1. Real Estate Market 2024: A Golden Time to Invest?
Real estate remains a popular investment channel and is projected to continue attracting attention in 2024. Despite facing difficulties, the real estate market has shown signs of recovery. Nationwide, in 2023, there were 4,725 newly established real estate businesses and 2,081 real estate businesses returning to operation, a 109.1% increase compared to 2022.
Real estate also ranked second in attracting foreign investment, attracting nearly $4.67 billion, accounting for over 12.7% of the total registered investment in the real estate business sector, a 4.8% increase compared to the same period. This indicates that real estate is still an attractive field for investors.
Experts and relevant organizations all believe that 2024 is a good time to invest in real estate. Major projects are being launched in the market, and macroeconomic policies and legal corridors are supporting market development. The bank interest rates are also low, creating opportunities for investors to access cheap capital.
However, investors need to be aware that if the market enters a period of strong growth and high prices, that is no longer a good time to buy. Therefore, 2024 is considered a good time to “bottom fish” the market and choose to purchase real estate at the best prices.

2. The Vietnamese Real Estate Market: Poised for a New Growth Cycle but Challenges Remain
Shifting Tides: While major breakthroughs are not guaranteed, 2024 is expected to be the final year of significant hurdles for the market. Experts anticipate a gradual transition towards stability, laying the groundwork for a new and potentially more sustainable growth cycle.
New Drivers: This shift will be driven by several factors, including:
Policy Support: The recent passage of key legislation like the Housing Law and Real Estate Business Law signifies a focus on improving market regulations and transparency. Additionally, the government is expected to implement further measures to address liquidity issues and stimulate lending.
Market Diversification: The focus is likely to move from luxury segments towards affordable housing and social housing, catering to the needs of a broader range of buyers. This shift aligns with government priorities aimed at addressing the nation’s housing shortage.
Tourism Revival: The gradual recovery of the tourism sector, particularly in coastal areas, is expected to bolster demand for resort real estate and hospitality-related properties.
Challenges Persist: Despite the optimistic outlook, challenges remain:
Economic Uncertainty: The global economic slowdown and potential recession raise concerns about investor confidence and market volatility.
Real Estate Backlog: Existing unsold inventory in some segments, particularly high-end properties, could put downward pressure on prices and hinder recovery.
Effective Policy Implementation: The timely and effective implementation of new policies and regulations will be crucial for their intended impact on the market.
Conclusion: While the Vietnamese real estate market navigates its transition towards a new growth cycle, uncertainties and challenges remain. However, policy support, diversification of offerings, and a gradual economic recovery all contribute to a cautiously optimistic outlook for the future.
Meaning for Da Nang City:
As a major tourist destination and real estate hub, Da Nang stands to benefit significantly from a revitalized national market. Improved market conditions and increased focus on affordable housing could further fuel Da Nang’s development, attracting both domestic and foreign investors. However, the city must also carefully manage its own real estate development pace and address potential imbalances to ensure sustainable and inclusive growth.

3. New law passed, what should upcoming homebuyers pay attention to?
The newly passed Real Estate and Business Law in Vietnam aims to enhance buyer protection. The law introduces clearer definitions, restructuring, and additional provisions, simplifying application. Key changes include transparent disclosure of future properties by developers, explicit conditions for property business, and revised payment terms, limiting the initial deposit to 5% and reducing payment upon lease purchase.
These amendments provide legal frameworks ensuring both developers and buyers fulfill their rights and obligations, fostering a more transparent real estate market. Buyers are advised to thoroughly research and understand property details, legal documents, and contracts before investing. The law is expected to be effective in 2025, offering a robust legal framework to safeguard investors’ interests.
