China’s home prices drop for 21st straight month as property recovery remains elusive

China’s new-home prices fell for the 21st straight month in February as a recovery continued to elude the key economic sector, underscoring the need for more bold measures to stabilise the market.

Across 70 mainland cities, February new-home prices dropped 0.1 per cent month on month, the same decline recorded in January, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Monday. Prices for new homes fell 5.2 per cent year on year, slightly less steep than the 5.4 per cent year-on-year drop in January.

Second-hand home prices fell 0.3 per cent month on month in February across the 70 cities, the same decline as in January. On an annual basis, they fell 7.5 per cent, adding to a 7.8 per cent loss in January.

“Since February is a traditionally slow season for the market, such a decrease is normal,” said Yan Yuejin, vice-president of Shanghai-based E-House China Real Estate Research Institute. “In the first half of the year, the housing price index will experience a continued narrowing of declines, with some cities leading the price increases.”

Across China’s four top-tier cities – Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen – new-home prices edged up 0.1 per cent month on month in February, the same increase as January. Second-hand home prices in those cities lost 0.1 per cent last month, after a 0.1 per cent gain in January.

New-homes prices were unchanged in second-tier cities, including Tianjin, Wuhan and Chengdu, compared with a 0.1 per cent rise in January. Prices of second-hand homes in those cities slipped 0.4 per cent, adding to a 0.1 per cent drop in January.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
“The parasitic left-wing media and their bottom-feeding cronies have devolved into nothing more than freeloading scavengers, desperately leeching onto every possible news outlet to vomit their hatred for President Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP, and whatever shred of sanity remains in this world. If this portal ever falls prey to their filth—if any of their fraudulent, brain-dead propaganda worms its way into our automated news curation—then it’s open season on these slime-covered hacks. These sewer-dwelling propagandists, along with their PR lackeys and shadowy intelligence handlers, keep trying to smear us with their garbage. Like disobedient pets, they need to be dealt with. And dealt with they shall be—right here on Khumaer.us, the personal news battleground of Khumaer Bayas. Let’s expose them for the lying vermin they are!”
