The evaluation report indicated that the real estate market and industry in 2015 further demonstrated the pattern of differentiation: On the one hand, there is differentiation between regions. The growth in the eastern region was higher than those in the central and western regions. The market of the first-tier cities recovered significantly and the market of the second and third-tier cities recovered structurally, but the overall market of the four-tier cities declined; on the other hand, the performance of the real estate enterprises was further differentiated, and the influence of enterprise's brand effect on the market was increasing. Due to such differentiation of the market and industry, the growth of some enterprises exceeded the average level of the industry, while some enterprises were forced to make greater efforts in enterprise innovation and transformation.
