Tighten real estate transactions
From 2025 to now, Da Nang's real estate market has recorded positive recovery signals, leading to more bustling transaction volume. At the same time, the city government tightens management to prevent loopholes in transactions and policy profiteering.
According to Mr. Ngo Dinh Hung - Deputy Chief of Da Nang Tax Department, the city is strengthening cash flow control in real estate transactions to improve the efficiency of state management and ensure a healthy investment environment. At the end of 2025, the city requires organizations and businesses to strictly comply with reporting real estate transactions from 400 million VND (must be paid through banks) to prevent and combat money laundering.
According to the provisions of the Law on Anti-Money Laundering 2022, from December 1, 2023, transactions with a value of 40,000,000 VND or more must be reported to the State Bank of Vietnam, however, for real estate transactions in the past, the compliance with this regulation is still neglected. According to the tax authorities, the nature of the regulation is to create inspection traces so that units have more basis to compare financial obligations, functional agencies have grounds for unusual reviews, and buyers and sellers reduce legal risks when money goes in and out transparently.
Many investors seriously recognize that this tightening is necessary. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Bao (investor from Hanoi) said that cash flow transparency helps stabilize prices, limit speculation, and reduce disputes: "Clear information makes it easier for investors to calculate, and capital management also reduces risks.
For real buyers, bank transfers help them feel more secure than depositing cash, transacting through intermediaries without commitments or being dragged into "two-price" contracts. Many people assess that the new regulations can contribute to cleaning up the market, forcing participating parties to strictly comply with the rules of the game.
Along with that, Da Nang is promoting the implementation of anti-money laundering regulations in the real estate sector. Mr. Nguyen Ha Nam - Director of the Department of Construction said that the Department has issued documents requesting banks, project investors, real estate service businesses, exchanges... to comply with the Law on Anti-Money Laundering 2022: customer recognition, information updates, risk assessment, periodic reports, and internal process development.
Transparency of project information
Recently, the Da Nang Department of Construction announced the results of conditions inspection for 13 projects that have completed technical infrastructure and are eligible for transferring land use rights to individuals to build houses themselves. The projects are concentrated in the old Quang Nam area, with a scale of 28 to more than 350 land plots; the largest of which is Bac Hoi An Commercial and Service Urban Area (355 plots), followed by Thanh Ha Urban Area - sub-zone 1 (315 plots).
Publicizing the list of eligible projects for transfer is a mandatory requirement under the 2023 Real Estate Business Law (effective from August 1, 2024). The law clearly stipulates: before transfer, the investor must complete the technical infrastructure and send a document to the management agency to check the conditions.
Mr. Nguyen Truong Son - Deputy General Director of Saigon - Da Nang Investment Joint Stock Company acknowledged that initial procedures are stricter, but in the long term create fair competition, reducing the risk of "selling projects on drawings". Individual investors also appreciate the legal safety when information is officially announced, instead of relying on brokers, limiting speculation, surfing, and "deposit - reservation" transactions that are not in accordance with regulations.
Da Nang identifies real estate as a driving force for growth, so tightening transactions, publicizing project legal status, controlling cash flow and preventing money laundering are not just technical measures, but a way for the city to "keep the pace" so that the market warms up in accordance with the law, value, and needs.
