Land and apartment prices continue to increase

Latest, authentic, accurate news

The fact that selling prices have maintained an upward trend over the past eight months shows that real estate is still an attractive investment and asset channel, but also poses challenges in housing accessibility for people with low and middle incomes.

According to the General Statistics Office ( Ministry of Finance ), over the past 8 months, Vietnam's macroeconomics continued to record positive growth momentum. Specifically, total foreign direct investment (FDI) in Vietnam increased by 27.3% over the same period in 2024, estimated at 26.14 billion USD. Total realized FDI capital is estimated at 15.4 billion USD, up 8.8% over the same period in 2024. The number of international visitors to Vietnam during this period is estimated at 13.9 million, up 21.7% over the same period in 2024. Total retail sales of goods and consumer services increased by 9.4%, estimated at 4,579 billion VND.

Amidst the positive macroeconomic context, real estate market also showed bright spots. In the past 8 months, the whole country recorded 3,543 newly established real estate businesses, an increase of 12% over the same period in 2024. Notably, the number of businesses returning to operation was 3,372 - an impressive growth rate of up to 811% over the same period in 2024, partly reflecting businesses' confidence in market prospects.

The previous difficult period had forced many businesses to temporarily suspend operations and leave the market. The fact that businesses are returning to operations shows that the “cleansing” trend may have passed, the remaining businesses have better capacity and adaptability, or have successfully restructured.

In August 2025, the number of real estate listings increased slightly in Ho Chi Minh City while the overall level of interest decreased or remained stable.

However, the real estate market in August 2025 is greatly affected by seasonal factors. Data from batdongsan.com.vn shows that in August, the number of real estate listings increased only slightly in Ho Chi Minh City, while the level of interest decreased or remained stable in most types and areas due to the impact of the period before the ghost month, the National Day holiday and major events in the month.

In terms of type, in the past 8 months compared to the same period in 2024, project land recorded the best growth in both interest (up 40%) and number of listings (up 17%). Meanwhile, other types such as apartments, private houses, and land decreased by 3-8% in interest and increased by 5-10% in number of listings.

In the past 2 years, the general real estate selling price (in general nationwide) has maintained an upward trend in most types, of which the strongest increase is land up 44% compared to the first quarter of 2024 and apartments up 42%. Other types including private houses, project land and townhouses increased by 28%, 14% and 1% respectively in the same period.

Land and apartments are the types of properties that have recorded an increase in selling prices over the past two years.

According to Mr. Nguyen Quoc Anh, Deputy General Director of Batdongsan.com.vn, the fact that selling prices continue to increase is the result of strong money supply growth through flexible monetary policies aimed at high economic growth, the prolonged scarcity of primary supply, especially in large cities, along with investors' confidence in the potential for future real estate price increases. This shows that real estate is still an attractive investment and accumulation channel, but also poses challenges in housing accessibility for people with low-middle incomes. This trend may continue if legal and supply bottlenecks are not completely resolved.

Regarding rental real estate prices (nationwide), data from batdongsan.com.vn shows that rental prices have remained almost flat for most rental types over the past two years, with only a slight increase in street-front houses of 7%.
