In July, Shenzhen's real estate market was unexpectedly active during the traditionally slow season. Data shows that in July, the city recorded 2,664 new residential property sales, a year-on-year increase of 32.5%. Reporters visited several new developments on sale in Shenzhen, where staff indicated that since the April 29 relaxation of purchase restrictions in core areas, a large influx of buyers from other regions has occurred. The proportion of out-of-town buyers has risen from less than 10% in previous years to over 20% and continues to grow. Additionally, apartment buildings are nearing sold-out status, with some projects selling 40% of their units immediately upon opening, and nearly 120 residential units sold in just three and a half months. Industry insiders believe there is general optimism for the upcoming traditional peak sales period of September and October.
