Growth in China’s new housing prices came in at the slowest annualised pace in half a year last month, but accelerated in month-on-month terms to the quickest clip since November as more cities saw prices rise, according to official data.

官方数据显示，上月中国新建商品住宅价格同比涨幅为半年来最低；不过，由于房价上涨的城市增多，上月的环比涨幅是去年11月份以来最高的。

The cost of new housing across 70 major cities rose 11.3 per cent in March from a year earlier, based on a weighted average from Reuters using data from China’s National Bureau of Statistics. The fall marks the fourth straight month of headline deceleration from a peak of 12.6 per cent in November

根据路透社(Reuters)对中国国家统计局数据的加权平均，3月份，中国70个大中城市新建商品住宅价格同比上涨了11.3%。自去年11月达到12.6%的峰值后，同比涨幅已连续第四个月回落。

But short-term price trends rebounded¹, with average housing prices rising 0.6 per cent month on month in March, double the 0.3 per cent growth seen in February – albeit² still well down from September’s peak of 2.1 per cent.

不过，短期房价走势呈现反弹，3月份平均房价环比上涨了0.6%，涨幅比2月份的0.3%高了一倍——尽管仍远低于去年9月2.1%的峰值。

In month-on-month terms, average prices rose in 62 out of 70 cities and fell in 8. In February 12 cities had seen prices fall, with prices in two holding steady from a month earlier and rising in 56.

环比来看，70个城市中有62个城市的平均房价上涨，8个城市下跌。而今年2月，下跌的城市有12个，2个城市的房价持平，上涨的有56个。

In year-on-year terms March saw prices rise in 68 cities and fall in just two, whereas in February three cities saw average prices drop.

同比来看，3月份有68个城市的房价上涨，下跌的城市只有2个，而2月份有3个城市的平均房价下跌。

The most populous³ urban centres saw growth soften⁴ slightly, according to a now regular report on top-tier cities’ price trends issued by the bureau. In Beijing prices grew 20.6 per cent year on year, down from 24.1 per cent in February, with a straight average of trends for the 15 listed top-tier cities recording⁵ a drop of about 3 percentage points to growth of 22.3 per cent.

根据一份如今由中国国家统计局定期发布的一线城市房价走势报告，人口最多的中心城市涨势略有放缓。北京房价同比上涨20.6%，低于2月份的24.1%。名单中15个一线城市房价走势的直线平均录得约3个百分点同比涨幅下滑，同比涨幅滑落至22.3%。
