Know: All about China’s housing crisis

Since 2020, there has been a housing market crisis in China that has put both the domestic and international markets at risk.

A lack of liquidity severely hurt developers, particularly the Evergrande Group, and set off the crisis.

Previous growth in the sector was fueled by speculative investment and excessive borrowing, which has resulted in unstable financial conditions.

Here are some of the effects of the crisis:

Real estate output

Real estate output experienced a 1% year-over-year decline in the third quarter of 2020, marking the first instance of a decline since the pandemic’s beginning.

Home prices

In over half of the cities surveyed, home prices decreased month over month in October 2021 for the first time since April 2015. New home prices dropped in 2024’s first half at the quickest rate in nine years.

Property investment

Investment in real estate decreased by 10.1% in the first half of 2024 when compared to the same period the year before.

Home sales

Home sales by floor area fell 19.0% in the first half of 2024.

Mortgage holders

As more and more mortgage holders become insolvent, banks are compelled to sell their properties at public auction for low prices.

Since all mortgage-lending banks are owned by the state, this has weakened efforts by the government to regulate prices.

In reaction to the crisis, the government has loosened mortgage regulations and attempted to make it unlawful for home prices to decline. Though, some claim that these actions are ineffective.
