Report

Rough period could last until 2023

  • Since 1986, after Vietnam had moved toward a market economy model, Vietnam's real estate market has experienced three strong growth periods, in both market size and selling price (1993-1996, 2007-2010) and experienced declines in the following years. These fluctuations was attributable to changes in land policies and monetary policy.
  • We believe that the real estate market has entered the third booming period (2018 – 2021) thanks to the recovery of banking system after restructuring, expanding monetary policy and COVID-19 pandemic. However, the contraction period could have started from 2022, when (1) capital raising through bond market has been congested and (2) credit policy gradually shifted to strict regulation, especially real estate sector. According to data from the Ministry of Construction, in 3Q2022, most residential real estate activities showed signs of significantly slowing down compared to the same period last year. The number of licensed and eligible projects for sale decreased by 8% and 23% over the same period.
  • In short term, we believe that macro-economics difficulties should not be resolved. In addition, if compared with previous cycles, it is expected that it will take two to three years for the real estate market to start a new recovery.

Land mania in 1993 – 1996: Policy shifts
