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: Lower Home Loan Rates, Faster Infrastructure and Key Policy Developments

The day’s real estate landscape saw notable developments across finance, regulation, planning and infrastructure. HDBank is expected to take possession of 26 land plots in Ho Chi Minh City, with a total area of more than 3,660 square meters, to handle secured assets and recover debts owed by Hoang Quan Real Estate. Meanwhile, the Ho Chi Minh City Tax Department published a list of 2,893 companies and individuals owing more than VND11.257 trillion in taxes and other budget revenues. Vung Tau Paradise Joint Venture ranks first on the list, with a debt of VND2.215 trillion. On the credit front, Vietcombank has lowered home loan interest rates, while TPBank and VIB have also eased their lending policies. In contrast, many real estate companies continue to issue new bonds at interest rates of up to 13% per year as the volume of maturing bonds rises.

In Ho Chi Minh City, a proposal to remove geographical limits for notarization is expected to make interprovincial real estate transactions more convenient. However, purchasing power and price movements will still depend on demand, infrastructure and legal factors. Another proposal to remove the market principle from land valuation could shorten procedures and improve consistency, but it does not necessarily mean housing prices will fall. The city is also accelerating public investment disbursement, creating opportunities for industrial real estate, logistics, social housing and projects linked to major transport hubs. In Hanoi, the proposed 109-storey Era Tower along the Red River is expected to transform the riverfront landscape. Meanwhile, land users whose property is acquired for the Red River landscape boulevard project may receive compensation at twice the regulated level if they meet the relevant legal conditions.

Internationally, home prices in Sydney are showing signs of cooling as higher borrowing costs and tax changes reduce the appeal of real estate investment. In the United States, the number of homes listed for sale has surged, but prices close to USD400,000 and mortgage rates of around 6.7% per year continue to weaken transactions. Alongside market developments, housing and lifestyle topics remain popular, including growing fruit trees in pots, bringing an autumn atmosphere indoors, spending 15 minutes a day cleaning, and creating greener living environments at Ecopark. Projects such as Blanca City, Alora Nha Trang and Diamond Sky continue to highlight construction progress, cash flow potential, lifestyle value and location advantages.

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...
