China has poor house price statistics. The National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBSC) has quarterly house price time-series but these are not publicly available. Another source of house price indices is eHomeday, Shanghai's largest property market web site, which has time-series for Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Beijing, Yangzhou and Suzhou (but the site is only in Chinese, and no time-series are available). Colliers International publishes useful housing data in their quarterly property market reviews. General economics statistics are available from the NBSC and the People’s Bank of China.
