China Jinmao, Sinochem Corporation, and Others Drive Affordable Housing Sales in October
China’s Property Market Recovery
In October, China Jinmao, a subsidiary of Sinochem Corporation, experienced a remarkable 66% surge in contracted sales, totaling 11.6 billion yuan. This boost can be attributed to Beijing’s recent economic stimulus measures, including rate cuts that spurred consumer confidence.
Key Players in October
- Longfor Group saw a 37% increase in sales, reaching 11.2 billion yuan.
- China Vanke reported a 23% rise in sales to 21.4 billion yuan.
Government Support and Market Challenges
Beijing has also approved a 6 trillion yuan bond quota to help address hidden debt and support the property market.
- Tax policies announced will further support healthy development.
- The Ministry of Finance aims to utilize special bonds for idle land acquisition.
According to Yan Juejin from E-House China Real Estate Research Institute, the repurposing of commercial housing into affordable housing may alleviate some inventory pressures.
Looking Ahead
Despite the positive sales data, Shen Meng warns of ongoing challenges tied to demographic declines. For instance, cumulative sales for Vanke are down 35.2%, while Longfor's year-to-date sales mark a 44.2% drop.
