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 Real Estate Briefing: Electronic Property IDs, Major Infrastructure Projects and Market Price Trends

The main real estate development today is the official assignment of a unique 12-digit electronic identification code to every land parcel and construction project. People can access publicly available location information on VNeID. From September 1, homeowners and landowners will have their own identification codes, be able to look up information on the application, and no longer need to resubmit data already available when completing procedures. Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City is applying unified regulations on land parcel subdivision and consolidation across the city from August 28, with minimum areas of 36 square meters for residential land and 500 square meters for agricultural land.

The market is also seeing a series of large-scale infrastructure projects launched around September 2 in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Phu Quoc. These projects are expected to expand urban development space, create new growth poles and redistribute land values over the next 10 to 20 years. However, capital availability and the market’s absorption capacity remain challenges that must be addressed to generate stronger growth. In Ma Lang, a trillion-dong urban improvement project has officially started. Local residents hope to be resettled on site, receive proper compensation and maintain stable living conditions and livelihoods. Hanoi is beginning to concretize its 100-year master plan through 81 detailed plans, while also selecting a contractor for the West Lake waterfront improvement project. In the northern region, seven expressway routes are being developed through 14 projects or component projects, with their progress requested to be accelerated.

Regarding prices, some street-front houses in Ma Lang are being offered at more than VND 1 billion per square meter. Around West Lake, asking prices commonly reach hundreds of millions of dong per square meter, with some exceeding VND 1 billion. Eight land parcels in the new Cau Giay Urban Area are set to be auctioned. The 231-square-meter parcel has the highest starting price, at nearly VND 41 billion, equivalent to VND 176.6 million per square meter. Although genuine housing demand remains, mortgage interest rates of 13 to 16 percent per year are prompting many people to rent instead of buy, putting pressure on liquidity. Experts say home prices are unlikely to return to previous levels because land, construction, financing and legal costs all remain high. In the corporate sector, Vingroup paid more than VND 57 billion in remuneration, salaries and bonuses to senior executives during the first half of the year, while Chairman Pham Nhat Vuong received no remuneration. KDI Group also opened the Alora Nha Trang show house, providing customers with an opportunity to experience the project in person.

Real estate news roundup: Updated planning information; falling condominium prices in Hanoi; major infrastructure and project updates plus transaction risk alerts

As demand for information rises, Ho Chi Minh City is rolling out the publication and updating of data across multiple sectors, including planning and construction information, so that individuals and organizations can access and use it. At the same time, the market also saw warnings about risks and legal disputes. In Tam Binh Ward (HCMC), authorities cautioned that a social media post claiming to sell 46 plots of land after an “opening” is inaccurate. Separately, concerns around shared-ownership conflicts were highlighted, noting that uncertainty in legal implementation and management authority can increase the risk of disputes between residents and related operators. On the trading side, Hanoi recorded reports of sharp condo price declines over the past week and additional information related to buy-rent transactions in specific areas.

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...
