1. Will The Real Estate Market Be Hot End Of 2025?

 

1. Vietnam’s real estate market is expected to become more active toward late 2025 as the government pushes to resolve legal bottlenecks that have slowed project development. Experts note that improving supply will give buyers more options, though a “hot” market is unlikely due to past price corrections and affordability pressures. Forecasts vary: the ideal scenario predicts a 40–50% increase in supply, interest rates around 8–9%, price growth of 10–15%, and 40–45% absorption. The optimistic scenario signals moderate improvement, while the challenging one anticipates slower recovery with limited growth.

2.  

   Demand remains strong thanks to ongoing urbanization, according to industry specialists. Legally clear land with solid infrastructure continues to attract investors, and villas and townhouses retain high prices due to scarce urban land. Reputable developers still see steady secondary market performance, while apartments are expected to lead the recovery in major cities as both demand and supply improve. Overall, the market is positioned for a cautious yet steady rebound.

2. Da Nang Proposes Maximum Land Price of VND 350 Million per m².

 

Đà Nẵng is collecting public feedback on its draft 2026 land-price table, which for the first time proposes prime-area prices reaching up to VND 350 million/m². Central urban wards such as Hải Châu, Hòa Cường, Thanh Khê, and Sơn Trà are expected to see residential land prices rise by 5–9%, while suburban communes like Liên Chiểu, Hải Vân, Hòa Khánh, and Ngũ Hành Sơn could see increases of 28–29%. Several peripheral areas slated for new development show the steepest growth, including Bà Nà (+82%), Hòa Tiến (+80%), and Hòa Vang (+81%). Bạch Đằng Street remains the most expensive, with its highest-priced segment reaching nearly VND 350 million/m².

 

In contrast, the lowest land price—about VND 3.5 million/m²—is found along the old National Highway 1 in Hòa Xuân ward. The draft table covers residential, commercial-service, non-agricultural production, and agricultural land. According to the city’s Department of Agriculture and Environment, the revision aims to close the gap between official and market prices, improve state land-management efficiency, and ensure more accurate calculations of taxes, fees, land-use payments, and compensation related to land recovery.

3. Proposal to Regulate Infrastructure Investment Unit Rates for Specialized Projects.

 

HoREA has urged the Ministry of Construction to issue guidelines defining technical standards and separate investment unit rates for infrastructure in “special-type” real estate projects—those located on weak soil, reclaimed land, or remote rural areas. The association argues that the current method of deducting infrastructure costs from land-use or land-lease fees relies on standard construction cost regulations that fail to reflect the significantly higher investment required for such challenging sites. Under Decision 409/QĐ-BXD (April 2025), urban infrastructure investment is set at VND 7.5–8.5 million per hectare, but actual costs for special-type projects can exceed these benchmarks by roughly 30%.

 

HoREA believes establishing distinct unit rates for these projects would create a fairer and more accurate basis for calculating developers’ financial obligations. More appropriate cost recognition, they argue, would help incentivize investment in underdeveloped or difficult areas, reduce financial distortion, and ultimately support land-value growth and regional development.

4. Central Vietnam Hub Danang Set To Become A ‘Laboratory’ For New Financial Models.

 

Da Nang is positioning itself as a key hub within Vietnam’s planned international financial centre (IFC), focusing on next-generation financial services such as green finance, fintech, and digital assets. Under the national resolution, the IFC will span both Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, with Da Nang specializing in innovation-driven finance rather than replicating HCMC’s broader financial role. The city’s IFC strategy centers on three pillars—green finance, trade finance, and fintech/digital assets—supported by initiatives such as a regulatory sandbox for digital assets, blockchain, AI-based solutions, and enhanced fund-management activities to nurture fintech startups and SMEs.

 

This plan aligns with Vietnam’s shift from manufacturing-led growth toward service sectors tied to global capital flows. Da Nang aims to leverage its deep-water port, international airport, free-trade zone, and high-tech park to attract investors and talent. Implementation has begun, including allocating a 22-storey building in Software Park No. 2 for the IFC and developing the legal and regulatory foundations expected to roll out from late 2025.

5. Nearly 4,700 New Real Estate Businesses Established: Has The Market Truly Recovered?

 

In the first ten months of 2025, Vietnam’s real estate sector witnessed the establishment of nearly 4,700 new businesses, marking a 20.3% increase compared to the same period last year. Alongside growing registered capital and improved liquidity, this surge reflects rising confidence among investors and developers after years of stagnation. Notably, 2,767 companies resumed operations, while FDI inflows remained stable at USD 1.5 billion, highlighting continued interest from both domestic and foreign investors. Major industry players are also restructuring and expanding to seize recovery opportunities, indicating a positive market outlook.

 

However, experts caution that quantity does not guarantee sustainable quality. Around 1,523 firms dissolved during the same period, signaling ongoing market filtering. Despite rising supply and new entrants, credit has yet to fully meet real demand, and prices may remain largely stable. Long-term recovery depends on clear legal frameworks, financial capacity, and real end-user demand—factors many new firms may struggle to fulfill.
