According to Lao Dong reporters, although the level of interest is increasing, recently there has been information on selling apartments at a loss on the market.
Mr. Tran Van Minh (born in 1990, in Hanoi) said that during his search for a house, he also fell into the trap of selling apartments at a loss of hundreds of millions of VND.
Mr. Minh once read information about selling apartments at a loss, but then contacted the broker and said that the discounted apartments were out of stock, currently there are only a few apartments priced from 90-120 million VND/m2 in the inner city.
Similarly, when the reporter contacted to ask about information about selling apartments at a loss, Mr. Nguyen Hoang (character's name has been changed, a real estate broker in Hanoi) explained that the post about apartments at a loss is old, the apartment prices here have entered a stable period.
Mr. Hoang invited reporters to learn about 2-3-bedroom apartments on Minh Khai street that are ranging from 100-110 million VND/m2.
"Now that apartment prices in this area have increased, there is no longer a loss, you can choose a 2-bedroom apartment. Apartments under 8 billion VND/unit in the inner city are scarce, the 8-9 billion VND/unit is common" - this real estate broker advised.
Rushing to sell apartments on groups, Ms. Tran Thi Thuong (owner of an apartment in Vinhomes Smart City urban area) said that because she needed money to move around, she was selling a 2-bedroom apartment here for more than 3.9 billion VND, equivalent to 82 million VND/m2, including furniture.
According to Ms. Thuong, apartment prices here have been increasing continuously since the beginning of 2025, with almost no trend of cutting losses. In case they want to sell quickly, the homeowner can slightly reduce 30-50 million VND for willing buyers.
If they cannot sell at the expected price, Ms. Thuong will not reduce the price too much, but will choose a monthly rental solution.
Experts from the Onehousing real estate analysis ecosystem have commented that when researching low-cost apartments, people should pay attention, be vigilant, and carefully research the project, investor and apartment to have a comprehensive view, avoid "falling into" information traps, need to verify according to market prices, check the origin and legality of the apartment.
The development of the Hanoi apartment segment is clearly reflected through data from the website Batdongsan.com.vn in the fourth quarter of 2025. Data shows that the apartment segment with the strongest price increase does not appear in the core urban area but is mainly concentrated in areas along Ring Road 3 (Hanoi).
Not only that, after a long period of continuous increase, the average primary selling price of apartments in Hanoi has now exceeded 100 million VND/m2.
Typically, Lancaster Legacy project has an average price of about 149 million VND/m2; Heritage West Lake 140 million VND/m2; Discovery Complex 115 million VND/m2; Vinhomes Global Gate 130 million VND/m2; Cau Giay Center Point 88-123 million VND/m2; Lumi Hanoi 82-112 million VND/m2; The Matrix One 120-150 million VND/m2...
Experts from the website Batdongsan.com.vn predict that in the first 6 months of 2026, apartments and individual houses will continue to be two segments with great prospects. The apartment segment is forecast to grow by 42, while private houses and townhouses will increase by about 31%.
