This consistent appreciation in condominium values has made them a preferred asset for many investors.

3. What Happens To Real Estate hen The US Applies Tax?
-
-
The real estate market is expected to face mixed impacts across various segments. Industrial real estate, commercial properties, and housing for experts will be the most affected, primarily due to reduced foreign direct investment (FDI), job losses, and declining demand. Mid-range and affordable housing, particularly around industrial zones, will also suffer as workers’ incomes fall. Resort real estate is projected to cool down due to weaker domestic tourism demand and reduced secondary investment interest.
-
On the other hand, high-end real estate and land intended for long-term investment are expected to be less affected. The apartment supply will likely remain limited, while demand stays moderate. The ongoing imposition of U.S. tariffs may dampen investor sentiment, particularly in southern regions, causing cautious decision-making. Class C apartments and units priced under VND60 million/m² will remain in short supply, contributing to an affordable housing crisis.
-
Despite these challenges, apartment prices are expected to remain high due to increased input costs, including land use fees, interest rates, and construction materials. Market psychology may enter a “wait-and-see” phase as both investors and buyers watch global trade developments closely. Ultimately, market outcomes will hinge on trade negotiations and business strategy adjustments, both locally and internationally.

4. The Government Decided To Cut 30% Land Rent To People And Enterprise.
-
-
On April 11, 2025, the Government issued Decree 87, which provides a 30% reduction in land rent payable in 2024 for eligible land users. The reduction applies to individuals and organizations directly leased land by the State under a land lease decision, contract, or Land Use Rights Certificate, as outlined in Article 4 of the 2024 Land Law. Importantly, land users who complete legal procedures by the time of application submission are also eligible, even if they had not done so earlier in 2024.
-
The policy covers all applicable land users, including those who are not currently eligible for rent exemptions or reductions, or whose exemption/reduction period has expired. However, the 30% reduction applies only to the 2024 land rent amount and does not cover any unpaid rent from previous years or late payment interest. Decree 87 officially takes effect from April 11, 2025, offering timely financial support to land users.

Da Nang is positioning medical tourism as a key growth driver, capitalizing on its advanced healthcare infrastructure and skilled medical professionals. Post-COVID-19, health-focused travel demand is rising. Although the model began nearly a decade ago, it lacked coordination. Now, the city is pushing for stronger collaboration between healthcare and tourism sectors, improved staff training, and international marketing. Vice Chairman Trần Chí Cường emphasized the need for high-value offerings like medical tourism to sustain double-digit growth. With its natural beauty, modern hospitals, and quality resorts, Da Nang aims to become a leading medical tourism destination in Asia.
