Hanoi remains a bright spot for the supply of landed properties (townhouses and villas), with total supply expected to exceed 7,000 units in 2025, according to a survey by CBRE Vietnam, a foreign real estate service company.
The Hanoi real estate market in the first half of this year saw increases in villa and townhouse prices, although the market was still slow, according to a Savills report into the housing market in the capital released on July 11.
Townhouse and villa transactions in Ho Chi Minh City have fallen to the lowest in the last five years with their primary supply reaching only 40% and a low absorption rate, according to real estate consultancy Savills Vietnam.

Local demand for real estate products with long-term ownership exceeds supply as most of Vietnamese people prefer this kind of deal, experts said during a recent conference.
Seaside resort real estate has become a hotspot for investors in the recent two years in the central city of Da Nang, said the property service group CBRE Vietnam on August 9.
