1. What Happens To Real Estate hen The US Applies Tax?

1.  

1. 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.

2.  

   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.

3.  

   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.

2. Land Prices In Da Nang – Quang Nam Border Areas Skyrocket.

 

Following rumors of a potential merger between Da Nang and Quang Nam, land prices in the border regions have surged dramatically. Areas like the FPT urban zone have seen prices rise from over 3 billion VND to around 4 billion VND within a month. This rapid increase has prompted a rush of buyers, including investors from other provinces, eager to secure properties before prices escalate further. However, some investors remain cautious, recalling previous market fluctuations that led to significant losses.

 

Rumors of a Da Nang–Quang Nam merger have driven land prices in border areas up sharply, attracting a wave of investors. This surge is causing a ripple effect, pushing prices higher in nearby Da Nang zones and raising concerns of a short-term bubble. While some buyers rush in, others remain cautious due to potential legal risks and past market volatility.

4. Real Estate Policies Effective From April 2025.

 

Starting April 2025, several new real estate policies will come into effect, aiming to resolve long-standing legal and procedural issues and boost investor confidence. Key measures include implementing Resolution 170/2024/QH15 to address legal obstacles in real estate projects across Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Khanh Hoa. This resolution allows for the resolution of land pricing and fee-related issues for projects previously halted due to legal or economic violations. For instance, the stalled project at 39-39B Ben Van Don in Ho Chi Minh City may now proceed after resolving compliance issues.

 

Additionally, Resolution 171/2024/QH15 introduces a pilot program for commercial housing projects based on agreements over land use rights. This allows developers to initiate housing projects using either negotiated land use rights or pre-existing ownership, provided the projects align with local housing and zoning plans. Approval from provincial authorities is required, especially in cases involving defense or security land.

 

These new policies are designed to remove legal bottlenecks, facilitate project continuity, and attract domestic and foreign investment. By clarifying regulations and offering legal pathways for project development, the government aims to stimulate growth in the real estate market and improve the overall investment climate in key urban areas.
