  • Prices in third- and fourth-tier cities dropped 2 percent according to CREIS data.

Beijing's recent property stimulus measures failed to halt falling home prices and transaction volumes in China's lower-tier urban areas. Data from the China Real Estate Index System indicates that values in third- and fourth-tier cities declined by 2 percent year over year. This persistent downturn may compel senior officials to introduce more aggressive support measures to revive the struggling real estate sector.

China property prices drop 2% in third and fourth tier cities amid stimulus failure

Despite recent government intervention, the Chinese property market continues to struggle in lower-tier regions, prompting fears that regulators may need to implement stronger incentives. According to data compiled by the China Real Estate Index System (CREIS), prices in the country's third and fourth-tier cities fell by 2% year-on-year. This downward spiral in home transactions suggests the current stimulus measures are insufficient to reinvigorate the weak market in these specific areas.
