Core Viewpoint - The Shanghai real estate market is showing unexpected strength, with both the second-hand and rental markets remaining active as of the end of 2025, contrary to seasonal expectations [1][3]. Group 1: Second-Hand Housing Market - A significant increase in second-hand housing transactions was noted, with December 2025 seeing over 23,000 units sold, marking the third highest point of the year [5]. - Throughout 2025, a total of 254,218 second-hand homes were sold, with monthly sales consistently above 18,000 units, except for February due to the Spring Festival [5]. - The price adjustments have made entry-level homes more accessible, with many properties now priced below 2 million yuan, reducing the financial burden for buyers [5]. Group 2: Rental Market - The rental market remains robust, with landlords quickly securing new tenants even before the previous contracts expire, indicating high demand [4]. - Rental prices have increased, with one landlord reporting a rise from 1,900 yuan to 2,000 yuan per month for a property that has consistently been rented out [4]. Group 3: Market Outlook - The beginning of 2026 shows Shanghai's second-hand housing transaction volume leading other cities, with 839 units signed during the holiday period [7]. - Analysts suggest that while the market is performing better than in previous years, it has not yet reached a critical point where prices will begin to rise, which is estimated to occur when monthly sales exceed 21,000 units [9].
