China's property sales experienced an immense YoY decline in August due to deteriorated construction activities, Morgan Stanley's research report indicated. The broker stayed cautious about the physical market, predicting that the weak sales trend will persist into 4Q due to waning consumer sentiment, increased inventory, and limited policy measures.

The National Bureau of Statistics reported a steady drop in housing prices across 70 cities in China, with the primary market down 0.3% MoM in August and the secondary market down 0.6%, including a 0.1% decrease in the primary market and a 1% downfall in the secondary market in T1 cities.
