Abstract

This paper focuses on the impact of the real estate industry on China's economic growth. We discovered, through an examination of certain specialist literature and statistical data analysis, that the real estate sector has been a major factor in China's economic expansion. Particularly, real estate investment is a considerable portion of fixed asset investments and makes a noteworthy contribution to economic growth. However, every coin has two sides. The rapid development of real estate also comes with some problems, such as the risk of real estate bubble and high leverage. Therefore, in order to make the real estate better promote the development of the national economy, the government has decided to guide the orderly and stable development of the real estate industry through policy regulation. In this article, by reviewing the previous literature and analyzing some relevant data about real estate, I will explore the impact of real estate industry on China's economic growth. The research finds that the development of the real estate industry is good for economic growth, but at the same time, policymakers should also pay attention to controlling the development speed of the real estate, such as: real-time monitoring of the market and formulating relevant policies to avoid problems.
