“CVR: Western Management – Local Knowledge”
1. What Segment To Invest In 2026?
-
Vietnam’s real estate outlook for 2026 shows clear segmentation, with apartments continuing to lead the market. According to PropertyGuru Vietnam, demand is increasingly driven by genuine housing needs rather than speculation. Surveys indicate most buyers expect apartment prices to remain stable or rise moderately, supported by limited supply, rising land and construction costs, and a shift from landed houses to condominiums. However, experts warn that only projects with clear legal status, good locations, and real living amenities will maintain liquidity, while high-end segments may face slower absorption if prices exceed real purchasing power.

Beyond housing, other segments are regaining momentum. Resort real estate is recovering thanks to tourism growth, improved transport infrastructure, clearer legal frameworks, and more cautious, value-oriented investors. Industrial real estate is entering a new growth phase, driven by strong FDI inflows, infrastructure expansion, and Vietnam’s positioning in global supply chains. Meanwhile, suburban land around major cities, especially Hanoi, continues to attract interest due to improving infrastructure and more accessible pricing, as investors seek new opportunities beyond overheated central markets.

2. Real Estate Legal Framework Improvements Attract Remittances at Year-End.
As 2025 comes to a close, Vietnam is increasingly reaffirming its position as a safe destination for overseas remittances, supported by stable economic growth and a progressively clearer legal framework for real estate. The article highlights how improvements in laws and regulations governing land, housing, and property transactions have helped remove barriers, making it easier and more secure for overseas Vietnamese and foreign investors to send money home and invest in real estate. These legal enhancements, combined with a resilient property market recovery, have encouraged remittance flows into the sector, particularly toward projects with transparent legal status. As a result, real estate remains a preferred avenue for returning capital from abroad, especially toward the year-end period when remittance inflows typically surge.

3. Da Nang Surpasses Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in International Visitor Numbers During Tet.
Đà Nẵng led Vietnam in international visitors during the 2026 New Year holiday, welcoming 345,000 foreign tourists, about three times more than Hà Nội and nearly five times more than Ho Chi Minh City. The city’s total visitors reached about 630,000, with international travelers making up over half. Favorable weather, extensive events, and diverse promotions helped drive the surge, contributing to an estimated 2,445 billion VND in tourism revenue and high hotel occupancy rates. Nationwide, the tourism sector served around 3.5 million travelers, seen as a strong start to the year. Other destinations like Ninh Bình, Quảng Ninh, and Khánh Hòa also recorded significant international arrivals.

4. Market Rebound: 580,000 Transactions in 2025, Real Estate Set to Enter a New Cycle in 2026.
Vietnam’s real estate market showed a strong recovery in 2025, recording around 580,000 successful transactions nationwide and average price increases of 10–15%. At the 2026 Real Estate Market Outlook Forum, Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh noted that the market is entering a more stable and sustainable phase, supported by legal reforms and the removal of regulatory bottlenecks. Construction and real estate continue to play a key role in the economy, contributing about 11% of GDP. Nationwide, over 1,100 commercial housing and urban projects and nearly 700 social housing projects are underway, while more than 102,000 social housing units were completed in 2025, exceeding targets and improving overall supply conditions.
Market experts observed that 2025 marked the strongest supply growth since 2020, with liquidity improving significantly and speculative price surges being better controlled. Around 63% of transactions occurred in the second half of the year, reflecting stronger market confidence. Looking ahead to 2026, expectations are positive, driven by economic growth targets, accelerating infrastructure investment, stable interest rates, expanding housing supply, and new urban development models such as transit-oriented development, supporting a healthier and more sustainable real estate cycle.

5. Electronic Identification for Real Estate.
Starting March 1, 2026, Vietnam will assign a unique electronic identification code to every real estate asset nationwide, including houses, apartments, and project units. Managed by the Ministry of Construction and updated by local authorities, the system will create a comprehensive digital profile for each property, covering location, size, ownership, and transaction history. Designed to enhance transparency and long-term traceability, it will support future policy tools such as second-home taxes, short-term resale taxes, and tighter control over speculation. While experts expect limited short-term market impact, the system is seen as a major step toward improving tax collection, stabilizing prices, and professionalizing market management, despite challenges related to data accuracy and local technical capacity.
