1. Da Nang Seaport Water Area To Be Expanded.

 

1. Exciting developments are underway for Central Vietnam’s logistics and maritime sectors as the Đà Nẵng Seaport prepares for a major expansion of its water area to around 16,800 hectares. This proposal, released by the Ministry of Construction for public consultation, aims to align with the city’s approved land and water-area planning. The expansion will strengthen the legal and operational framework for the Đà Nẵng Maritime Administration, enhancing its ability to manage port operations, maritime safety, and fee collection more effectively.

2.  

   This strategic move supports the modernization of port logistics and aligns with Đà Nẵng’s vision to develop a world-class seaport system. By meeting national defense and maritime security needs while boosting trade infrastructure, the expansion will help position Đà Nẵng as a key logistics gateway for Central Vietnam and the ASEAN region. Once approved, the plan will drive improved connectivity, efficiency, and competitiveness across the region’s maritime economy.

3. Da Nang Attracts Over USD 11 Billion in Foreign Investment After Administrative Merger.

4. Forecast For The Real Estate Market Scenario When Interest Rates Reverse?

 

Following a long period of low interest rates that fueled real estate growth, a subtle rise in savings interest rates at commercial banks is now testing the market’s stability, said Mr. Nguyen Van Dinh, Chairman of VARS. Given real estate’s sensitivity to capital flow fluctuations, this upward rate trend is placing significant pressure on both supply and demand. If rates continue to rise, market liquidity is likely to decline as homebuyers relying on loans reassess their affordability and investors become more cautious. Developers, meanwhile, face rising financial costs and weaker demand, constraining cash flow and slowing new project launches.

 

This situation resembles the 2011–2013 cycle, when high interest rates triggered a prolonged market freeze and sharp price declines. Borrowers who once benefited from low-rate incentives are now under pressure as floating rates take effect. Although the long-term outlook remains positive, supported by strong housing demand and urbanization, VARS advises buyers to limit borrowing to under 50% of property value and focus on reputable developers. The coming phase will act as a market filter, favoring financially robust and transparent businesses.

5. In July 2025, Da Nang’s Real Estate Market Showed Clear Divergence Among Segments.

 

Land plots and townhouses/villas continued to see limited new supply and weak liquidity, though prices stayed largely stable. In contrast, the apartment market showed robust performance, with significant growth in both supply and absorption. According to DKRA Consulting, primary condominium supply rose 33% year-on-year, while new launches surged nearly fourfold. Market demand strengthened notably, with sales volume reaching 3.5 times that of July 2024, and 51% of transactions coming from newly launched projects during the month. Despite this momentum, the supply structure remained skewed, with luxury and Grade A units making up 78% of total primary supply. Prices in the primary market stayed high with minimal change, while the secondary market showed signs of recovery, increasing by 3–5% since early 2025.

 

In the land plot segment, supply remained scarce, totaling only 1,554 lots—down 12% from a year earlier—mainly from previously launched projects. Newly launched projects accounted for just 8% of total supply, reflecting ongoing constraints. Demand was subdued, with absorption at a modest 4%. Cẩm Lệ and Núi Thành recorded the highest transaction levels. Primary prices stayed stable but elevated due to high input costs, while secondary market prices edged up around 3%.
