Shanghai Real Estate | Empty Buildings

There is a lot of building activity up here in Shanghai and I have the privilige of experiencing it up close. In previous posts I showed pictures of nearby construction sites.

It’s time for an update. It still isn’t finished as at times they seemed to slow down a bit. Not a big surprise as they the surplus of space results in many emtpy buildings.

One of the official numbers mentioned is of 6 million square meters of unsold space this year. As numbers in China are the same as lotto results elsewhere else I dare to say the numbers are on the conservative side.

Prices seem to go down and the big staring game seems to have started.

Buyers are waiting for prices to fall further, while sellers are unwilling to make additional cuts for fear of fueling the downward spiral.
