China’s new-home prices across 70 cities fell 0.1% month on month in June 2026, after declining 0.2% in May, according to National Bureau of Statistics data calculated by Reuters.
Prices were 3.3% lower than a year earlier, compared with a 3.5% annual decline in May. The figures show that the pace of decline moderated, but prices were still falling on both monthly and annual measures.
The 70-city series is an aggregate indicator. Performance can vary by city tier and local supply conditions, and the headline figure does not describe every development or resale transaction.
Reuters reported that analysts remained cautious about a broad recovery because demand was still weak. That outlook is analysis rather than an official NBS forecast.
For buyers and investors, the distinction matters: slower declines are a measurable change in the latest data, while the timing and strength of any market recovery remain uncertain.
