The real estate business community must set a target of sustainable development, obey the law, respect the legitimate rights and interests of customers and have social responsibility. They should also switch to develop green and smart real estate, zealously participate in the programs on relocation of houses on and along the canals, programs on reconstruction of old apartment buildings, social housing programs, the project to develop innovative urban area in the East of the city and the urbanization plan to upgrade outskirt districts to districts, contributing to changing the quality of the city’s real estate market.
According to experts’ forecast, with the help to resolve difficulties and problems of the central and municipal authorities, the real estate market will possibly recover and post growth again as of the third quarter of this year with better transparency, fairness and healthiness than before. This year, there is little risk of a real estate bubble but there might be a hike in prices in some places where there is planning for urban development and transport development. In the first six months of this year, real estate enterprises might continue to face difficulties and challenges. The market segment for one-to-two-bedroom commercial apartments with an approximate price of VND2 billion per unit continues to keep the leading role in the real estate market. In addition, the supply of social housing projects will increase this year.
