Daily real estate briefing: Rising supply, slower apartment price growth and strong social housing demand

The real estate market continues to see notable developments as supply rises sharply after a prolonged period of compression. Nearly 100,000 products have been introduced to the market, raising concerns about oversupply, although liquidity at many new projects shows that demand for quality products remains. In Ho Chi Minh City, apartment price growth is slowing as supply improves and purchasing power weakens, while forecasts suggest that a significant correction could emerge between 2028 and 2030. Hanoi is also expected to enter a period of adjustment and clearer market segmentation over the next two years. In the social housing segment, more than 12,000 people registered to compete for 750 apartments, highlighting strong demand while developers continue to face obstacles related to capital, profit margins, procedures and land funds. In Me Linh, the Minh Duc social housing project includes 612 apartments, of which 551 are expected to be offered for sale at an estimated price of nearly ...

Daily Highlights: VietinBank expands real estate investment; Vingroup updates seal after logo change; Tokyo office rents surge; Hanoi drives housing and infrastructure projects

In the real estate sector, VietinBank is expected to officially sign a deal to transfer ownership of an office tower currently under construction at Ciputra to a leading real estate enterprise, as reported by Vietcap Securities. In parallel, Vingroup announced it will update its seal design after changing its logo to mark its 33rd founding anniversary, with the new seal effective from August 15. Turning to urban development, a land area of nearly 3.5 hectares in Kim Lien Ward is set to see two towers reaching 568 meters, with an estimated total investment of roughly 3 to 3.5 billion USD, described as aiming to become the tallest building in the world.

On the global market and city life, average office asking rents in central Tokyo hit the highest level in 30 years. The increase is linked to demand for office space rising while supply remains tight. In Vietnam, housing remains a key concern as discussions compare the option of buying versus renting under the gap between income and property costs, including an example of monthly rent around 20 million VND for an apartment in central areas. Hanoi is also pushing housing development with 114 social housing projects approved for investment in 2026, with some projects expected to begin construction within the year.

Regarding infrastructure and urban governance, information indicates that the Hanoi–Quang Ninh expressway project may serve around 830 households in Hai Phong that are expected to be relocated to support the project, while related resettlement areas are forecast to start construction in December. In administrative oversight, the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City issued a fine of 280 million VND to City Garden Joint Stock Company for violations related to housing management and disclosed details regarding the sale of houses to foreign individuals and organizations. Other updates in today’s news include developments related to investment plans in Thủ Thiêm and the approval to adjust the investment policy for the Đà Phước international urban area project in Da Nang, with capital of nearly 55,000 billion VND.

Real Estate News Brief: Credit, Infrastructure and Supply Enter a New Phase

The real estate market continues to see notable developments, ranging from credit policy and land regulations to changing buyer behavior. As Hanoi home prices have climbed so high that even high-income earners are becoming cautious, experts have proposed classifying real estate credit risks instead of applying blanket restrictions. Under this approach, resources should be prioritized for legally compliant projects that meet genuine housing demand. The trend of buying property for living, business, exploitation and cash flow generation is also gradually replacing speculative sentiment, while the launch of professionally developed projects is giving buyers more options. On the financial support front, Vietcombank has introduced a VND 20 trillion credit package with interest rates reduced by 1 percentage point per year, while VIB is offering a five-year fixed interest rate policy for homebuyers. In terms of management and infrastructure development, Prime Minister Le Minh Hung signed De...
