VOV.VN - The real estate market is showing positive changes, albeit at a slow pace. However, the dual challenges of the market segment structure and price manipulation must be addressed to ensure sustainable growth.

Vietnam’s residential property market has captured the attention of High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) and investors, driven by strong GDP growth, urbanisation, and its strategic role in the “China+1” strategy, according to Knight Frank’s report.

Vietnam's industrial sector is experiencing significant transformation, supported by strong foreign direct investment (FDI) flows, large-scale infrastructure projects, and a favourable regulatory environment, thus attracting a new wave of investment from foreign investors, experts have said.

The real estate market in Ho Chi Minh City has witnessed positive changes over the past nine months.

The mid-range segment accounts for 98% of the total supply of apartments in Hanoi, while the high-end segment constitutes a mere 2%, CEO of Indochina Capital Michael Paul Piro told a press briefing in Hanoi on September 23.

Real estate revenue in Ho Chi Minh City reached VND173 trillion (over US$7 billion) in the first eight months of the year, up 6.1% year-on-year, according to the HCM City Statistics Office.

The Hanoi real estate market in the first half of this year saw increases in villa and townhouse prices, although the market was still slow, according to a Savills report into the housing market in the capital released on July 11.

As of June 30, credit expanded 6% compared to the end of 2023 while total outstanding loans approximated VND14.4 quadrillion (US$563.3 billion), a positive signal showing this year's credit growth target of 14 - 15% is within reach, experts said. ​

Prices of condominiums in Hanoi are catching up with prices in Ho Chi Minh City in both primary and secondary markets, according to CBRE Vietnam’s report on the capital's real estate market in the first half of this year released on July 9.

The real estate market is widely expected to attract more investment in the near future due to many important driving forces, according to economist Can Van Luc.
