China home sales

China homebuyer demand still seems bigger than the market

Mainland authorities have clamped down on credit, punished fake divorcees and chased down naughty brokers in their campaign to stamp out housing inflation, but home prices just rose by their fastest pace in twenty months. While homebuyers still want condos, villas or even closets, government policies may have had more of an impact on developers, as new investment in the sector dipped to 2018 lows. Outside of China’s real estate circus, warehouse builder ESR is ready to open its first three India projects and more fun could be on the way in Malaysia. Read on for all these stories and more.

Average new home prices in China’s 70 major cities rose 1 percent in June from a month earlier, higher than the previous month’s reading of 0.7 percent, according to Reuters calculations based on an official survey on Tuesday.

Mainland Property Investment Slumps to 2018 Low

Growth in real estate investment, which mainly focuses on residential but also includes commercial and office space, cooled to 8.4 percent in June year-on-year, compared with a 9.8 percent rise in May, according to Reuters calculations based on data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) released on Monday. While analysts say the pace of investment remains robust, it was nonetheless the slowest pace of growth since December 2017. Read more>>

THE relationship between China Communications Construction Co Ltd (CCCC) and its joint-venture (JV) partner George Kent (M) Bhd is understood to be fraying at the seams because of issues. The two companies have a joint venture called CCCC-George Kent JV on a 51:49 basis.
