China's new home sales rose sharply in March, as a slew of support policies boosted a pickup in demand across the board in 14 surveyed cities, a private survey showed on Monday.

The data will be welcome news for the sector, once the pillar of China's economic growth, but which was crushed by several crises since mid-2021, including developers' debt defaults and stalled construction of pre-sold housing projects.
