‘The continued deterioration in sentiment among potential real estate buyers, a slowdown in China’s economy and the Beijing Olympic Games all contributed to the sharp decline in both primary and secondary real estate transaction volumes across most of the cities where we operate.
‘The total sales volume of properties sold by E-House also declined compared to the third quarter of 2007, when the market was at its peak. However, we were still able to achieve revenue and profit growth, largely due to our rapidly expanding consulting and information services business.’
