Abstract

The stability of the real estate market is of great significance to the healthy development of urban economies and societies. Public expectations, as the psychological judgments of market participants regarding future trends, play a crucial role in the fluctuations of the real estate market. Based on the theoretical connotations of public expectations, this paper systematically analyzes the impact mechanism of public expectations on real estate market fluctuations and explores the multi-dimensional pathways of influence from the demand side, supply side, and market sentiment. The research findings indicate that public expectations significantly impact the supply-demand relationship and price fluctuations in the real estate market by influencing housing purchase demands, developers' investment decisions, and market sentiment. During periods of market prosperity, optimistic expectations drive up demand and prices; whereas during market adjustment periods, pessimistic expectations suppress demand and lead to market downturns. Additionally, policy expectations play a significant guiding role in the behavior of market participants and market trends. Through case analysis, this paper further reveals the mechanism of public expectations in the actual market and proposes policy recommendations to strengthen expectation management, optimize policy design, and enhance the rational decision-making ability of market participants. The research points out that the complexity and diversity of public expectations make it an important endogenous factor in real estate market fluctuations. Policy makers, real estate companies, and homebuyers need to work together to address this issue in order to promote the stable and healthy development of the market. The research in this paper provides theoretical support for understanding the role of public expectations in the real estate market and offers references for the formulation of relevant policies and the decision-making of market participants.
