Summary of Conference Call on Real Estate Market Trends in 2026 Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the real estate market in 2026, highlighting a divergence between new and second-hand housing sales.

Key Points and Arguments New vs. Second-Hand Housing Market - New home sales are at their lowest level in four years, with a cumulative year-on-year decline of 27% across 44 cities. First-tier cities saw a slight increase of 1.8%, while second-tier cities grew by 3.8%, and third and fourth-tier cities experienced a decline exceeding 30% [2]. - Second-hand home sales are performing well, with a 9.6% year-on-year increase in 22 cities, nearly matching the sales levels of 2023. First-tier cities saw a 13% increase, second-tier cities 6%, and third and fourth-tier cities 18% [2]. Price Trends - The price decline in key cities has moderated, with a 0.5% drop post-Spring Festival compared to a 1.3% decline in the same period last year. First-tier cities have stabilized, while second-tier cities saw a 0.2% drop and third and fourth-tier cities a 0.12% drop [3]. Market Indicators - The market shows signs of high transaction volumes but weakening prices, indicating that the "small spring" may be nearing its peak. The number of listings in 49 key cities increased by only 1% post-Spring Festival, compared to a 3.5% increase in 2025 [3][4]. - Viewing activity peaked but has recently declined by 2%, suggesting a potential downturn in transaction volumes in the coming weeks [4].

Investment Strategy Recommendations - The current "small spring" differs from previous years as it lacks significant policy support, indicating a natural market recovery. Investment strategies should focus on companies with low historical burdens and those in the home improvement and furnishing sectors [5][6]. - Suggested investment directions include: 1. Prioritize companies with valuations at historical lows and a safety margin [6]. 2. Focus on companies with low land acquisition ratios post-2022, which may show better resilience as the market stabilizes [6]. 3. Look for regional markets showing signs of price stabilization, such as Hong Kong's real estate sector [6]. 4. Pay attention to the post-cycle real estate supply chain, as increased second-hand sales may boost demand in home improvement and appliance sectors [6].
