Feb 07 - Housing Market Turnover Still Low in the First Working Week


Source: Shanghai Securities News, ChinaScope Financial (Data)
+       In the first working week after the Spring Festival holiday, the housing market turnover has recovered to the pre-holiday level, but remains generally low.
+       The China Real Estate Index System monitored 40 cities, in which 36 posted decreases in weekly average turnover compared to last year. Turnovers in the 15 out of the 36 cities were reduced by more than 50%. Key housing markets, such as Beijing and Shanghai, are plagued by weak supply and turnover.
Weekly property transaction normalized in the week following the Spring Festival, but the destocking cycle was extended due to the “zero transaction” in the week prior.
