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.

House buyers in the capital can pin hopes on new supply coming from infrastructure development this year, which is expected to push up demand for housing in neighbouring localities with reasonable prices and larger land reserves.

Residential real estate is one of the segments considered by Vietnam Report Joint Stock Company (Vietnam Report) as having strong growth potential in the property market. Accordingly, the new supply and the expectation of a high floor price will increase profit margins for real estate businesses.

Vietnam's real estate prices have increased rapidly in the past two years despite the difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced the incomes of the majority of the population, experts have said.

Vietnam’s real estate market recommenced its record run, with the industrial sector viewed as the star of the industry thanks to the country's success in combating COVID-19, said a story by Philip Heller published on Forbes earlier this week.

Interest rates for home loans are expected to be kept at a low level next year to stimulate demand for real estate, which coupled with macro-economic recovery and an increase in supply is hoped to promote the housing market's development, according to a report from the securities company VNDirect.

Experts gathered at a recent conference in HCM City to discuss measures to develop a transparent and sustainable property market in Vietnam in the next 10-15 years.

A recent survey by Savills found that gap of property prices are narrowing between urban and surrounding areas as more facilities are offered to compensate for outer locations.

Real estate is expected to continue to be an attractive investment channel between now and the end of the year, according to experts.

The property market in the northern province of Bac Ninh is likely to continue to be in full swing in 2020 thanks to waves of investment into industrial real estate.

The Ho Chi Minh City housing market is expected to recover again after being flat for over one year with support from the local government.

The HCM City housing market showed signs of unsustainability in 2018 due to an imbalance between supply and demand, a property industry business group said.

The HCM City housing market will continue to grow this year, especially the 1 billion VND (44,000 USD) condo segment, the HCM City Real Estate Association (HoREA) has predicted.

The Ministry of Construction will work towards the housing market’s sustainable development for the sector to achieve the targeted growth of 8.46 – 9.21 percent in 2018.

The housing market was facing an oversupply of high-end developments, detracting from the market’s attraction to investors.

The housing market will continue to develop, especially the mid-range apartment and townhouse segments, thanks to the improved quality of the country’s economic growth, heard a recent conference.

The idea of taxing those owning multiple houses, in a bid to prevent speculation, is causing a stir over whether such a tax is feasible, and the impact it might have on the housing market.

Though the real estate market is said to be in a rather strong growth phase, it is still showing signs of slowing down and some unstable aspects, which could badly affect it if they are not addressed.
