Core Viewpoint - The Chinese real estate market is expected to experience a significant divergence over the next three years, with third and fourth-tier cities facing continuous decline while first-tier cities and strong second-tier cities show resilience and growth driven by population and industrial factors [1][3]. Group 1: National Housing Market Trends - A predicted nationwide decline in housing prices of 5%-10% by 2025, with third and fourth-tier cities being the hardest hit due to lack of industrial support and population attraction [3]. - By 2026, smaller cities may see an additional price drop of 5%-12%, while first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai maintain relative stability due to their financial and technological advantages [3]. - By 2027, 80% of third and fourth-tier cities are expected to face ongoing price declines, while satellite cities around major urban centers may experience a 5% structural price increase due to improved transportation links [3][5]. Group 2: Urban Disparities - The gap between cities is widening, with luxury properties in core areas of first-tier cities expected to see annual price increases capped at 5%, serving as a stable asset for high-net-worth individuals [3]. - Areas with national-level planning in strong second-tier cities may see annual price increases of 8%-10%, while cities like Hangzhou and Chengdu benefit from a dual engine of industry and population growth, projecting annual increases of 6%-8% [3]. - Ordinary second-tier cities may experience stagnant price movements, with fluctuations within a ±3% range, while the myth of "ever-increasing school district housing prices" may be shattered by reforms leading to declines exceeding 10% in older properties [3]. Group 3: Challenges in Third and Fourth-Tier Cities - Third and fourth-tier cities are facing a "dark moment," with 80% expected to experience price declines, particularly resource-depleted cities that are seeing a significant drop in fiscal revenue and housing demand [4][5]. - Some cities have vacancy rates exceeding 25%, far above international warning levels, indicating a severe oversupply of housing [4]. - Satellite cities around major urban centers may still present opportunities due to their ability to attract commuters and retirees, potentially leading to structural price increases [5]. Group 4: Investment Strategy - The real estate market is entering an era of "precise investment," where selecting the right city is more crucial than merely betting on price increases [6]. - Core assets in first-tier cities remain valuable, but there are risks associated with the failure of planned developments in peripheral areas [6]. - For investors, focusing on the economic fundamentals of cities—such as population inflow, industrial upgrades, and favorable policies—will be more important than simply predicting price movements [6].
