TREE NEWS reports: The average residential rent across 50 Chinese cities fell 0.28% month-on-month to 33.87 yuan per square meter per month in October, with the decline widening 0.11 percentage points from September. Year-on-year, rents were down 2.02%, though the drop narrowed 0.21 percentage points. Average rents declined month-on-month across first-tier, second-tier and third-tier cities alike, while a small number of core cities, including Shanghai and Shenzhen, kept prices resilient with residential rents rising for an eighth consecutive month.
China 50-City Average Home Rent Falls 0.28% in October; Shanghai, Shenzhen Rise for Eighth Month
AI take
The divergence is the story: a broader 50-city decline alongside an eighth straight monthly rise in Shanghai and Shenzhen points to a two-speed rental market where core-city demand is holding while the wider base softens. The narrowing year-on-year drop suggests the correction's pace is easing, but the wider month-on-month fall argues against reading that as a turn. Whether core-city resilience can offset the drag from lower-tier cities is the open question, and it matters for anyone tracking rental yields as an income signal in Chinese property.
