Core Viewpoint - The recent interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and subsequent monetary easing measures in China are expected to positively impact the second-hand housing market in Hefei, leading to a potential stabilization and recovery in property prices [2][9]. External Policy Support - The Federal Reserve's interest rate cut has narrowed the interest rate differential between China and the U.S., providing an opportunity for international capital to reallocate towards Hefei's real estate market, which is seen as a promising investment destination [2][3]. - The expectation of a weaker U.S. dollar and stronger Chinese yuan may attract overseas investors to Hefei's real estate, particularly in core areas like the Government Affairs District and Binhu District, enhancing market confidence [2][3].

Market Fundamentals - Hefei's strong urban fundamentals, including continuous population inflow and persistent housing demand, particularly in well-developed districts, are crucial for supporting the second-hand housing market [5][9]. - Unlike third and fourth-tier cities facing high inventory pressures, Hefei's market is experiencing a temporary emotional downturn, with core areas likely to see price stabilization and potential recovery as demand is activated by lower interest rates [5][9]. Practical Guidance for Buyers and Sellers - For first-time buyers, the current environment presents a favorable opportunity to purchase homes at lower costs, with ample listings available [7][10]. - Sellers in non-core areas should consider selling during this window of opportunity to avoid further losses, while those in prime locations may benefit from waiting for a more stable market next year [7][10].

Market Adjustment Factors - The market adjustment on September 2 was influenced by multiple factors, including technical pressure from accumulated profit-taking after a prolonged upward trend since April [3]. - There was a significant rotation of funds from high-valuation growth sectors, particularly in technology, to undervalued defensive sectors such as banking and utilities, amplifying market volatility [3]. - The negative sentiment from the substantial decline in U.S. tech stocks and the market's cautious stance ahead of the Federal Reserve's September meeting contributed to the adjustment [3]. Long-term Market Support - Despite the recent downturn, the core logic supporting a medium to long-term positive outlook for the market remains intact, driven by ongoing policies in sectors like "Artificial Intelligence+" and measures aimed at stabilizing growth and boosting consumption [5]. - The rapid decline is seen as a quick release of risks, effectively digesting profit-taking and eliminating localized bubbles, which can accumulate strength for future upward movement [5]. Short-term Market Outlook - In the short term, there is potential for a technical rebound following the recent sharp decline, supported by ample policy tools for growth stabilization and expectations of possible interest rate cuts [7]. - The anticipated easing of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and a weaker dollar may enhance the attractiveness of RMB assets, potentially leading to a continued inflow of northbound capital [7]. - The significant trading volume of 2.87 trillion yuan during the decline indicates a release of short-term selling pressure, with stabilization in key sectors providing support for the market [7]. - The emotional release from the sharp drop may lead to a stabilization of market sentiment, allowing for a recovery of quality stocks that were oversold [7].
