Home price growth slows in Oct, raising doubts about recovery

China's home price rise slowed for the second straight month in October, according to government statistics.

Combined with slowing growth in home sales and declining growth in real estate investments, the result raises questions on whether the property market recovery since April has come to an end, analysts said.

New home prices rose in 27 cities of the total 70 tracked, compared with 39 in September, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Wednesday.
