Once the market commentors were bearish and they predicted that the index would peak at twenty thousand points. Then the index would fall repeatedly from highest point to the lower position. However, the index rose more one thousand points since the first trading day of this year. As a result, it broke through twenty thousand points, the boundary between bulls and bears.

Therefore, the small price hike is almost certain after the lunar new year.
Since the border crossing reopening and the normalization of the public policies, the property price will rise steadily. If there are no other major adverse events in the world affair, it is highly possible that the property price will rise 5% before the mid of this year.
