Source reporting indicates China’s property downturn persisted into early 2026, with continued price declines, weak sales, and heightened restructuring focus among major developers. Policymakers and local governments appear to be shifting toward stabilisation tools—potentially including mortgage support and inventory absorption—to rebuild confidence and support consumption.
SCMP topic-page items indicate China’s property downturn persisted into early 2026, with falling prices, weakening sales, and continued developer balance-sheet stress. Policymakers and cities appear to be shifting toward targeted stabilisation measures, but limited fiscal space and uncertain restructuring outcomes remain key constraints.
The source indicates China’s real estate slump persists into early 2026, with weakening sales, further price declines, and structural oversupply weighing on stabilization prospects.

Source text indicates China’s real estate slump intensified in early 2026, with sharp sales declines among major developers and particularly severe weakness among offshore US-dollar bond issuers.

Source material indicates Beijing has made property-sector stabilization the top priority for 2026, emphasizing supply control, inventory reduction, and localized policy execution.

Source reporting from late 2025 to January 2026 indicates Beijing is moving from incremental easing toward a broader stabilisation posture as housing prices continue to decline and confidence remains fragile.

The source indicates China’s new-home market hit a decade low in 2025, with sharp declines in sales value, investment, starts, and completions alongside rising inventory.
