Seldom have we seen an English book concerning the real estate industry in China, but we hear the news about this industry almost every day. The reason is that it is a hot topic related to social life, economic growth, and political stability. Previously, it was highly associated with government resources so only a few foreign investors, especially European and North America developers, have participated in the market. Nowadays with the maturity of real estate development, government transparency about its operations, and high standards of housing from consumers, it is now a great opportunity for the foreign investors to join in this market. This book aimed to describe the status, characteristics, and new trends of this industry. This book attempts to paint a panorama of this industry, including houses, offices, senior housing, co-working spaces, logistics, rental apartments, and industrial real estate. Some of these fields are imported from outside and are still in their preliminary stages. The book attempts to provide information about policies, the players, business models, stakeholders, profits, and traps. It will give the readers a brief and clear image of this industry that was previously an unopened black box.

China’s residential real estate sector plays an important role in the economy and has been a key driver of growth. Since 2014 the sector has softened visibly, reflecting overbuilding across many cities. An orderly adjustment of the sector is welcome. The key questions are how severe the adjustment will be and how long it will last. This paper uses various datasets, an analytical framework to estimate demand and supply conditions, and develops a number of scenarios to determine the oversupply both at the national level and by city tiers. It highlights that the adjustment will be a multiyear process with adverse implications for investment and growth. Smaller cities, as well as those in the Northeast region, face more challenging demand-supply dynamics. The key will be to allow the adjustment to take place, while avoiding a too sharp of an economic slowdown.
