She stated, "Further fiscal stimulus could have a counterproductive effect on the economy."

Proactive policy measures will help accelerate the release of housing demand, but the market as a whole is still in the "de-stocking" phase. Affected by the significant reduction in new construction starts and land transactions in recent years, except for some core cities where new housing supply remains at a certain scale, most cities have limited new housing supply. The market is mainly focused on digesting existing unsold projects, and the recovery of market supply and demand still faces certain pressures. According to the "China Real Estate Industry Medium and Long-Term Development Dynamic Model," the national real estate market in 2026 is expected to show characteristics of "continued sales decline, low construction starts, and significant pressure for investment adjustments."
