Central China Real Estate ( (HK:0832) ) has shared an announcement.

Central China Real Estate reported unaudited contracted property sales of RMB398 million for January 2026, a 31.1% decline from a year earlier, with gross floor area sold dropping 36% to 58,636 square metres. The average selling price rose 7.6% to RMB6,788 per square metre, indicating price resilience despite lower transaction volumes.

The company cautioned that these figures are based on preliminary internal records and may differ from data in forthcoming regular reports, stressing that they are for reference only and not investment advice. The sharp fall in sales and area sold underscores continued headwinds in China’s property market and may weigh on the group’s near-term cash flow and investor sentiment, even as firmer pricing partly offsets volume pressure.
