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 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. Financial considerations also remained a focal point, with discussions around whether to buy sooner or keep renting, and how loan costs and cash-flow planning can shape buyer decisions. Design and living-experience trends also drew attention, from simple ways to refresh bedrooms without major renovations to the push for smarter apartment models supported by AI to improve operations and safety.

In the infrastructure and project segment, the Ministry of Construction proposed adjustments to improve the efficiency of the route connecting Lào Cai – Hanoi – Hai Phong. Meanwhile, a large urban area in Quy Nhon was reported with nearly 70 hectares of land and total investment exceeding 19,300 billion VND, with bidding for investors to follow. In HCMC, more than 51 hectares of land in the Hi-Tech Park was reportedly recovered due to the project having ended its investment. The news also included progress and issues related to site clearance and compensation in several Hanoi projects, reflecting the complexity of project implementation. Alongside these, marketing updates for product launches and high-rise residential sub-projects appeared in multiple locations, while commentary on design trends noted the return of distinctive wall artworks to create character for modern living spaces.

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...
