BEIJING: New home prices in China fell for the third straight month in September as a mortgage boycott across the country and a slowing economy discouraged potential home buyers, a private survey showed on Saturday.
Prices in 100 cities fell 0.02 per cent in September from a month earlier, after declines of 0.01 per cent in July and August, respectively, according to a survey by China Index Academy , one of the country's largest independent real estate research firms. Official new home prices for September will be released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Oct. 19.
Sporadic COVID-19 lockdowns have also dampened consumer confidence, while job losses and weak economic growth have made many more careful about their spending.
