China home prices seen falling 3.5 percent in 2026
A Reuters poll indicates Chinese home prices will likely drop 3.5% this year before edging up in 2027 as the market enters a slower adjustment phase. While property investment and sales remain under pressure, analysts expect policy support and inventory reduction efforts to gradually stabilize the sector.

China home prices are expected to fall 3.5% this year, a slower decline than the 4.0% drop forecast in March. Prices are projected to rise 0.3% in 2027 and 1.8% in 2028 as the sector moves toward a slower adjustment phase. The slower correction could ease default risks, though property investment is still forecast to slump 12.0% this year.
