Talking to Lao Dong, Ms. Le Thi Dung (born 1986, working in Hanoi) shared that her family is looking to buy a house in an alley for convenient transportation, suitable for work in the inner city.
Ms. Dung informed that last week, she was taken by a real estate broker to see a house in an alley in Dich Vong ward (Cau Giay district) with an area of 65m2, 4 floors with a selling price of about 6.8 billion VND, equivalent to equivalent to nearly 104 million VND/m2. But when she finished viewing the house, she had to turn around and leave quickly because she was afraid of a fire.
"Even though it is located in the central district of Hanoi, this house was built decades ago and is now seriously degraded. If we lived here, my family would be forced to park the car outside because the entrance and exit alley is too narrow. narrow, afraid of fire and explosion" - Ms. Le Thi Dung said.

When the market is difficult, prices will decrease. This figure has decreased but it is nothing compared to the increase, and now it continues to increase again" - Mr. Nguyen Van Dinh cited.
