Average new home prices in 100 Chinese cities rose 0.18% in January, following government support signals. First- and second-tier cities saw price increases due to new high-end projects, while third- and fourth-tier cities faced declines. The resale market prices fell 0.85%. The property sector is adjusting after a liquidity crisis, with recent policy changes indicating a shift in reporting requirements. Sales may slow in February due to the Spring Festival, but demand is expected to rise in March as developers promote new projects.
