Property Sales Plunge Prompts Chinese Real Estate
Association’s Call For End To Cooling Measures |
Return to Headlines |
|
|
The China Real Estate Association, which represents more than
2,000 real estate developers and intermediaries across China,
has stated that the current real estate market tightening
measures should be postponed in order to stabilise the market.
This comes after latest figures showed that property prices in
the country have risen at the slowest pace in six months in July
and the value of sales fell 19.3% as compared to a year earlier.
Vice Chairman of the association, Mr Zhu Zhongyi, said that the
cooling sales may prompt concerned developers to slow land
purchases and new projects, which in turn will harm the
industry’s growth over the next few years. |
