TREE NEWS reports: China’s National Bureau of Statistics said August new commercial home prices fell year-on-year in first-tier cities by 0.9%, narrowing 0.2 percentage points from July. Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen dropped 2.3%, 1.9% and 2.3% respectively, while Shanghai rose 3.0%. Second- and third-tier city prices fell 2.7% and 4.1% year-on-year, each narrowing 0.1 percentage points.
China August New Home Prices: Declines Narrow Across Tier 1-3 Cities
The story here is the breadth of the narrowing: declines eased in every city tier, not just the top end, which points to a broad-based stabilisation rather than a single-city effect. The split between Shanghai's gain and the continued falls in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen matters most, since it shows tier-one strength is not uniform. Whether that divergence persists, and whether the smaller tier-two and tier-three improvements hold, is the open question.
