As China’s real estate market continues to defy government efforts to bring it back to life, market players and analysts trying to call the bottom are out of signposts.

But this one has already dragged on for two and a half years despite almost a year of dramatic policy easing. Nothing that national or local authorities tried has moved the needle.
