Home Prices Stay Flat in China
By AARON BACK
BEIJING—Average property prices in October in 70 Chinese cities covered by a government survey were essentially unchanged from September. That marked the second straight flat month, indicating prices are stabilizing after a rebound starting in June raised concerns that further measures might be taken to cool the sector.
Data released Sunday by the National Bureau of Statistics showed prices were steady in October despite an increase in housing transactions in recent months. Prices of newly built homes in 35 of the 70 large and midsize surveyed cities were higher in October than in September, versus 31 cities whose prices in September were higher than in August.
Compared with the same month a year earlier, prices of newly built homes were down in 56 of the 70 cities in October, compared with 55 cities in September. Prices of newly built homes in major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou were flat to marginally higher in October compared with September.
Dow Jones Newswires' calculations showed prices in the 70 cities in October were up 0.05% on averagefrom a month earlier, compared with a 0.01% increase in September.
October prices were down 1% on average from a year earlier, decelerating from a 1.19% decrease in September and August, according to Dow Jones Newswires calculations.
China's overall housing prices are stabilizing, the housing ministry said Monday, adding that the property market is trending in a direction expected by the government, which it said will continue to combat speculative housing demand and support genuine demand for homes from owner-occupiers.
The real-estate market has softened during a nearly three-year-old government campaign to rein in excessive price rises.

Prices have been rising slightly on a sequential basis for five months, according to the NBS data, following eight straight months of price declines. Broadly stable property prices are the government's desired outcome, analysts say, since they will allow for the affordability of housing to gradually improve as average incomes rise.
Last week, during the Communist Party Congress where China unveiled a new generation of leaders, Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Jiang Weixin signalled that the controls will remain in place.
"The unreasonable demand for houses has been significantly curbed since 2011," the ministry said in a statement. "For the next step, various government departments will have to resolutely continue the property controls."
Property-related shares fell the next day on China's stock markets.
