China Home Mortgage Finance Market Analysis
The Chinese home mortgage finance market is poised to register a CAGR of 4% in the upcoming five years.
The Chinese home mortgage finance market was once booming but is now on the verge of a slump. Many homes in China are sold even before they are fully built, which is an important source of income for the developers and often allows them to take on multiple projects at once. At the moment, house prices are falling sharply, people are buying less real estate, construction is slowing down quickly, and mortgage defaults are going up, all of which are bad signs for this market.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the home mortgage finance market in China. The financial services industry and the wealth and debt levels of people were getting worse over time. For individual homeowners, mortgage debt was the single largest source of debt and had the most significant effect on their finances and their ability to stay solvent through wage decrease or wage losses. Most of the time, mortgages are the most important asset on a lender's retail banking book. Changes in originations, repayment schedules, and default rates will have a big effect on the lender's ability to make money and stay liquid.
As households and businesses start to worry about the recession and become less willing to take on more debt, they are more likely to cut back on spending and investing. This could lead to a balance sheet recession and speed up the mortgage crisis in China. Also, with less money to spend, it would be harder and harder for homebuyers to pay off their debt. This will create even more loan delinquencies and put more pressure on outstanding mortgages.
China Home Mortgage Finance Market Trends
Favorable Mortgage Rates is Expected to Drive the Market
Due to the surge in the current property crisis in China, the country's central bank is cutting its benchmark interest rate for mortgages to tackle this situation. Loans for pre-owned homes can be taken out at interest rates below 5 percent for first-time homebuyers in cities including Shanghai, Guangdong province's Shenzhen, Heilongjiang province's Harbin, and Jiangsu province's Suzhou.
Home loans account for about one-fifth of the total bank loans in China, and with the falling interest rates, loans are being approved more quickly. Low-interest rates are an advantage for people who wish to buy a house through a loan. It takes about one month for applicants to receive their loans in the nation's 103 cities, including 19 cities that take less than 20 days. Almost 70 percent of the country's household wealth is stored in residential property, along with 30 to 40 percent of bank loan books, while land sales account for 30 to 40 percent of local government revenue. This is expected to grow the market during the forecasted period.
Government Regulations Boost the Market Growth
The government has eased mortgage costs through cuts in interest rates, relaxed some rules on ownership of multiple properties, and urged banks to lend more to homebuyers. This, in turn, is expected to boost overall lending in China. These measures taken by the government are aimed at reviving housing loan demand while keeping a tight grip on developers' leverage, highlighting the delicate balancing act Beijing has faced since the downturn in the property sector last year.
The government of China will offer 200 billion yuan (USD 29.3 billion) in special loans to ensure stalled housing projects are delivered to buyers; this will lead to the growth of this market during the forecasted period.
