China reports 69% jump in Q1 home sales

THE total value of new homes sold in China in the first quarter surged 69 percent from a year earlier as panic homebuyers rushed to sign contracts before local governments tightened property curbs.

Sales of new homes, excluding government-subsidized affordable housing, totaled 1.2 trillion yuan (US$194 billion) across the country between January and March, the National Bureau of Statistics said today.

By volume, new home sales in the first quarter jumped 41 percent from a year earlier to 189 million square meters.

Meanwhile, investment in housing projects rose 21 percent year on year to 901.3 billion yuan, the bureau added.
