- "The Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities have not seen much of a correction in land or apartment prices. Moreover, developers’ sentiment about sales volumes seems pretty good, and they do not appear to be postponing construction. A wave of new supply is planned for September. Developers on the whole seem to think sales volumes will be down 20-30% y/y this year, which is eminently survivable."
- "This is important, since if sales and construction activity holds up in most Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, then the economy will not tank, and the State Council will not be forced to loosen real-estate or monetary policy."
- "Developers expect apartment prices to fall more in the Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, but this is acceptable, and developers are taking advantage of lower land prices to build up their land banks. Credit conditions have tightened, but not to the extent seen in 2008. Moreover, many developers still appear to be pretty cash-rich."
- "Problems such as land hoarding and accessing bank lending to fund land purchases still appear common, however. We are also seeing significant forinvestment buying in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities."
