"A lot of people went traveling during the holiday and this was partly responsible for the drop in property sales," said Hu Jinghui, vice-president of the real estate service company 5i5j Real Estate.
Hu said he expects property prices to continue to slide throughout October, as many potential buyers are taking a wait-and-see approach.
