Core Viewpoint - The rental yield in first-tier cities in China is currently around 1.5% to 2%, significantly lower than the 4% benchmark, suggesting that property prices may need to decrease by 40% to 50% to reach a more sustainable rental yield [1][2]. Group 1: Rental Yield Comparisons - Rental yields in major international cities are higher than those in Chinese first-tier cities, with Tokyo at approximately 5% to 6.9%, New York around 6%, Los Angeles at about 4%, and London at approximately 5% [1]. - Historical rental yields in Shenzhen have decreased from 7% in 2007 to an estimated 1.5% in 2025, indicating a long-term downward trend [2]. Group 2: Market Dynamics - The shift from "agreement transfer" to "public bidding" for land sales in 2004 led to increased land prices, which subsequently drove up property prices, with a 40% increase noted from 2004 to 2006 [4]. - The cultural context in China, where homeownership is prioritized over renting, contributes to a higher demand for purchasing homes compared to renting, resulting in a supply-demand imbalance in the rental market [5][6].

Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the real estate industry [11]. Core Insights - The policy goal of stabilizing the market has somewhat boosted market expectations, but marginal downward pressure has increased since April. The rapid decline in industry volume and price may have passed, with structural highlights in core areas and quality properties. The importance of real estate in the economic internal circulation cannot be overlooked, and attention should be paid to leading real estate companies with regional and product advantages, as well as those with stable cash flows [5][9]. - The rental-to-sale ratio, which is equivalent to the capitalization rate, is crucial for stabilizing housing prices. A rental-to-sale ratio below 2% is considered insufficient, and the actual interest rate is the key factor influencing this ratio. The current focus is more on housing consumption rather than investment [3][9].
