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 ...

Real estate & housing news roundup (Aug 13): Hanoi to build 114 social housing projects; loans at 10%–13% and long-term cash-flow risks; prices and supply in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang

On the housing front, Hanoi is reported to plan the construction of 114 social housing projects this year, tied to an early-2026 approval timeline and intended to meet current demand. In a separate development on transaction management, guidance around how disputes arising from issuing housing-related offerings online would be handled is also mentioned, with the aim of reducing time and cost for residents; if disputes occur, they would be transferred to court for resolution.

Regarding the financial side of buying and renting property, market commentary points to considerations for taking an additional loan when the interest rate is around 10% per year, while other analyses warn that risks rise if the post-promo interest rate climbs to around 13–15% per year. The pressure of higher rates could strain borrowers’ long-term cash flow. This picture aligns with price-and-supply updates: in Ho Chi Minh City, new apartments are described as having supply increasing, but buyers may find it harder to proceed because about 80% of new products are priced above 120 million VND per square meter, alongside loan interest rates mentioned up to around 13%. The dataset also references expectations for private-sector disbursement of investment capital later in the year in Ho Chi Minh City.

On project development and legal compliance, there are suggestions from HoREA regarding frameworks and groupings for different types of apartments, including categories such as service housing and purpose-built units aimed at “temporary stay” models, to fit real conditions and create a clearer legal basis. Local enforcement is also highlighted: Ho Chi Minh City authorities reportedly fined a company for violating regulations on managing and publicly disclosing information related to home sales to foreign individuals and organizations. Outside Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang is mentioned with information about approved adjustments to an international urban development project.

Finally, the roundup includes planning and renewal process themes, such as how residents’ rights are addressed when a condominium reaches the end of its term, emphasizing that residents should not automatically lose rights but must contribute financially for redevelopment. Alongside these, several items focus on lifestyle-oriented planning and apartment layout optimization as trends in creating more livable space.

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...
