China's residential property market is experiencing a significant downturn, with prices in 70 cities falling to their lowest levels since 2005. According to data from the Bank for International Settlements, the inflation-adjusted residential property price index dropped to 86.79 in Q4 2025, marking a 23% decline from its peak in late 2021. This downturn, described as a 'slow-motion collapse,' has persisted for four years, with real estate investment falling 14.7% in the first ten months of 2025. The crisis has severely impacted major developers, including Evergrande, which collapsed under $300 billion in debt. Amid these developments, discussions have emerged in India regarding the potential for a similar housing market correction. While some express concern over economic factors such as a weakening rupee and stock market volatility, others argue that India's housing market is structurally supported by strong demand and urbanization. Experts emphasize that a direct comparison between the two markets is complex, given India's unique dynamics.
