Real Estate Bubble May Be Lurking In China Return to Headlines
According to forecasts from Standard & Poor’s, real estate prices in China will rise 10.3% this year to an unsustainable level, possibly leading to a classic bubble situation. The sharp rise in prices is a key risk to the nation’s economic growth and will affect economic performance if they do not go down. The property sector contributes about 20% to the Chinese economy through real estate investments and related industries, according to Citic Bank International. The Chinese government on their part has already taken steps to cool the market by restricting pre-sales by developers and curbing loans for third home purchase.
