Depressed prices
Explanation:
In the context of stocks, 'depressed prices' refers to stock with a market price which is lower in comparison to other stocks in its sector.

http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Depressed ...


There is another translation: 'price depression'. However, this seems to be a translation coined by non-native speakers of English, and so I would advise going with 'depressed prices'.

cold spot


Explanation:
这个词挺形象，中文引用地形术语做比喻，英文应该是引用天气术语的。

别墅市场特别是广州，相对临近的深圳，还属于{价格洼地}。
Single-family homes are still a market cold spot, particularly in Guangzhou, compared to nearby Shenzhen.

Just a small rewrite on consideration:
Single-family homes are still a market cold spot, particularly in Guangzhou, as compared with nearby Shenzhen.

undervalued


Explanation:
The whole sentence may go like this:

The other group (of analysts) believe that this is all but marketing hype. The villa market in Guangzhou, compared with that in adjacent Shenzhen, is still undervalued.

(But the orginal sentence doesn't seem very logical. So this is just for your reference. You may need to make some rearrangements.)
