Both investment and demand sides exhibited accelerated declines, with development investment year-on-year growth at -23.2% and new construction area at -29.3%. Sales amount and area decreased by -25.1% and -19.6% respectively [63][71]. - The base effect is anticipated to narrow the year-on-year decline in 2026, but it cannot be linearly extrapolated for long-term industry judgments. Continuous tracking of industry trends and high inventory levels is necessary [64][72]. - The current inventory reduction trend persists, with a rapid decline in completed areas indicating a decrease in unsold projects. The proportion of unsold units in construction is rising, suggesting that the industry faces significant challenges in inventory reduction [64][73]. Summary by Sections 1. Investment Decline and Sales - In the first ten months of 2025, real estate development investment decreased by 14.7% year-on-year, with a notable decline in new construction area by 19.8% [6][10]. - Sales figures also reflected a downturn, with total sales area down by 6.8% and sales amount down by 9.6% compared to the same period in 2024 [27][8]. 2. Funding Sources - Total funding sources for real estate reached 7.89 trillion yuan, a decrease of 9.7% year-on-year.

Inventory and Sales Ratios - As of October 2025, the nationwide unsold housing area was 7.56 billion square meters, with a sales-to-completion ratio of 2.06, indicating ongoing inventory challenges [39][44]. 4. Market Outlook - The report suggests that while short-term new projects may drive sales, long-term inventory issues remain due to high debt levels among developers. The market is currently treating new and old projects separately, which may be feasible in the short term but poses long-term pressures [64][73].
