Industry fundamentals are expected to bottom out in the fourth quarter, but 2022 is still a year under pressure. In the context of de-financialization, it is difficult to see twisting improvement in the financing side of real estate enterprises. if there is no continuous improvement on the demand side, then the downward sales will bring rebate and capital pressure, which is not conducive to the improvement of the supply and demand structure of the industry. it is also not conducive to the stable development and virtuous circle of the industry. As a result, a new round of policy support is expected in the first quarter of 2022, bringing improved demand and downside risks.
Risk hint: the market demand is falling faster than expected, and the development of the culture and travel plate is not as expected.
