Group 2: Demand Dynamics - The demand for rigid housing is declining due to an aging population and a shrinking young demographic, leading to a long-term decrease in housing demand [6]. - The improvement in housing demand is becoming more rational, as many potential buyers are now more cautious due to reduced incomes and job losses during the pandemic, leading to a preference for holding cash when prices are falling [6]. Group 3: Regulatory Environment - The imminent implementation of a real estate tax is anticipated, which could significantly increase the holding costs for property investors, thereby contributing to a downward trend in housing prices [8]. - The construction and supply of affordable housing are accelerating, with cities like Beijing planning to provide 400,000 units of affordable rental housing during the 14th Five-Year Plan, which will likely divert demand away from the commercial housing market [9].
