The China Index Research Institute published an article stating that according to the survey data of 100 new construction and second-hand housing sales markets and 50 urban rental markets in China's real estate index system, the second-hand housing market remained highly active in May 2026, and the popularity continued to be stronger than in the same period in previous years. The average price of second-hand housing in Baicheng was 12,692 yuan/square meter, down 0.32% from the previous month. The decline was 0.14 percentage points narrower than the previous month. Among the core cities, second-hand housing prices in Shanghai have been rising for 3 consecutive months. In terms of market trends, with the advent of sales nodes in mid-year, the pace of promotion of high-quality projects in key cities and the marketing efforts of housing enterprises are expected to increase. Sales of new homes in core cities may continue to be moderate, but the pattern of differentiation between cities and projects will become more prominent. Second-hand housing transactions are expected to remain stable in mid-year. Against the backdrop of a gradual decline in listing volume, the price decline is expected to remain within a narrow range.
