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 Briefing: Metro Land, Rising Loan Pressure and Hot Apartment Issues

The real estate market is seeing notable developments, from new approaches to exploiting land around metro lines to financial pressures and legal issues affecting housing projects. In Ho Chi Minh City, experts say the city should not focus solely on maximizing revenue from land around metro stations to offset infrastructure costs. Instead, the TOD model should be developed toward nurturing long-term revenue sources for the urban area. Meanwhile, outstanding credit for real estate projects involving restaurants, hotels, tourist areas and resorts in Ho Chi Minh City reached VND 30 trillion at the end of August, up 12.5% year on year. In the housing segment, real estate companies recorded VND 29.815 trillion in profit in the second quarter, a 265% increase from the same period, mainly driven by bulk sales, project transfers and divestments.

Financial pressure is becoming more apparent for homebuyers as floating mortgage rates exceed 16% per year, while car loan rates can reach 18% per year. In Hanoi, residents of HH Linh Dam are facing both falling asking prices, with some apartments dropping by hundreds of millions of dong or even more than VND 1 billion, and concerns over legal status, the issuance of ownership certificates and possible relocation as the city reviews projects belonging to the Muong Thanh ecosystem. If implemented, areas cleared after relocation and demolition are expected to be prioritized for community facilities, cultural and educational institutions, technical infrastructure and parking. These developments also highlight the need for buyers of time-limited apartments to check the building’s age, quality, legal status and renovation plans, while understanding that the end of a construction term does not mean losing ownership of the apartment.

Elsewhere, the site at 48 to 48A Tran Phu Street in Nha Trang, which had been abandoned for many years, is now being leveled for a high-end commercial and tourism services complex. Alora Nha Trang is also attracting attention for its location, distinctive products, support from international brands and ability to serve two existing customer streams. Internationally, the US high-end office market is reversing course as supply tightens, while China is entering a new phase of real estate development in which existing housing is playing an increasingly central role. Alongside market news, several lifestyle recommendations are also drawing attention, including avoiding the refrigerator door for storing certain foods, carefully considering hard-to-clean furniture and spending a few minutes preparing the bedroom before sleep to create a more relaxing evening.

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.

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...
