Abstract: The abnormal fluctuations of the real estate market and the uncertainty of the impact of economic policy adjustments on the real estate market have drawn great attention of the government and scholars. Based on the theory of complexity science, this paper uses complexity methods to study the complexity characteristics of China's real estate market by correlation dimension tests, Lyapunov index tests, dissipative entropy method and R/S analysis method. The results imply that China's real estate system has the non-linear characteristics of "spikes and thick tails" and the chaotic characteristics of inherent randomness and sensitivity to initial values. Moreover, under the monetary policy, the real estate system is in an orderly state, with the characteristics of dissipative structure, long-term memory and self-similar fractal structure. Therefore, China's real estate system cannot achieve an orderly situation by itself, and it is necessary to combine with the continuous monetary policy regulation to achieve a healthy and orderly development of the real estate market.

Key words: real estate system, nonlinearity, complexity, monetary policy
