The decline in new dwelling costs in China accelerated in July, with smaller, lower-tier cities struggling the sharpest falls, in response to Goldman Sachs calculations based mostly on authorities information.
New dwelling costs declined 2.5 per cent month-on-month on a seasonally-adjusted annualised foundation, a sooner decline than June’s fall of two.2 per cent.
In first- and second-tier cities, costs fell 0.1 per cent and 0.5 per cent, respectively, whereas third- and fourth-tier cities registered drops of three.9 per cent and three.3 per cent.
12 months on yr, the weighted common new dwelling value throughout 70 giant and medium-sized cities was unchanged.
