  3. Investors Are Continuously Seeking Commercial Real Estate Opportunities

According to JLL Vietnam, commercial real estate investment in the Asia-Pacific region increased by 13% in the first quarter of 2024, reaching a total value of $30.5 billion USD. This was the only region globally to experience growth in this sector during that quarter. Japan led the way with $11.5 billion USD of investment, a 29% increase compared to the same period the previous year.

South Korea and Singapore also saw significant growth. While the office real estate sector decreased by 1%, the industrial, warehouse, and retail sectors all experienced positive growth. Stuart Crow of JLL noted that this growth reflects the continued interest of investors in investment opportunities and the robust economic foundation in the region.

 

In cross-border sectors such as transportation and industry, retail, and lifestyle, growth has been observed compared to the same period last year, although price sentiment remains unstable. Australia, China, and Hong Kong have seen a decline in investment. Interest rates and sentiment continue to impact investment activities in the region, but a recovery has been seen in parts of 2024. It is predicted that additional investment activities will continue as pricing adjusts and investors realign their portfolios and investment strategies to align with the current exchange rate environment.

Many Investors Are Struggling To Find A "Haven" For Their Money

Amidst decreasing bank interest rates, unpredictable gold prices, and volatile stock markets, investors are seeking profitable avenues for their idle funds. Traditional savings methods like bank deposits offer minimal returns, compounded by inflation risks. Real estate emerges as a safe and lucrative investment option. High demand due to urbanization ensures liquidity, especially in centrally located properties.

 

DHA Corporation’s projects, D-AQUA and D-HOMME, in districts 8 and 6 respectively, promise legal compliance and timely delivery, attracting investor attention. Experts anticipate rising property values, bolstered by infrastructure developments like bridges and metro lines. These projects offer modern amenities, enhancing their market appeal and ensuring sustainable value growth.

Hanoi Real Estate Market Heats Up, Attracting Ho Chi Minh City Investors

Hanoi’s real estate market is experiencing a faster recovery compared to Ho Chi Minh City. Investors are drawn to Hanoi’s lower price points and quicker turnaround potential. This trend is fueled by the recent stagnation in Ho Chi Minh City’s market, which has just begun a limited revival.

 

Reputable developers and familiar products from Ho Chi Minh City are particularly attractive to these southern investors. The pressure to maintain cash flow and inflation concerns are also pushing investors toward the Hanoi market. Experts believe Hanoi’s rise is the start of a new cycle, fueled by potential investments from overseas Vietnamese under the revised Land Law. This liquidity boost could translate to good returns for early investors.

4. Vietnam Apartment Market Shows Steady Sales Despite Lower Finalization Rates.

 

The Apartment Market In The First Quarter Of 2024: For Every 100 Units Sold, Customers 'Finalize' 57 Units

In April 2024, the real estate market in Vietnam witnessed the launch and sale of numerous projects, with several investors officially receiving deposits from customers. During the first quarter of 2024, the housing segment welcomed over 20,500 products for sale, including more than 4,300 entirely new ones. The housing transaction segment saw significant growth, with 6,200 transactions, an 8% increase compared to the previous quarter and double the number from the same period last year.

 

In the apartment segment, over 3,000 new units were introduced to the market, with an absorption rate reaching 57%, meaning out of every 100 new apartments, 57 were sold. Mortgage interest rates dropped to their lowest level in 20 years, stimulating both project development by businesses and home purchases by individuals. Many banks also committed to maximum interest rate limits to reduce risks for homebuyers.

 

Experts forecast that the mortgage interest rate landscape will continue to decrease in the future. Homebuyers and investors have begun to return to the real estate market after a cautious period, showing increased prudence in their investments, careful financial planning, and thorough legal scrutiny. This period is considered an opportunity to take advantage of low-interest rates and attractive sales policies, although buyers should ensure they do not overextend themselves financially beyond their means.
