专题 | 重点城市库存结构特征与存量供给研判

Core Viewpoint - The real estate market has stabilized since 2025, with new supply being restrained, leading to a weak recovery in transactions and a significant reduction in inventory levels, particularly in certain cities facing severe supply constraints [1][3][31]. Group 1: Inventory and Depletion Cycle - As of April 2025, the narrow inventory across 50 cities has decreased to 30.557 million square meters, reflecting a 1% month-on-month decline and a 10% year-on-year decline [3][4]. - The depletion cycle has shown a downward trend, reaching 20.98 months by the end of April 2025, with a 0.5% month-on-month decrease and a 6% year-on-year decrease [4][7]. - Inventory levels in first-tier cities remain stable, while second and third-tier cities have seen a reduction, with depletion cycles in first and second-tier cities dropping below 20 months, while third and fourth-tier cities still face cycles of around 30 months [7][31]. Group 2: Freshness of Inventory - Approximately 54% of the inventory consists of supply from 2020 to 2023, with first-tier cities exhibiting significantly higher freshness compared to second and third-tier cities [10][14]. - Cities like Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Chengdu have a high proportion of fresh inventory, while cities like Wuxi are burdened with older stock, with nearly 30% of inventory being from over ten years ago [17][32]. Group 3: Area Segmentation - The primary inventory is concentrated in the 100-140 square meter range, with 100-120 square meters and 120-140 square meters accounting for 24% and 20% of the total inventory, respectively [20][23]. - Smaller units (below 70 square meters) and larger units (above 180 square meters) have seen a decrease in inventory share, with the 70 square meters and below segment dropping to around 8% by April 2025 [22][24]. Group 4: Housing Type - Three-bedroom units dominate the inventory, making up 52% of the total, while four-bedroom units account for 28% [27][28]. - The inventory pressure for two-bedroom units is notably higher in second and third-tier cities compared to first-tier cities, where three and four-bedroom units are more prevalent [28][31]. Group 5: Future Outlook - Three categories of cities are identified as facing significant short-term supply constraints: 1. Hot cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Chengdu with low inventory and short depletion cycles [31][32]. 2. Second and third-tier cities with high old inventory and long depletion cycles, such as Hohhot and Wuxi [32]. 3. Cities with mismatched supply and demand, like Guangzhou and Dalian, where inventory structures do not align with transaction structures [35].
