Total investment in residential buildings in Shanghai 1981-2022
In 2022, the total investment in residential housing in Shanghai reached 278.9 billion yuan, representing an increase from the previous year. Since the housing market reform of the 1990s, investments in residential real estate in Shanghai skyrocketed, from less than five billion yuan in 1991 to almost 45 billion yuan in 2000. The figure grew further at a moderate speed until 2008, before substantial investments poured into the real estate sector after the global financial crisis.
