Core Viewpoint - The current real estate market presents a dichotomy where government policies are supportive of home buying, yet many cities, especially lower-tier ones, are experiencing declining property prices, leading to uncertainty among potential buyers and sellers [1][3][5]. Group 1: Suitable for Buying - Individuals with genuine housing needs, such as marriage, childbirth, or school enrollment, are in a favorable position to purchase homes due to low down payment ratios and mortgage rates [7][10]. - Families looking to upgrade from older properties in first and second-tier cities can consider selling their current homes and purchasing better ones, as there is significant room for negotiation in the current market [12][14]. - Investors with ample funds seeking to acquire quality properties in core urban areas for long-term stability should focus on prime locations and avoid low-quality properties [18][20]. Group 2: Suitable for Selling - Families holding multiple properties in third and fourth-tier cities or suburban areas that are not generating rental income should consider selling, as these assets face significant depreciation risks [22][24]. - Households with high leverage and tight cash flow should prioritize selling non-essential properties to reduce debt and improve financial stability [26][28]. - Families with a heavy concentration of assets in real estate should consider diversifying their investments to mitigate risks associated with a downturn in the property market [30][31]. Group 3: Observational Stance - Individuals looking to engage in short-term speculation without taking on significant risks or those with properties in less desirable locations may benefit from a wait-and-see approach [35][37].

This adjustment period is viewed as a complete cycle in the international context [3][8].
