About CityRE

Who We Are

CityRE (禧泰数据) was founded in 2005 and is China's leading provider of urban real estate data infrastructure. We have built a nationwide, continuously updated dataset spanning 20+ years — forming a comprehensive data foundation across housing assets, residential conditions and urban development.

Our core dataset encompasses urban spatial data, property transaction records, a property value indicator system, and deep analytical intelligence on urban and property markets. CityRE continuously monitors market activity, liquidity trends, prices, rents and supply-demand dynamics — enabling users to track market cycles and understand long-term urban trajectories.

CityRE serves over 10,000 institutional clients across development, asset management, financial services, transaction advisory, consumer and retail, and PropTech. Through our consumer products, we also serve tens of millions of individual users, and operate an integrated ecosystem with banks, property managers and estate agents spanning mortgage services, payment facilities and property transactions.

Our Mission

To monitor China's urban property market — making it legible to researchers, investors, policymakers and advisors — through data that is accurate, consistent and independently verifiable.

We believe quality data is infrastructure. When researchers can trust the numbers, they produce better research. When investors can read a market clearly, they make better decisions. When governments have reliable baselines, they design better policy.
