China Real Estate Sector Report 2021 2nd Quarter

In the first quarter of 2021, the sales volume and sales revenue of China’s real estate sector reached 360mn m2 and RMB 3,838bn, which represented y/y increases of 63.8% and 88.5%, respectively. Compared to the first quarter of 2019 before the coronavirus crisis, these two indicators also achieved increases of 20.7% and 41.9%, respectively. The higher sales results of the sector were driven by many favourable factors. Firstly, China continued its quantitative easing policies in the first quarter. As a result, the country’s broad money supply (M2) rose by 9.4% y/y to RMB 227.7tn, while its loan prime rate (LPR) was maintained at the lowest level since 2019. The monetary easing policies ensured sufficient liquidity of the economy, lowered the cost of mortgage loans and thus stimulated the real estate market to a great extent. Besides, China’s property price has been steadily increasing since the second half of 2020, which also drove all potential real estate buyers to accelerate their purchasing process. In addition, the lasting global coronavirus pandemic severely restrained China’s overseas investment. Consequently, a great deal of capital flowed back to China’s domestic investment market, boosting the sales of real estate as well.​
