目，那么购房者将很难拿回自己的advance fees(预付款)。
