Chinese house prices fell last month, according to data released Friday.
The world's second-largest economy is grappling with a property crisis that's threatened to drag down growth.
Policymakers have responded by cutting down-payment requirements and mortgage rates.
The figures cover a period before policymakers slashed down-payment requirements and allowed lenders to cut mortgage rates in a bid to boost China's long-suffering real-estate sector.
Falling house prices tend to weigh on a country's overall level of wealth, which fuels a decline in spending that drags down growth.
