0912 GMT - China's property sector could see a sequential sales slowdown heading into the off season in summer, but the on-year decline could narrow given last year's low base, HSBC analysts say in a research note. However, China's land sales in June reached 199 billion yuan, 51% above the five-month average this year, signaling developers' improved confidence and a robust land market, they say. The analysts reckon that the solid land auction is a prelude to a sustainable sales recovery in 2H. Meanwhile, top-tier cities' high-end markets are thriving, driven by robust upgrade demand, they add. HSBC expects continued price appreciation in quality new homes, facilitating the price stabilization process. China Resources Land, C&D International, China Jinmao and KE Holdings are among HSBC's favorites. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
