be expanding our coverage to more of China\'s key cities in the upcoming weeks\".


The reports will be continuously updated on a monthly basis and include detailed
data and statistics on second-hand sales and rental prices, prices per meter,
apartment sizes, and average rental yields by district. All data presented in the
reports is based on Jipingmi\'s comprehensive database consisting of millions of
