Not to mention the cost of electricity, water and other services is also a big burden" - Ms. Thuy shared.

Townhouses are a segment that was sought after in the past by investors for its rental efficiency. However, at present, with the situation of high real estate prices, not only does real buyers feel afraid but investors are also gradually withdrawing.

Talking with some investors, it is known that previously spending 10 billion VND to invest in buying a house in a townhouse for rent will earn a fairly stable cash flow. However, this segment has now increased to 30-50 billion VND per unit, while the rental price has remained almost unchanged. Even now, renting premises for business is in a downward trend, causing very low profitability.

CBRE statistics show that currently, the average primary selling price of townhouses in Ho Chi Minh City is about 300 million VND/m2, while the transaction price on the secondary market (buy and resell) is about 160 million VND/m2. With this price, a 100 m2 townhouse usually costs from 30 billion VND, while a small 50 m2 house also has the lowest price of 15 billion VND. Even when buying on the secondary market, buyers need to prepare a minimum financial source of 8-16 billion VND. See more...
