Houses Become "Sunk Costs": China's Mortgage Collapse and the Bank Fire Sale Begins

China’s real estate market is entering its darkest winter. Housing prices continue to plunge, triggering a nationwide wave of “mortgage inversion” — where homeowners owe more to the bank than their homes are worth. Countless families have lost their down payments, their properties, and still remain deeply in debt.

This video compiles real stories from Chinese bloggers and families who are crushed under massive mortgages. From newlyweds to retirees, many emptied six family wallets to buy a home at the 2021 peak — only to see prices fall 40–50%.

At the same time, Chinese banks are now directly dumping thousands of repossessed homes onto the market at 50–80% of market price. Rural commercial banks, city banks, and major state-owned banks have all joined the clearance sale, signaling a surge in non-performing loans and a dangerous squeeze inside China’s financial system.
