China's new home market weakened further in 4Q25, with 11M25 sales down 11.2% YoY, GFA sold decreasing 8.1%, and average selling price falling 3.3%, worse than Fitch's full-year forecasts for declines of 7% in sales, 5% in GFA and 2% in average selling price, Fitch Ratings said.

Fitch attributed the market weakness to China's sluggish economy, labor market pressure, and expectations of further price cuts; policy support has offered only temporary relief.

During this quarter, Fitch revised the Outlooks on the 'BBB-' ratings of CHINA JINMAO (00817.HK) and Beijing Capital Development Holding (Group) from Negative to Stable, reflecting outperformance in sales and increased clarity around a business transition, respectively.

Due to repayment risks associated with CHINA VANKE (02202.HK)'s medium-term notes, Fitch downgraded its Long-Term Foreign- and Local-Currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) to 'RD'.
