Abstract: This paper examines the current situation in the Chinese property market. We have analyzed the current literature and statistics for this purpose. First, the general significance of property ownership in China is presented. Then the market is analyzed from four perspectives: Central government (growing concern over the indebtedness of significant property developers while the sector accounts for a large share of GDP), regional government (importance of revenue from land use transfer and regular tax revenue), property developers (business model designed for rapid growth, financed to a large extent by customer down payments and debt) and buyers (delayed completions of prepaid housing leading to financial burdens from financing, as well as other aspects such as the hukou system and population decline). The analysis of these four perspectives shows the current complex environment in the property sector. Due to the high macroeconomic importance of the property sector in China, stabilization is seen as one of the most significant challenges for economic development in 2024.
