Fangdd aims to enter real estate stock asset services sector

Fangdd said, “Due to urbanization slowdown and per capita housing saturation in China, the traditional real estate industry is constantly shrinking in development scale, and the Chinese real estate market is gradually shifting from an “incremental market” to a “stock market”. In the long term, stock assets will be continuously accumulated in scale and value, and the operation of stock assets will become increasingly significant, which will inevitably replace incremental real estate development as the main track. In the United States and Japan where the real estate markets are mature, a group of excellent asset service enterprises have emerged in the areas of long-term rental apartments, commercial real estate, and other stock assets. In response to this trend of the real estate industry, Fangdd plans to enter the trillion dollar market of real estate stock asset services and actively explore related business. In 2024, Fangdd has planned a strategic blueprint for real estate stock asset services: by filling gaps, elongating strengths, and forging new strengths, Fangdd aims to build a leading platform of real estate stock asset services with comprehensive service capabilities of operation, sales, and technology. To this end, Fangdd will focus on the following two aspects in 2024: 1. improving asset revitalization capabilities by establishing the operational and technological services required for real estate stock assets; 2. increasing service asset projects by seizing potential opportunities of stock assets mainly in the areas of apartments, commercial properties and industries. With many years of experience in real estate transaction services, Fangdd has self-operated business in 15 cities of China. Due to an average of nearly 20 years of real estate operating experience, our founding team has a profound understanding of real estate industry in terms of operation and management. In the short term, under the continuous downward trend of the real estate transaction business, Fangdd, through the strategic layout of real estate stock asset services, can diversify income sources and resist the operational risks from sole dependence on transaction commissions. In the long run, real estate stock asset services can bring new business opportunities and growth momentum and opportunities and new growth poles, which will contribute to our business transformation and upgrading.”
