According to Ms. Nguyen Hoai An - Senior Director of CBRE Hanoi branch, Hanoi apartment prices have recorded very strong growth and have increased continuously since the fourth quarter of 2023, including both primary and secondary markets.
"Personally, I work in the market and have experienced several real estate cycles. This is a rare time and almost the first time that the apartment market in Hanoi has recorded such a rapid price increase in such a relatively short time," said Ms. Nguyen Hoai An.
Explaining the reason for the "sudden" increase in apartment prices in Hanoi in the recent past, the expert said that the Hanoi real estate market has been gathering many factors at the same time.
According to Ms. An, firstly, the real estate usage habits of Hanoi people have changed, meaning that Hanoi people are gradually getting used to and adapting to living in apartments.
Second, the Hanoi apartment market possesses a diversity of types, invested and developed by reputable domestic and foreign investors.
Third, infrastructure in Hanoi is being invested in synchronously, making it easy and convenient to connect with many areas. This opens up many investment opportunities as well as meets the real needs of new urban areas.
Fourth, policy factors related to finance and credit are contributing to creating favorable conditions for the real estate market in Hanoi. Especially for the apartment segment, investors and buyers can easily access bank loans. Thus, thanks to these policies, the market has more transactions, creating attractive liquidity.
Fifth, the increase in construction material costs also leads to an increase in apartment prices.
