Sales of luxury homes in mainland China’s top cities are picking up as high-net-worth individuals, benefiting from the country’s tech boom, splash out billions of yuan to improve their housing. The buying binge has sparked expectations of a broad market recovery after a six-year property slump across the country, according to brokers. But analysts said such homes represented just a small portion of the mainland’s property industry, with increasing sales and higher prices not enough to turn...

Beijing has unveiled a package of measures to shift home sales in China’s vast property market away from a presales model, in a stronger-than-expected push to stabilise a property downturn that has weighed on consumer demand for years. A notice released on Friday laid out reforms to China’s home sales system, telling local governments to prioritise completed-home sales. It was jointly issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the...

China's central bank and financial regulator unveiled new property sector guidelines. These measures aim to reduce developer reliance on presale funds significantly. Mortgages will now be issued only after housing projects are fully completed. Local governments will promote the sale of completed homes to prevent delivery risks. Financial institutions will take a greater role in project financing and monitoring.

With China rolling out a stronger-than-expected package of measures to transition the housing market away from a presales model, analysts said the shift is a double-edged sword for real estate developers: tighter regulations are poised to squeeze cash inflows, even as the reforms aim to stimulate sales and stabilise prices over time. Under new rules released by the People’s Bank of China, presales would remain in effect but down payments and mortgage funds would be disbursed to developers...

Financial markets are notoriously prone to mistaking a fundamental institutional shift for a temporary liquidity crisis. The futurist Roy Amara is often credited with the observation that people tend to overestimate the short-term effect of a transformation while underestimating its long-term impact. China’s real-estate sector is furnishing a textbook case of an analogous dynamic. On August 28, Chinese housing authorities and financial regulators announced a package to overhaul the commercial...

China's new home prices declined again in August, continuing a prolonged property downturn. Major cities showed signs of stabilization, while smaller markets still faced price drops. Government measures aim to boost buyer confidence and developer funding models. Property sales and construction remain weak, contributing to economic slowdown.

China is rolling out new economic initiatives to revitalize its struggling property sector. The central bank has slashed interest rates on its lending facility, promoting targeted bank loans. Furthermore, first-time buyers can benefit from mortgage interest subsidies on eligible properties. These measures aim to boost housing demand, especially in lower-tier cities experiencing economic challenges. Experts predict these policies will foster recovery in the affected sectors.

Official figures published by the National Bureau of Statistics in September reveal that secondary market home transactions have surpassed new residential builds in...
