China Home Prices Fall 0.2% in 70 Cities as May Setback Halts Recovery

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 16

Summary

  • New-home prices in 70 Chinese cities fell 0.2% in May from April, a slightly faster decline than April’s 0.19% drop and a setback to the early-2026 stabilization.
  • Resale home prices, a less policy-distorted gauge of demand, slid 0.26% from April—the steepest monthly fall in three months.
  • National Bureau of Statistics data released Tuesday suggest the green shoots seen at the start of the year have faded, undermining hopes that the property market was beginning a sustained revival.
