Real estate prices in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and many other major cities are constantly rising, turning the dream of owning a home into an illusion for many young people.
The real estate market in 2026 is projected to continue recovering with increased supply and high demand for housing; however, house prices will remain high, and the market will be clearly differentiated between segments and regions.
According to the Vietnam Association of Real Estate Brokers (VARS), as supply expands across the board, the market begins to enter a phase of genuine competition.
