In an article titled “Resort real estate on the rebound in 2021”, the author points out that the market’s challenges over the past year will cause investors to be more cautious in their options. In particular, the factors of location, clear legal status, high profitability and reputation of the investor are the top priority.
1) Real estate on the rebound:
In recent surveys and conferences, many experts share that the Covid-19 pandemic has caused many difficulties for the real estate market. However, with the positive signal of vaccines and good Covid-19 control policies, the real estate sector in particular and economy in general has started to warm up and will heat up again by 2021.
To confirm this, Mr. Nguyen Van Dinh, Deputy General Secretary of the Vietnam Real Estate Association acknowledged that although Vietnam has experienced a large decline in international visitors, this is still an opportunity for investors because we have great potential for tourism, especially marine tourism. With over 20 million international visitors to Vietnam each year with an average vacation time of 5-7 days per vacation, and 85 domestic visitors with an average vacation time of 3 to 4 days, Vietnam tourism will need more investment projects in the form of complexes integrating tourism, entertainment, relaxation, and shopping. Opportunities for tourism real estate, especially resort real estate in 2021, remain numerous.
2) Choose the right investment product
Considering the positive changes in the market, investors need to choose the right products. Resort and tourism real estate is a long-term business rather than short-term investment and investors will be more cautious when looking for projects with reputable investors, diversified development models, strong legal status and good management and operation systems.
Considering investing in Vietnam? Our approach is to understand your specific investment objectives, risk tolerance, and target locations. Whether you are looking for your first rental property, buying and selling properties, or building value through long-term hold, CVR can help you maximize your investment goals.

The title of the next article is quite self-explanatory: “The trend of cash flow into the office segment of foreign investors”
The office market in Vietnam is a market that belongs to homeowners / investors. High demand and limited vacant space are the driving force for landlords / developers to continuously increase office rents over the years.
There are core factors that cause foreign investors to choose the office sector as one of the most important segments for investing in Vietnam’s real estate market.
First, FDI inflows into Vietnam increased proportionally with the need to find offices for FDI enterprises. Foreign investors develop office buildings according to international standards, meeting the requirements of foreign tenants. Compared to the hotel or residential segment, the office market brings a steady cash flow to developers / landlords as a lease usually lasts from 3 to 5 years.
Second, in financial terms, the profit from office buildings is also an attractive factor for investors.
More and more office space is available in apartment blocks. Significant future supply could cause the average occupancy to decrease over the next two years. In the long run, office developers will need to raise standards of health, safety and how it operates. Dynamism in project management and efficiency in green design will be two easy success factors.

An interesting article by Thu Thu is titled: “Leader of Batdongsan.com.vn forecasts the real estate market in 2021”
- A decade of up and down
According to Mr. Nguyen Quoc Anh, during the past decade, the Vietnamese real estate market has developed in parallel with the economy. Vietnam’s economy has grown dramatically in 10 years when per capita income reached 2,750 USD / year, an increase of 129% compared to 2011. The average GDP rate over the past 10 years has also reached more than 6%. Along with economic fluctuations, the real estate market in Vietnam has also witnessed ups and downs throughout the past decade.
- What’s the scenario for the real estate market in 2021?
Mr. Nguyen Quoc Anh said that in 2020, 10 major traffic projects will begin.
In terms of types of real estate, the apartment building segment continues to maintain steady growth in terms of posting and interest levels. Hanoi apartment prices continued to go sideways and remain stable. Ho Chi Minh City apartment prices are forecasted to continue to increase in 2021, a total increase of about 9%.
Regarding the private house and townhouse segment, the interest level and the rent of private and townhouses decreased significantly. The asking price for private houses in Hanoi is forecasted to grow in 2021, reaching around 5%.
The land plot segment will decline significantly in most major markets across the country. Hai Phong, Bac Ninh and Hoa Binh are the 3 localities that have maintained an increasing interest level in the past 3 years.
