As of now, the real estate market has gone through the first 8 months of the year, recording positive developments with a series of new projects launched, many achieving good absorption rates in certain projects and markets. So, how will the real estate market perform in the remaining months of the year?

Mr. Nguyễn Văn Đính, Chairman of the Vietnam Association of Realtors, stated that the real estate market in the last months of 2025 is expected to become vibrant, with around 25,000 new products launched from upcoming projects. The supply structure continues to show the absolute dominance of condominiums. Among these, the high-end and luxury segments play a leading role, accounting for the largest proportion, while the affordable commercial housing and low-cost housing segments are nearly “extinct.” This indicates that price levels are increasingly out of reach for end-users who can only afford mid-range housing.

Looking ahead, primary selling prices are still on an upward trend, driven by rising land-use costs, project development expenses, and increasingly premium product positioning. Newly launched projects are generally well absorbed thanks to sustained real housing demand, while investment demand is also returning with expectations of continued price increases. However, the absorption rate is forecasted to stabilize, no longer as overheated as in previous phases.

In the secondary market, liquidity mainly concentrates in projects within large-scale mega-urban areas or localities implementing key infrastructure projects. Notably, transactions in suburban areas and provinces adjacent to the two special-class cities continue to record strong growth, thanks to lower prices compared to central districts and high appreciation potential in the future.

For the remaining months of the year, Mr. Đính believes that housing demand, including both end-users and investors, will keep increasing, supported by economic growth and rapid urbanization. Regarding land plots, products with transparent legal status, valid subdivision, and located in areas with ongoing infrastructure development continue to see positive price growth. This remains a favored segment for investors seeking “safe and sustainable” products with stable profit margins.

In the villa, townhouse, and shophouse segment, primary prices remain high as new supply mainly comes from master-planned urban townships with well-developed infrastructure and amenities. Moreover, rising land costs and scarce land banks in major cities further push up primary prices. On the secondary market, prices in projects developed by major developers, with existing residents and established communities, maintain steady growth. Particularly, projects that simultaneously develop high-rise segments create a synergistic effect, enhancing the appeal and long-term profitability of low-rise products.
