Real Estate Briefing on September 30: Social Housing, Credit and Key Infrastructure Projects

Vietnam’s real estate market recorded notable developments in policy, credit and legal procedures. The Government issued Resolution 303/NQ-CP on September 30 on assigning localities targets for developing social housing and rental housing during 2026-2030, while adjusting the plan for one million social housing units. On the credit front, several banks have adjusted lending rates following calls to continue reducing capital costs. Experts said real estate credit should be classified according to risk levels instead of being governed by a single mechanism. Meanwhile, the mechanical application of land price tables and land price adjustment coefficients could increase land-use and land-rental payments, pushing up housing, warehouse and factory prices. Regarding transaction procedures, HoREA proposed allowing developers to authorize other parties to sign deposit agreements to create greater flexibility in sales, although questions remain about responsibility to buyers when disputes aris...

Daily Real Estate Briefing: Infrastructure Push, Major Projects and Housing Finance Pressure

The domestic real estate and infrastructure market has recorded several notable developments. Hanoi is proposing special mechanisms to accelerate seven major railway projects, with land compensation upon recovery potentially reaching up to twice the prescribed level. The city is also introducing a fully online and fee-free process for certain procedures to correct red-book information when the error was caused by a state agency. These moves come as urban railways and transit-oriented development are increasingly expected to shorten connection times, expand living spaces and reshape how the market defines expensive and affordable real estate. At the national level, the Ministry of Construction is calling for public-private partnership investment in a series of key expressway projects for 2026-2030, with total capital of nearly VND 923 trillion.

At the local level, tourism, urban and resort projects continue to attract attention. The site-clearance plan for more than 182 hectares at the USD 2 billion project in Van Don has been approved, with more than 138 hectares handed over. A company under Sun Group has proposed developing an ecotourism complex with a safari park in Ba Vi, covering nearly 581 hectares with expected investment of VND 10 trillion. After two rounds, the Song Hong Future Group has been allocated more than 429 hectares by Hanoi to develop a nearly 700-hectare multifunctional urban area in the north of the capital. Meanwhile, Vinpearl is scheduled to simultaneously open key facilities at the ESG mega-urban project Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio on July 1. In the housing segment, 60-square-meter expandable townhouses at Vinhomes Saigon Park are being introduced with separate payment obligations for land, commercial value and construction, while construction costs can be deferred by approximately 14 months.

Regarding policy and finance, several Vietnamese banks have adjusted home-loan interest rates following calls to continue reducing capital costs. However, experts believe real estate credit should be classified according to risk instead of being governed by a single mechanism. In contrast, Australia’s central bank raised its interest rate by 0.25 percentage point to 4.6%, the highest level in 15 years, adding pressure on homebuyers. Other issues drawing market attention include the risk that customers may lose hundreds of millions of dong in deposits when registering to buy apartments at the A&T Saigon Riverside project, the impact of mechanically applying land-price tables and adjustment coefficients on land costs, housing prices, warehouses and factories, and the industrial real estate sector’s shift from competing on low prices to competing on quality, infrastructure and handover speed. In Quang Ngai, some sand mines were auctioned at nearly VND 1.1 million per cubic meter, three times the commercial sand price currently sold in the province.

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...
