"Turn around" not buying a house in the alley because of high prices near Tet

Thu Giang |

Hanoi - The price of houses in narrow alleys has been increasing continuously during the Tet holiday, in some places it has exceeded 150 million VND/m2.

Talking to Lao Dong, Ms. Le Thi Nguyet (46 years old, living in Nam Tu Liem district) shared that when she saw the price of apartments in the inner city skyrocket, she changed her direction to learn about the house segment in the alley near Tet.

Ms. Nguyet informed that after several months of searching, her family went to see some houses in the alley on Khuong Trung street (Thanh Xuan district) but had to quickly "turn around" because of the degraded condition and the high selling price.

"Many houses in the alley on Khuong Trung street have an area of ​​40 square meters, 5 floors, although they are in a degraded condition, with moldy walls, are still being sold for nearly 7.1 billion VND, equivalent to 178 million VND/square meter" - Ms. Nguyet said.

Similarly, Mr. Tran Hoang (33 years old, working in Hanoi) also said that although he wanted to buy houses and land in alleys, for more than a year now, this segment has been increasing rapidly. In recent months, Mr. Hoang has also gone to see many houses in alleys in Dong Da and Thanh Xuan districts but had to leave quickly because the selling price was not cheap, exceeding 100-150 million VND/m2.

Many real estate experts say that as the year draws to a close, the demand for buying houses in alleys in Hanoi increases sharply compared to other times of the year. Accordingly, the number of customers looking to buy private houses has increased by 40-50% compared to the previous quarter.

Mr. Nguyen The Diep - Vice President of Hanoi Real Estate Club - commented that in the condition of limited supply, the price of primary apartments in Hanoi is high, newly opened projects are all priced in the high-end segment, so a private house in an alley with an area of ​​30-40m2, priced at 3-5 billion VND is attracting attention.

Compared to the gloomy situation of the real estate market in previous years, at the time near Lunar New Year 2025, the real estate market in Hanoi is still quite vibrant, especially the segment of individual houses located in alleys.

Mr. Le Bao Long - Director of Batdongsan.com.vn - recommends that home buyers in alleys at this time need to pay attention to issues of price, construction quality, legality, location, and surrounding amenities to make the right decision.
