The real estate market in Hanoi in April 2025 recorded a clear prosperity in the transfer segment, including the transfer of apartments, residential houses and low -rise projects. According to data from the Center for Market Research and Understanding the One Mount Group, the total secondary transaction of the whole market reached about 7,600 units, an increase of 67% compared to March, higher than the average of the market (6,150 units/month).
In the general picture of the transfer market, the apartment segment reached about 3,400 units, an increase of 39% compared to the previous month and was the highest level in the last 12 months (since May 5, 2024). Compared to the "bottom" level in February 2025 (only 1,000 units traded), the market recorded 2 consecutive months, exceeding the average level of about 2,650 units/month.
According to Mr. Tran Minh Tien - Director of One Mount Group Market Research and Customer Insight Center, the breakthrough of the transfer apartment market in April 2025 is the result of the resonance of three main drivers.
Accordingly, real housing demand continues to remain high, especially from young families who tend to look for a place to live in urban areas with synchronous planning, complete infrastructure and full amenities.
The land fever in the outlying provinces is gradually cooling down, causing investment cash flow to tend to return to real estate products with high liquidity, clear legal status and the ability to exploit immediately like apartments have been handed over.
In addition, the seasonal factor also plays a big role. Many customers have had a need to transact before Tet but have only completed legal procedures and transfer documents after the holidays. This makes the transaction volume tend to increase in March and especially in April 2025 - creating a clear "fall point" of liquidity in the first cycle of the year.
In Hanoi, the number of transactions at Vinhomes Ocean Park increased by 48% (reaching 570 apartments), Vinhomes Smart City increased by 36% (reaching 430 apartments), and Vinhomes Times City increased by 25% (reaching 130 apartments) compared to the previous month.
Mr. Tran Minh Tien added: Factors such as inter-regional traffic connectivity, delivery quality, and a convenient ecosystem are becoming an important filter in consumer purchasing decisions. Today's buyers no longer only look at price or area, but focus more on actual use value and stable profit potential".
The developments of the secondary market in the first 4 months of 2025 are showing a clear trend: cash flow is being strongly regulated from the lack of liquidity of land for apartment transfer products that have been handed over. Stability, rental exploitation capacity, quality of life and legal available continue to be factors that help the secondary apartment market maintain its appeal.
Expert Tran Minh Tien acknowledged: "If this recovery momentum continues to be maintained in the coming quarters, the transferred apartment segment will continue to play an important anchor, helping to maintain the overall liquidity of the entire real estate market in 2025".
