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: HH Linh Dam review and Gia Binh airport clears over 94% of its site

The most notable real estate developments of the day involve management, violations and progress at major projects. In Hanoi, the HH Linh Dam complex is among 12 projects being reviewed down to individual structures, floors and apartments to classify cases that may remain or must be relocated or demolished. Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City has decided to recover more than 1.45 million square meters of land in Binh Duong Ward to enforce a legally effective judgment. A condominium management board in the city was also named over a tax debt exceeding VND137 billion. Regarding property transfers to foreigners, reporting requirements have been highlighted to help authorities monitor the number of homes owned by foreign organizations and individuals and control ownership limits. Owners renting apartments for short stays on Airbnb are also warned that the rental period is not the only factor used to determine a violation, with penalties potentially reaching VND130 million.

In infrastructure and housing, the Ministry of Construction has requested that transport projects scheduled for completion in 2026 must not be postponed, prolonged or rescheduled without objective and legitimate reasons. At the Gia Binh International Airport project in Bac Ninh, more than 1,800 hectares out of a total area of over 1,900 hectares have been cleared, equivalent to more than 94.2% of the plan. Also in Bac Ninh, a social housing project with more than 2,000 apartments is expected to offer units as small as approximately 35 square meters, with an estimated price of about VND600 million. Ho Chi Minh City has issued the rent-to-own price for social housing in Con Dao, with a capital-preservation interest rate of 6.44% per year and a capital recovery period of five to 20 years. Meanwhile, the 2,609.67-hectare Long Huu New Urban Area in Tay Ninh has been returned to the list of projects subject to investor selection bidding after the land-use plan for settling the BT contract was reassessed. Aeon Mall is expected to open two more shopping centers in Thanh Hoa and Quang Ninh in the fourth quarter, bringing the number of centers invested in and operated by the company in Vietnam to 10. Internationally, US home sales fell to their lowest level in more than a year as buyers continued to wait for mortgage rates to cool, while the supply of listed homes reached its highest level since the end of 2019.

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.

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...
