Group 4: Future Outlook and Recommendations - The real estate market is expected to gradually stabilize, with two favorable factors for the land market in 2026: the implementation of special local government bonds and improved financing conditions for real estate companies [17]. - To stabilize land transfer revenue, it is crucial to implement systemic policies to restore market confidence and support local governments through increased fiscal transfers or debt limits [18]. - Recommendations include establishing a "Real Estate Stability Fund" to support distressed projects and encourage local governments to optimize real estate policies to meet housing demand [18][19].
