Core Viewpoint - The recent surge in banks disposing of non-performing assets through direct sales of foreclosed properties has encountered unexpected market resistance, with over 9,000 properties failing to attract bids, highlighting significant challenges in the current real estate market [1][10]. Group 1: Market Response - Over 9,000 properties went unsold due to lack of bids, with some areas like Beijing and Guangdong experiencing complete bid failures [1]. - The concept of "bank direct supply housing" is intended to provide clearer property rights, yet many properties still harbor unresolved historical issues, deterring potential buyers [1][3].
