Ho Chi Minh City apartment prices approach VND90 million/m2, land prices cool down
According to the latest Report of One Mount Group, the average apartment selling price in the entire Ho Chi Minh City market in the second quarter of 2025 was recorded at 88.7 million VND/m2, maintaining a stable increase of only 0.4%. The main reason comes from the fact that mid-range projects accounted for 42% of new supply in the quarter, helping to regulate the structure of the capital segment that has shifted towards high-end and luxury in recent times.
The apartment absorption rate in Ho Chi Minh City reached 36%, an increase of 20 percentage points over the same period last year. This result reflects that market demand remains high, although new supply during this period is relatively limited.
According to the survey results of over 300 customers (most of whom are customers in Ho Chi Minh City and have an income of 25 million/month) in early 2025, real estate continues to affirm its position as the top priority investment channel for investors, in the context of a volatile economy. Notably, apartment products have emerged as the most popular choice, attracting strong attention from investors. Next is the real estate (residential) and land segment, showing diversity in investment trends, however, apartments still maintain the leading position in terms of attractiveness in the market.
It is forecasted that in the period of 2025 - 2026, the supply of newly opened apartments is expected to reach 10,000 to 13,000 apartments per year, and the selling price will continue to maintain an average growth rate of about 14% per year. The Ho Chi Minh City apartment market is expected to have positive changes as legal problems are gradually being resolved, creating favorable conditions for new projects and capital flowing into the market.

On July 25, according to Lao Dong, the Lang Son Provincial Inspectorate has just pointed out a series of violations against the Hoang Van Thu resettlement area expansion project, Dong Dang town (now Dong Dang commune).
