Core Viewpoint - The reasonable valuation level is the foundation for the implementation of real estate policies, and when the benefits of new policies equal or exceed their costs, the space for real estate policies is expected to open up [2].

Market Outlook - As housing prices continue to adjust, it is anticipated that more cities will meet the criteria of stable total demand and reasonable valuations by 2026, further opening up the space for real estate policies [8].
