China's Real Estate Market Sees Boost Amid Holiday Stimulus
Government measures lead to a surge in home sales during the National Day holiday, but experts call for further actions to sustain recovery.
- Stimulus measures, including lower mortgage rates and eased transaction restrictions, led to a significant increase in home sales during China's National Day holiday.
- Developers like Midea Real Estate and China Resources Land canceled discounts following a rebound in market sentiment.
- Beijing saw an 81% increase in average daily home sales compared to last year's holiday period, though nationwide sales still lag behind previous years.
- Analysts believe that while the recent boost is positive, more substantial policy interventions are needed to address excess inventory and stabilize the sector long-term.
- The real estate market, a critical component of China's economy, has struggled since 2020 due to high debt levels and unfinished projects, necessitating continued government support.
