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 ...

Vietnam Real Estate Daily: Over 3,400 Projects Unblocked Amid Rising Legal and Lending Pressures

Vietnam’s real estate market has recorded several notable moves concerning legal obstacles and the handling of idle assets. As of September 15, more than 3,400 troubled real estate projects nationwide had been addressed, involving total investment capital of over VND 2.5 quadrillion. The Ministry of Finance has also asked central agencies and localities to urgently review and approve plans for handling surplus houses and land after administrative reorganizations, with completion required this year. In addition, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung chaired a meeting on the draft amended Land Law and called for a careful review of its policies. In logistics, a new direction is being considered: moving from development based on administrative boundaries toward organization by economic regions, economic corridors and supply chains.

Notably, amendments to the Law on Real Estate Business are expected to create an opportunity to resolve issues surrounding resort real estate assets that have been developed over nearly two decades. However, any policy opening should be accompanied by mechanisms to protect buyers and principles for classifying dossiers without legitimizing violations. In Nha Trang, the 48-48A Tran Phu land plot, which had been abandoned for many years, is now being leveled for a high-end commercial and tourism services complex. Meanwhile, Da Nang’s Chi Lang Stadium has been offered for auction for the fifth time, with a starting price of VND 8.82 trillion, nearly VND 900 billion lower than the initially announced price. In Ho Chi Minh City, experts have recommended exploiting land funds around metro stations under the TOD model to generate long-term revenue instead of simply selling land to offset infrastructure costs.

In the housing segment, the issue of apartment usage periods continues to attract attention. Determining a period based on the service life of a building could put pressure on prices of older apartments, although the impact will depend on the building’s age, quality and remaining service life. Buyers should carefully examine the building’s age, quality, legal status and renovation plans; the end of a construction period does not mean losing ownership of an apartment. At HH Linh Dam, asking prices for many apartments have fallen by hundreds of millions of dong, and in some cases by more than VND 1 billion after over a year, while legal risks are considered the main concern. Residents have also waited more than 10 years for ownership certificates and remain anxious about whether their apartments will be allowed to remain or face relocation. With floating home-loan rates exceeding 16% a year, financial pressure on buyers continues to increase.

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...

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...
