  Chen Wenjing, director of market research at the Index Division of the China Index Research Institute, pointed out at a real estate situation analysis meeting that day that in 2022, the average price of residential properties in a hundred cities in China will continue to fall.

Among them, the price of new houses in 100 cities fell by 0.02% year-on-year, which was the first annual cumulative house price decline since 2014. During the year, the average price of new houses in 100 cities fell month-on-month for 7 months.

The price of second-hand housing in Baicheng has fallen by 0.77% cumulatively, turning from rising to falling compared with 2021. During the year, the average price of second-hand housing in Baicheng fell month-on-month for nine months.

  Behind the decline in housing prices is the contraction of transaction volume.

According to the data of the middle index, in 2022, the transaction scale of new commercial housing in China's key 100 cities will be the lowest level in the same period since 2015, a year-on-year decrease of nearly 40%.

In December 2022, according to preliminary statistics, the transaction area of ​​the key 100 cities rebounded slightly, with a month-on-month increase of 6.0%, but the year-on-year decline expanded to over 30%.

Affected by factors such as the epidemic situation in many places, the superposition of multiple policies has not yet reversed the sluggish demand side.

  In 2022, the transaction area of ​​commercial housing in the first-tier and second-tier and third-tier representative cities will decline to varying degrees.

In 2022, under the influence of factors such as the national real estate downturn and repeated epidemics in some areas, the transaction area of ​​commercial housing in first-tier cities will decrease by 23.7% year-on-year, representative cities in second-tier cities will decrease by 38.6% year-on-year, and representative cities in third- and fourth-tier cities will decrease by 34.8% year-on-year.

Driven by multiple benefits, the number of visits to sales offices in some cities has increased, but the market differentiation in different cities is still intensifying.

  Looking forward to 2023, Chen Wenjing pointed out that the sales market is under short-term pressure, and the whole year may be basically the same as 2022.

From the perspective of housing prices, short-term prices continued to fall and stabilized throughout the year.

Since the new start of enterprises is still weak, the downward trend of investment may be difficult to change.
