New home prices slid 0.81 percent month-on-month in July, according to a survey of 100 major cities released on Friday by the China Real Estate Index System, a property market data provider.
Among the 100 cities, 76 recorded decline in prices and 24 increase. Prices fell in all of the 10 biggest cities, including Shanghai and Beijing, where the market has been the most robust, suggesting that the chill is deepening.
The price dip came after several cities scrapped curbs on purchases to boost sales. As of Friday, 60 percent of the 46 cities that had such curbs had eased them.
Let's take a look at 10 cities that eased housing purchase restrictions in July alone. Cities included in the list are those who have made an official announcement or officially confirmed the policy adjustment. Some others cities have eased curbs quietly.
