The statement reflects a "much clearer understanding about the seriousness of the situation," said Qin Gang, executive director of China real estate research institute ICR.
He expects policies beneficial to the real estate market and consumption will come out in coming days.
So far, the biggest real estate policy change has been this month's extension of measures to support developers, which were first revealed in November.
