Galaxy Securities previously pointed out that real estate sales and new construction starts continue to be under pressure, and the pace of completion has begun to slow down. Affected by the high base and seasonality, the overall recovery of the real estate market has been relatively limited since the release of industry policies. The decline in sales has put a lot of pressure on housing enterprises to return capital, making it difficult to secure investment capital, and the real estate market may maintain a sluggish trend in the short term. In the medium to long term, as economic expectations improve and policies maintain a relaxed environment, it is expected that the real estate market will pick up somewhat.
