China’s property market is expected to fall 8% in 2025, deeper than S&P’s earlier forecast, as weak homebuyer sentiment and limited government support weigh on recovery.
Why Is China’s Property Market Falling Faster Than S&P’s Expectations?
About the Revised Forecast
S&P Global Ratings has revised its outlook for China’s real estate sector, now expecting an 8% decline in 2025 compared to its earlier May forecast of a 3% drop. Sales are estimated to fall to between 8.8 and 9 trillion yuan, roughly USD 1.23–1.26 trillion. The downgrade reflects deepening pessimism among homebuyers and a lack of fresh policy measures from the government.
Sentiment and Policy Gaps
Despite earlier measures in September 2024 to stabilize the market, including liquidity support for developers and eased mortgage rules, the rebound has not materialized. Market participants remain cautious as developers struggle with financing challenges and inventory build-up across key urban centers like Shanghai and Shenzhen.
Investors tracking global real estate trends should note that the ongoing weakness in China’s property market may ripple into Asian commodity demand and financial markets. The shift also underscores the limited impact of short-term stimulus measures when consumer confidence remains low.

Potential Global Implications
An extended downturn could weigh on global construction material demand, particularly steel and copper. It might also affect the credit outlook for banks and developers with exposure to China’s property sector. For investors in emerging markets, this could mean heightened volatility in the short term.
