Ho Chi Minh City is planning a network of logistics hubs at 10 major locations, including Cat Lai, Long Binh, Linh Trung, Hiep Phuoc, Cu Chi, Hoc Mon and Tan Son Nhat Airport. The city has also approved the conversion of more than 15.6 hectares of agricultural land in Binh Trung and Cat Lai for a housing project, while targeting the relocation, demolition and reconstruction of 64 old apartment buildings comprising 8,577 units during the 2026-2030 period.

Daily real estate briefing: High-end supply dominates as the southern market prepares for more new homes

The real estate market recorded several notable developments in major urban areas and regions benefiting from expanding infrastructure. In Ho Chi Minh City, Asian brands, particularly in food and fashion, continued to expand, helping maintain stable occupancy rates for retail spaces. In the housing segment, high-end apartments accounted for more than 73% of commercial housing supply during the first nine months of the year, while affordable apartments disappeared entirely from the market. The overall market is expected to receive around 30,300 new housing products in the fourth quarter, mainly concentrated in the southern region. Serviced apartments also remained attractive as the number of international visitors and experts increased, with occupancy rates reaching up to 85%.

Daily Real Estate Briefing: High-End Supply Dominates as Major Housing and Land Projects Move Forward

The real estate market is showing a clear divergence in supply and purchasing power. In Ho Chi Minh City, high-end apartments accounted for more than 73% of commercial housing supply in the first nine months of the year, while the affordable segment completely disappeared. Although developers have continuously offered discounts of 20 to 30%, interest support and extended payment schedules, purchasing power remains difficult to improve as buyers stay cautious about home prices, capital costs and investment prospects. Meanwhile, the market is expected to receive around 30,300 new housing products in the fourth quarter, concentrated mainly in the southern region. In Nghe An, the Sun Glory Residence apartment complex in central Vinh comprises five towers and more than 37 amenities, targeting the housing and asset accumulation needs of Nghe An residents living away from home. Van Phuc Group has also included an apartment valued at nearly VND 8 billion in an incentive program for Diamond Sky...

Meanwhile, the Vinhomes Vung Ang industrial park project in Ha Tinh has been expanded to more than 1,400 hectares, with total investment rising to over VND 23,000 billion. In the social housing segment, a new proposal would restrict unrestricted resale after five years, allowing transfers only to people eligible for the relevant housing policy. Ho Chi Minh City has also handed over an initial 7,393 square meters of land in Thu Duc Ward for a housing project for the People’s Public Security forces. In Ho Chi Minh City, land auction and valuation procedures are being tightened. The city has asked agencies to review legal conditions, determine responsibilities and set processing deadlines for each land plo...

Real Estate News Roundup: Incentives Lose Appeal as Major Projects Restart

The real estate market is showing mixed developments as various incentive policies have yet to sufficiently encourage buyers to commit. Despite developers offering discounts of 20 to 30 percent, interest-rate support and extended payment schedules, buyers remain cautious about home prices, capital costs and investment prospects. Meanwhile, brokerage companies continue to face cash flow constraints and declining transactions, forcing them to cut staff and scale back distribution activities. On a more positive note, ground-floor shophouses in apartment buildings in Ho Chi Minh City are gradually filling up as landlords actively reduce rents, creating opportunities for households to open service and retail businesses. Real estate transactions in the fourth quarter are also forecast to potentially double, supported by improved home-buying demand, a more abundant supply and stimulus policies. In terms of policy and urban development, Ho Chi Minh City is expected to extend the estimated im...

Daily Real Estate Briefing: Fourth-Quarter Transactions Expected to Improve as Major Projects Advance

The real estate market is seeing mixed developments in demand, rents and transactions. In Ho Chi Minh City, shophouses at the podiums of apartment buildings are gradually moving away from a period of vacancy as landlords proactively reduce rents, attracting households to open service and retail businesses. In contrast, primary apartment transactions in the third quarter fell by 72% to 83% year on year as high borrowing costs and sharply rising prices made buyers more cautious. Nevertheless, stronger homebuying demand, more abundant supply and demand stimulus policies are expected to support a more positive fourth quarter, with transactions potentially doubling. In Nha Trang, tenants continue to face difficulties as apartment rents have risen 30% to 40% compared with the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City has issued ownership certificates for 43,200 homes since the beginning of the year, while 13,949 applications are awaiting buyers’ payment of registration fees. Regar...

Daily real estate briefing: Apartment prices cool, inventory rises and projects win awards

The real estate market is showing mixed signals. In Hanoi, weak liquidity has prompted many developers to increase discounts and incentives, bringing down the price level of new apartments for the first time after two years of continuous increases. Nationwide real estate inventory reached nearly 53,000 products in the third quarter, almost twice the figure recorded in the same period last year, as purchasing power declined while projects found it difficult to reduce selling prices. The primary villa and townhouse segment in Hanoi also faced absorption pressure as supply rose sharply but only around 30% of units found buyers, according to CBRE. At the same time, many homebuyers with loans have had to sell their properties, move to smaller homes or relocate farther from central areas after interest-rate support periods ended and floating rates increased. In the housing and urban development segment, Hanoi has asked the developer of the NO1 Ha Dinh social housing project to shorten the ...

Real Estate Briefing: Rising Supply, Low Absorption and Notable Projects and Awards

Hanoi’s primary market recorded a sharp increase in the supply of villas and townhouses in the third quarter, but according to CBRE, only about 30% of units were absorbed because prices remained high. In the affordable housing segment, a social housing project in Phuc Thinh is expected to be priced at VND 29.7 million per square meter. Meanwhile, housing demand in northern Ho Chi Minh City is expected to rise alongside plans to attract high-tech investment and international experts. In Ho Chi Minh City, more than 3.3 hectares of production land in An Phu Ward have been approved for conversion to develop the Phu Gia Khiem apartment project. However, land procedures, site clearance and the requirement for synchronized infrastructure investment remain major bottlenecks in expanding the urban area. Financial pressure is also continuing to affect homebuyers, as many have had to sell properties, move to smaller apartments or relocate farther from the city center after interest-rate support e...

Daily Real Estate Briefing: Mortgage Pressure, New Supply and Major Projects

The real estate market recorded notable developments across housing, land and commercial property segments. After the end of interest rate support periods, some homebuyers have had to sell their properties, move to smaller homes or choose locations farther from city centers to ease financial pressure as floating interest rates rise. Meanwhile, primary supply from two large urban projects in western and southern Ho Chi Minh City, where prices are lower, pushed townhouse prices down by nearly 33% year on year. The city’s retail absorption also fell 26% in the third quarter as sports, lifestyle and entertainment chains reduced their floor space. In contrast, condotel sales in the third quarter increased more than fivefold from the previous quarter, despite continued sluggishness in the resort property market. In Ho Chi Minh City, municipal authorities resolved legal issues and allowed Giang Nam Company to convert more than 3.3 hectares of production land for the Phu Gia Khiem apartment ...

Daily Real Estate Briefing: Falling Prices, Diverging Liquidity and New Projects

In the retail sector, absorption fell 26% during the quarter as sports, lifestyle and entertainment chains reduced their premises, according to Knight Frank. DXS-FERI also recorded real estate price declines of 5-20% in several areas, as some new projects adjusted prices below the prevailing local levels. Amid large supply, the Vietnam Association of Realtors recommended that developers adjust their product structure and limit high-end housing development to avoid the risk of oversupply. Despite the overall slowdown, several segments and localities showed positive signals. Lam Dong recorded 7,103 land transactions in the third quarter, up 13% from the same period last year. Condotel absorption...

Demand also weakened, with the absorption of primary housing nationwide down 36% year on year, while demand for land plots and apartments in Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring areas fell 66% compared with the previous quarter, according to Dat Xanh Services. Lam Dong, however, moved against the broader trend, recording 7,103 land plot transactions in the third quarter, up 13% from the same period last year. Hanoi expects to collect VND146 trillion in land-related budget revenue this year, an increase of more than 35% from 2025 and the highest level ever recorded.

Meanwhile, the absorption rate of new apartments in Hanoi was only about 30% in the third quarter, a sharp decline from 70 to 80% during the same period last year. Although secondary prices have cooled and developers have increased incentives, buyers remain cautious because of financial pressure and expectations of better prices. Several projects are offering cash flow support, including The Westique Residences, where buyers of two-bedroom apartments pay 30% of the value until handover, followed by a 30-month extended payment schedule. In the social housing segment, Bac Ninh is expected to receive nearly 2,900 additional apartments at Hope Residen...

The real estate market is seeing notable developments in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and several other localities. In Ho Chi Minh City, real estate business revenue reached VND 322.63 trillion in the first nine months of the year, up 8.4% year on year.
