Daily Real Estate Briefing: New Policies, Urban Planning and Bond Maturity Pressure

The day’s key real estate developments center on policy and planning measures in major cities. The Government has assigned the Ministry of Construction to report in November on housing supply, liquidity, prices, transactions and property inventory, providing an overall update on the market’s health. In Ho Chi Minh City, authorities have proposed support for people who purchased houses or land through handwritten documents between after July 1, 2014 and before August 1, 2024, with support equivalent to land compensation when the property is recovered. The city is also considering land-rent exemptions, tax incentives and shorter procedures for outlet shopping center projects, while accelerating public investment disbursement and key projects such as the Moc Bai Expressway, Metro Line 2 and the Xuyen Tam Canal. In addition, four land lots in Thu Thiem, with a total area of nearly 43,000 square meters, have been allocated to Dai Quang Minh Company to settle the BT contract for the Thu Thie...

Real estate highlights: Stay cautious with higher-risk products; market signals on prices, regulations, and project progress across major locations

Amid market fluctuations, risk-management themes stand out. The collected information notes that international experience suggests investors should not “prioritize” risky approaches in real estate at any cost; instead, emphasis should be placed on projects that are more likely to be completed and on arrangements that help ensure transaction reliability. In parallel, guidance on choosing short-term, safer options is referenced, including considerations around savings deposits versus longer-term strategies with higher uncertainty. The updates also highlight the growing importance of climate-related risk: a conclusion from policy guidance stresses that development should support resilience against changing weather and climate impacts.

In Vietnam, regulatory and market updates point to continued attention on legal procedures and local management. Hanoi is mentioned with a new framework for handling “surplus land” after road construction or land acquisition for projects, emphasizing coordination with residents and stronger control over construction order. On pricing, the area around Kim Lien Hotel is described with notably high asking levels: some listings are above 350 million VND per m2, and certain spots are reported to reach around 1 billion VND per m2. Related to the Kim Lien cluster, information about two towers reaching 568m with an investment estimate of 3 to 3.5 billion USD is cited, alongside reference pricing for apartment rentals starting from 800,000 VND per night. Meanwhile, in infrastructure-linked real estate, Lâm Đồng’s Song Mỹ 1 industrial park is described as having recently started handover of 113ha (with reference to a timeline starting from 2022) and mentions three large projects with total capital around 5.4 billion USD on the ground. For Ho Chi Minh City, compensation price ranges for the Metro Bến Thành - Cần Giờ project are quoted, from just above 31.2 million VND per m2 up to a highest level of 61 million VND per m2 in Nhả Bè.

Beyond pricing and regulation, project and corporate activity also appears across the news set. VietinBank is reported to plan a transfer transaction involving eight towers at Ciputra to an enterprise in the real estate sector. Additional updates mention Vingroup’s development-related information tied to a VinFast ecosystem area, and branding changes with a new logo rollout referenced as taking effect from 15/8. In the resort segment, Noble Palace Ha Long is described with a themed, master-plan style approach for a broader urban lifestyle model. On the global side, Japan’s Tokyo office rental market is noted to be at the highest level in 30 years, with limited supply described as sustaining upward pressure on costs.

Daily Real Estate Briefing: Land Policies, Social Housing and Market Developments

The real estate market is seeing a series of proposals and policies that could directly affect supply, housing prices and access to homes. Notably, removing the specific land price mechanism is expected to boost supply and create more opportunities for homebuyers if approved and implemented consistently. The Government has also proposed a 0.2% tax rate on vacant land and land brought into use late. Another proposal would assign an identification code to each land parcel to trace transaction histories, verify prices and limit the practice of declaring two different prices. The proposal to recover land from projects that remain unused for more than 60 months has also been considered reasonable, although it would be necessary to distinguish between investors deliberately delaying implementation and projects facing legal obstacles. During the revision of the Land Law, Ho Chi Minh City is expected to introduce new regulations on compensation and site clearance and issue a land price table m...

Daily Real Estate Brief: Home Prices Outpace Affordability as Hanoi Reviews 250 Projects

Vietnam’s real estate market continues to face a paradox as home prices may equal more than 30 years of income and remain beyond the reach of most residents, while the urban homeownership rate is still among the highest in the world. This pressure is increasingly evident in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, where scarce land, rising input costs and the dwindling supply of affordable apartments are pushing prices higher. At the same time, real estate inventory is tending to increase, highlighting the need to expand supply in line with actual demand. The Ministry of Construction is also clarifying when social housing may be resold after five years and the regulations governing such transfers. In Hanoi, the management and handling of delayed projects and violating buildings remain key priorities. The city is reviewing 250 delayed projects funded outside the state budget, involving approximately 7,013 hectares of land, to mobilize resources for development. Regarding HH Linh Dam apartments, a ...

Daily Real Estate Briefing: High Housing Prices, Supply and Policy in Motion

The real estate market continues to present a paradox: housing prices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are extremely high compared with incomes, yet the homeownership rate remains among the highest. Experts note that buyers may need more than 30 years of income to afford a home, while selling prices and growing property inventories remain major concerns. In Hanoi, the absorption rate for primary apartments was only 31% in the third quarter, sharply down from 70 to 80% in the same period last year, while the average selling price remained around VND 108 million per square meter. In Ho Chi Minh City, efforts to remove obstacles and simplify procedures have helped increase supply, contributing to a decline in the overall price level. However, housing prices remain beyond the affordability of most residents. Regarding supply and policy, Ho Chi Minh City has approved a social housing project in Ba Diem Commune, covering nearly 192 hectares with total investment of more than VND 64 trillion a...
