VOV.VN - Recent surges in housing and land prices in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and surrounding areas have affected public access to home ownership. In response, the Government has tasked the Ministry of Finance with studying property taxation as a tool to help stabilise the market.

VOV.VN - The Vietbuild International Exhibition opened in Ho Chi Minh City on June 25, showcasing a broad array of cutting-edge products and services in the fields of construction, building materials, real estate, and interior and exterior design.

Vietnam's property market is set to rebound strongly in 2025, driven by improved investor confidence, lower borrowing costs, and heightened transaction activity across key segments.

Vietnam’s real estate sector attracted US$371.5 million in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the first two months of 2025, securing its position as the second-largest recipient of foreign capital and accounting for 16.9% of total newly registered FDI.

Vietnam's retail market with positive growth prospects will support the development of the commercial real estate market this year, according to experts at the “Vietnam Retail 2025: Opportunities in Real Estate” event held on February 27.

2025 will serve as a crucial foundation year for the real estate sector in Ho Chi Minh City, marking the path towards a full recovery by 2026 after facing challenges caused by COVID-19 and economic recession, experts predicted.

The domestic real estate sector is poised for a substantial profit increase in 2025, fuelled by a more optimistic macroeconomic outlook and an expected rise in new supply as companies finalise legal procedures for upcoming projects.

The demand for housing from foreigners is anticipated to continue, driving an existing upward trajectory in Hanoi, signalling a positive development for the domestic real estate market.

The Ministry of Finance (MoF) has recently proposed imposing property taxes on real estate transfers based on the length of time properties have been owned, but the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said the idea is not feasible.

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.
