Core Viewpoint - The current state of China's real estate market in 2025 shows that despite relaxed policies and attractive mortgage rates, housing prices are not increasing as expected, with significant declines in some areas [1][3]. Policy Changes - As of 2025, 132 cities have relaxed housing policies, with down payments reduced to 15% and first-home mortgage rates as low as 3.25% [3]. - In Hefei, the complete removal of purchase restrictions resulted in only a 7% increase in residential transactions compared to April, significantly lower than the 30% increase seen in 2020 [3]. Market Performance - A project launched in 2023 with 1,200 units sold only 312 units over two years, resulting in a sales rate of less than 26% [5]. - Nationwide, there is a housing inventory of 782 million square meters, which, at the current sales pace, would take 14 months to sell out, with inventory increasing by 5.2% monthly [5]. Price Disparities - In major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, slight price increases were observed, with Dongcheng and Huangpu districts seeing increases of 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively, due to limited new supply [7]. - In contrast, cities like Dongguan and Changzhou experienced significant price drops, with new home prices falling by 18.3% compared to their peak in 2023 [7]. Buyer Sentiment - First-time homebuyers and investors have differing perspectives, with first-time buyers more concerned about price guarantees and developers' reliability [9]. - Data indicates that the average time to resell a property has increased to 6.8 years in 2025, compared to 3.2 years in 2019, making short-term profit from property sales unlikely [9]. Developer Trust Issues - Ongoing issues with delayed property deliveries have led to buyer skepticism, with 23 cities still facing unresolved overdue delivery projects as of June 2025 [11]. - This lack of trust in developers has diminished the effectiveness of policy measures, with transaction volume increases significantly lower in 2025 compared to 2020 [11]. Future Outlook - Core cities may see slight price increases, while third and fourth-tier cities are likely to experience further declines [13]. - The era of significant wealth accumulation through real estate investment may be over, although first-time buyers may benefit from more negotiating power [13].
