What once acted as a powerful engine of growth has become a persistent drag, weighing on confidence and reinforcing caution among buyers who now expect prices to keep declining rather than rebound.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9180\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/z2-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/z2-9.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/z2-9-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/z2-9-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The downturn reflects deeper structural issues. Years of heavy construction created excess supply, while tighter regulations and developer debt problems weakened trust in the sector. At the same time, demographic shifts and slower income growth have reduced the pool of eager first-time buyers, especially in smaller cities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9181\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/z3-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/z3-10.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/z3-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/z3-10-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Price declines are no longer limited to new homes. Resale markets are also softening, suggesting stress across all tiers of cities. This erosion of household wealth feeds back into weaker consumption, as property remains the main store of value for many Chinese families.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9182\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/z4-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/z4-11.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/z4-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/z4-11-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite policy easing and targeted support, the market shows little sign of a quick recovery.
