New home sales in Beijing to soar to 16-month high
The number of new houses sold in Beijing is likely to approach the pre- tightening level in May. More than 8,500 apartments were purchased in the first 26 days of May, indicating a 25% increase from the April's figure. Zhang Dawei, chief Centaline analyst, attributed strong performance of the real estate market to price reductions, growing supply and strengthening demand.
