Home prices in top China cities stabilising in January
But nationwide rebound is unlikely in near term due to a massive overhang of unsold homes in lower-tier cities

Still, market watchers said that a nationwide rebound is unlikely in the near term due to a massive overhang of unsold homes - especially in the so-called "lower-tier" cities, where falls in new home prices accelerated last month.
