Source reporting suggests China’s real estate slump persists into early 2026, with modest price stabilization in major cities but continued sales weakness and significant lower-tier inventory overhang. Policy is shifting from strict deleveraging toward managed stabilization, yet developer distress, cautious bank lending, and local government fiscal constraints remain key headwinds.
Source material indicates China’s real estate downturn extended into a fifth year by early 2026, with record price declines in late 2025 and persistent weakness across sales, starts, and completions. Policy tools aimed at project completion and inventory absorption appear constrained by limited credit uptake and local fiscal capacity, sustaining spillover risks to confidence and financial stability.
The message frames 2025 as the successful completion of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan, citing expected economic output of RMB 140 trillion and highlighting advances in AI, domestic chips, and major national projects. It sets a forward agenda for the 15th Five-Year Plan focused on high-quality development, social welfare measures, openness, climate commitments, and an expanded global governance posture.
Source reporting indicates China’s real estate downturn persisted through late 2025, with steep price declines, large excess inventory, and continued weakness in sales and construction activity. Policy support has expanded via project financing mechanisms and inventory absorption efforts, but constrained credit transmission and LGFV-linked financial sensitivities remain key challenges.
January indicators cited by the source show modest new-home price gains and narrowing resale declines, suggesting early stabilisation led by major cities and premium project launches. Structural pressure remains concentrated in lower-tier markets with excess inventory, keeping the national recovery uneven and policy-dependent.
