Regarding the performance of the real estate market in various cities, the National Bureau of Statistics recently stated that in December 2024, among 70 large and medium-sized cities, the selling prices of residential properties in first-tier cities rose month-on-month, while the overall decline in prices in second and third-tier cities narrowed. The year-on-year decline in prices in first, second, and third-tier cities all continued to narrow. From the data for December 2024, sales amount and sales area increased by 2.8% and 0.4% respectively year-on-year. The Bureau of Statistics stated that the real estate market has seen positive changes under the influence of a combination of policies, and market confidence is gradually being restored.
