Chairman of HCMC Real Estate Association Le Hoang Chau said that businesses have brought out new projects and revived a number of frozen ones after eight years of difficulties.

The launch of a series of new projects with attractive advertisement has confused potential house buyers and put investors in a severe competition to get customers. The Government has recently warned of the return of a property bubble.

Deputy Director of Him Lam Land Company Ngo Quang Phuc said the housing supply very abundant and advised customers to carefully find out about projects that they are interested in so as to make an accurate choice, suiting their demand and financial conditions.
