Summary of the Conference Call on China's Property Market Industry Overview - The focus is on the **China Property** market, specifically addressing the challenges of clearing housing inventory and stimulating demand in the context of economic recovery. Key Points and Arguments 1. **Positive Feedback Loop**: Forming a positive feedback loop is essential to overcome deflationary pressures and weak demand, drawing lessons from historical government interventions in the 90s Shanghai property market [1] 2. **Supply and Demand Dynamics**: There is a need to build more housing units in tier-1 and tier-2 cities, with a benchmark housing supply ratio of 1.1-1.15X observed in developed countries. This could help revive upstream industries and stimulate demand [2] 3. **Historical Context**: The current housing industry and macroeconomic backdrop differ significantly from the late 90s, suggesting that the impact of accelerated housing construction will be smaller than in previous cycles [2] 4. **Funding Requirements**: Developers may require a liquidity injection of **Rmb1.4tn-2.8tn** to cover incremental construction and land purchases, with an ideal scenario needing up to **Rmb1.1tn** if demand stimulus is effective [5] 5. **Household Subsidies**: To improve affordability, an estimated **Rmb0.2tn-1.0tn** in subsidies may be necessary, alongside further mortgage easing and removal of home purchase restrictions in tier-1 cities [5] 6. **Market Activity Recovery**: Property market activities are expected to moderately recover to 2022-2023 levels under different scenarios [7] 7. **ASP Trends**: There has been a renewed weakening trend in Average Selling Prices (ASP) across 70 cities, with Class I cities experiencing the steepest month-on-month decline since October 2024 [10][11] 8. **Inventory Management**: Without additional sales, inventory levels in tier-1 and tier-2 cities could surge significantly, necessitating additional sales volume to maintain manageable inventory levels [65] Additional Important Insights 1. **Historical Case Study**: The late 90s housing market reform in China led to oversupply but was eventually resolved through targeted stimulus measures, which could provide a framework for current policy responses [27][28] 2. **Economic Contribution**: The property sector's contribution to GDP has decreased from a peak of 27% to the high-teen percentage level, indicating a need for revitalization [48] 3. **Developer Implications**: Liquidity injections are expected to benefit developers with land banks in higher-tier cities, but increased supply competition may pressure pricing and delay margin recovery [82][83] 4. **Leverage and Funding Gaps**: Developers may face significant funding gaps, with estimates suggesting a gap of **Rmb4.2tn-5.7tn** by the end of 2026 under different scenarios [55] 5. **Affordability Challenges**: The average home price to income ratio in tier-1 cities is above 20X, indicating a significant affordability gap that needs to be addressed through subsidies and easing of restrictions [64][72] This summary encapsulates the critical insights and data points discussed in the conference call regarding the current state and future outlook of the China property market.
