- The y/y increase in average price was mostly contributed by tier-2 and
tier-3 cities - 30 out of 31 tier-2 cities and all 35 tier-3 cities all reported
prices rise. Among four tier-1 cities, prices in two gained, one fell and one
was unchanged.
- New-home price in Xi'an, capital of northwestern province Shaanxi, came
at first place on a monthly basis with 6.2% gain. On y/y basis, Haikou, capital
of tropical Hainan province, recorded the most gain of all cities again at
21.7%. The beach city benefited from a policy announced in April calling for
further opening up of the island in the South China Sea to foreign investment .
