At the regular Government press conference in February 2026 held in Hanoi on the afternoon of March 4, representatives of the Ministry of Construction informed about removing legal difficulties for the real estate market, and expectations for the development of this market in 2026.
Mr. Ha Quang Hung - Deputy Director of the Housing and Real Estate Market Management Department (Ministry of Construction) - said that in 2025, the Government has directed ministries and sectors to focus on implementing and removing bottlenecks in institutions, laws and capital sources.
On that basis, the real estate market in 2026 is expected to enter a clearer recovery phase.
According to Mr. Ha Quang Hung, 2025 recorded many positive changes in reviewing and amending mechanisms and policies. Specifically, including: land law; urban and rural planning; construction; housing; and regulations related to investment and finance - banking.
These contents have been amended and supplemented to handle bottlenecks that have lasted for a long time.
“Based on that, for the real estate market in 2026, we expect to record a synchronous improvement in both supply and demand,” Mr. Ha Quang Hung said.
Regarding supply, representatives of the Ministry of Construction said that many projects that were previously stuck, stalled or slow to implement have been resolved and are preparing to restart. In particular, projects that have completed legal procedures and are eligible for implementation are expected to increase compared to 2025.
The clearing of supply is expected to contribute to regulating the price level, reducing the pressure of hot prices, and creating conditions for people with real housing needs to access products suitable for their income.
However, the market is still affected by macroeconomic factors at home and abroad, interest rate fluctuations and capital costs. At the same time, requirements for planning, standards, housing regulations, environmental protection and sustainable urban development are increasingly high. Thus, policy management needs to ensure harmony between growth goals and risk control.
In general, the real estate market in 2026 is forecast to be vibrant with caution. The apartment and housing segments serving direct demand continue to play a leading role.
The differentiation is increasingly clear when buyers and investors prioritize projects with transparent legal status, synchronous infrastructure, real utility value and investor reputation. This will be the foundation for the market to develop healthily, reduce speculation and move towards sustainable growth in the new period," said the Deputy Director of the Housing and Real Estate Market Management Department.
Regarding liquidity, the market is forecast to recover in a more substantive direction, associated with real housing needs and long-term investment, instead of depending on short-term hot uptrend cycles.
Segments expected to continue to grow in 2026 include social housing, worker housing and affordable commercial housing - areas that will be prioritized for development in the coming time.
