Real estate decelerates, is there a chance to recover at the end of the year? www.vietnambiz.vn Land plot is no longer in the favorite list of investors after the fever cooled down.

Surfing the land plots, investors "exhaustedly" manage money to pay bank interest www.reatimes.vn Mr. David Jackson, CEO of Colliers Vietnam, predicted that in the next 6 months, it would be difficult for the land plot segment to return to its heyday. Even if the pandemic was under control, investors would not rush to return to the land plot segment anytime soon because cautious sentiment tended to lead the market. According to Mr. Jackson, in such a context, before deciding to invest, investors needed to know about their own cash flow, risk scheme and liquidity. Even if they wished to "surf" to make a profit that was not too high in a short time, having a suitable reserve was still very important, in case they could not find a real estate buyer.

Colliers News Real estate is difficult to recover at the end of the year, investors cautiously put money down www.vietnambiz.vn Mr. David Jackson, CEO of Colliers Vietnam said that the real estate market in the second half of 2021 depended greatly on the situation of pandemic control and vaccination progress, especially the resort real estate segment. Real estate buyers would be much more cautious, and actual transactions had also plummeted, making it more difficult for developers. According to Mr. David Jackson, in the coming time, investment capital would not only flow into coastal resort real estate but also into mountainous areas. In addition, the trend of “leaving the city to come to countryside” was gradually heating up, making resort farmland in the suburbs to be hunted. This expert predicted that many localities would continue to receive a lot of attention from investors who wanted to develop the farmstay model, such as Lam Dong, Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Long An, Binh Thuan or some suburban districts of Ho Chi Minh City such as Cu Chi.

In fact, the real estate market in these areas has begun to develop with the appearance of many well-invested infrastructure projects, attracting real buyers. This was really a good sign because the development of these areas would reduce the pressure of urbanization for HCMC.

Colliers News Covid is the right time to buy a "bargain" home? www.cafef.vn In the context where the pandemic has not been controlled, the need to live separately, safely and comfortably in the city center has become the top criteria for choosing a house of the well-off people. That is the reason why complexes with low density of apartments and multi-storey utilities in the area are still sought after even during the peak period of the pandemic in Hanoi. According to Colliers Vietnam, due to increasing demand and tight supply, the selling price of apartments in Hanoi in 2021 is expected to increase by about 7% compared to 2020. Therefore, this is a reasonable time for investors as well as those with real needs to “put money”. Because not only buy apartments with real value before the price “escalates”, home buyers also receive extremely attractive financial support from investors.
