Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Prices Expected to Rise Amid Market Recovery

Ho Chi Minh City's real estate market is experiencing a notable recovery, with transaction volumes and economic indicators showing a positive trend in the first half of 2026. This rebound follows a quiet period from 2022 to 2024.

According to Trịnh Quốc Dũng, Deputy Head of the Technical Infrastructure Department at the HCMC Department of Construction, the market's liquidity and economic indicators signal a recovery. Notably, five projects have received funding from the 145 trillion VND credit program, with cumulative disbursed amounts nearing 597 billion VND. In the first five months of 2026, over 19,640 real estate transactions were registered, with a total value exceeding 92 trillion VND. Furthermore, 25 future commercial housing projects have been approved for capital mobilization, offering 18,947 units to the market.

The eastern part of the city continues to lead the market in the mid-range and high-end segments. Prices in areas like Cát Lái and Long Trường range from 45 to 55 million VND per square meter, with some projects reaching 65 to 160 million VND. The luxury and super-luxury segments, including apartments and low-rise housing in the city center and the Cần Giờ coastal reclamation project, are seeing prices around 400 to 500 million VND per square meter, with some units priced at approximately 20 billion VND.

Authorities are actively promoting social housing development and working with investors. Dũng expressed optimism that the market will continue its upward trajectory in the second half of 2026, with improved liquidity and absorption rates. He anticipates that prices will continue to rise but in a more differentiated manner, favoring projects with good locations, complete legal status, and genuine housing demand. The implementation of new laws related to land, housing, and real estate business is expected to stabilize market sentiment and accelerate project approvals and construction.
