2. 1. When will the Real Estate market make a comeback?

In the past, the Government’s drastic direction and removal is considered a bright spot to help the real estate market “recover” and balance back soon. However, all policies need time to be put into practice and absorbed, so the real estate market is forecasted to “reverse” next year.

The real estate market has passed through the first 4 months of 2023, but the dismal pace still remains. Accordingly, the waiting situation of buyers still exists, which has dragged down market liquidity, especially in the land plot segment.

Besides, the segments serving real demand such as apartments, although the demand is still high, the supply has decreased.

Recently, the Government has issued a number of policies to help ease supply difficulties for the real estate market. Specifically, Resolution 33 of the Government was issued at the right time and was very useful for the market. The resolution has clearly indicated the issues to be solved with a specific roadmap, promoting all relevant agencies and units to participate in the implementation. This helps to strengthen trust and support the market in accordance with the safe, healthy, and sustainable goals.

Positive developments from the Government’s economic, financial, and monetary policies are creating a more positive sentiment for the market, contributing to directing real estate demand back to real value. The real estate market will reverse in 2024 in the condition that macro-management policies continue to be as positive as today.
