Real Estate Foresight

Since 2012, REF has been helping investors with market research, project due diligence, and strategy development. This has ranged from detailed assessments and estimates on distressed developers' project portfolios to market due diligence on specific projects to macro-level questions linked to demand for commodities. The unique combination of the housing markets and developer data from data partner China Index Academy in Beijing, primary research, and technology-powered alternative data collection from public sources result in a valuable content set used in REF analytics and reports.

Predictive Analytics for China Property

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

The March data released today by China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) shows the market for new home sales continues slowing down very gradually in terms of volumes. More significantly, the past 2 months saw declines in land sales (land acquisitions by developers) on a year-to-date and 3-month year-on-year basis, which could potentially indicate a sharp change of the trend from 2018. This early signal is based off only 2 data points, though. Historically, land sales have been a strong predictor of future price growth (with a long lag) - as the most basic measure of supply.

<h2>Executive summary</h2>
We launch our inaugural joint policy research on China’s Greater Bay Area (GBA) with the assistance from Joy Rich Securities Investment’s Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area Academic Research Group. Here we highlight what comprises GBA, timeline, comparison against major economies and other bay areas, deep-dive research into key industries and policies toward each part of GBA. China is a Policy-induced story and GBA is in the Chinese government’s interest to prosper.
We believe the composition of 9 cities and 2 special administrative regions, together with policy support by the Chinese government provides a backdrop for rising credit growth backed by productivity. We will continue to monitor credits which either are based in GBA or will benefit from the GBA scheme (EXHIBIT 9).
