Vietnam Property Market Update: HCMC Apartment Prices Hit Record High While Hanoi Slows

Vietnam Property Market Update: HCMC Apartment Prices Hit Record High While Hanoi Slows

This article contributed by Dustin Trung Nguyen, Head IQI VietnamResidential: HCMC apartment price climbs to new peak of nearly $4,700 per square meter. Apartment prices in Ho Chi Minh City rose to an unprecedented VND120 million (US$4,691) per square meter on average in the first quarter, marking a 47% increase year-on-year. But the record price was achieved because a majority of new launches in the last three months were in the high-end and luxury segments priced at above VND100 million (US$3,870) per square meter The eastern and central districts of HCMC, where the high-end projects are largely concentrated, continue to lead the charge in new supply, accounting for some 53% of over 2,390 units launched in the first quarter. The south and west, which still offer some mid-range projects (priced at around VND60 million per square meter), represent 19% and 15% of the supply.  Knight Frank’s data shows that the average apartment price in HCMC in the first quarter reached nearly VND92 million per square meter, a 12% rise from the same period last year, with transaction volumes dropping by 47% compared to late 2024. Cushman & Wakefield CEO Trang expected HCMC to add around 9,500 new apartments in the second quarter, predominantly in the high-end segment with an average selling price of VND120 million per square meter. If the prices continue to rise, demand is expected to gradually shift toward the city’s suburban areas and neighboring cities, where prices remain affordable.  Hanoi apartment price growth in the first quarter decelerated to the slowest pace in nearly two years as sellers lower their rates to attract buyers. Prices on the primary market – where developers sell directly to buyers – averaged VND75 million (US$2,915) per square meter in the first three months, a 3% growth from the last quarter of 2024, this was the slowest quarterly growth since the second quarter of 2023. The secondary market – where buyers sell to other buyers – also saw slower price growth at 3% to VND50 million. In most projects, prices were stagnant, except for those in prime areas where leasing potential was high.  Data from research firm Cushman & Wakefield echoed these findings, reporting declining demand for Hanoi’s apartment sector. The market recorded sales of over 4,300 units, a 53% drop from the previous three-month period. Absorption rates weakened as buyer confidence waned, with many prospective buyers adopting a cautious stance amid ongoing economic uncertainties. Most of the new units, 77%, were in the high-end and luxury segments, and few were affordable. Property listing platform Batdongsan has seen apartment prices in the capital going flat since the end of last year. Commercial:  Many shopping malls in Hanoi, most of them once thriving hubs of entertainment and retail, are now largely vacant and attract few customers. Meanwile, HCMC office rents at 5-year high driven by rising demand Premium office rents in HCMC reached a five-year high of US$67 per square meter on average last year after rising by 2.2% from 2023. Across all grades (affordable, mid-range and premium), the average rent rose by 1.6% to $36, according to property consultancy JLL Vietnam. Data from market researcher Knight Frank confirms the rising trend, showing prime office rents grew by 3% last year to $61.  Occupancy rates in new office buildings were 88-90%, it said. Another property consultancy, Savills, said the HCMC office market has seen a steady increase in rentals over the past decade.  Last year, across all grades, they increased by 2-3% but demand remained strong as indicated by occupancy rates of above 89%.  Trang Le, CEO of JLL Vietnam, said recovery in demand from both domestic and international businesses has been a key driver, allowing premium office landlords to confidently hike prices. Last year the vacancy rate dropped to just 6% at premium buildings and 12% across the market, she added.  Japanese companies have been active in securing office space, accounting for 19% of the more than 75 companies that signed new lease agreements in HCMC, JLL data shows. Vietnamese businesses were in second place, with South Korean and American firms close behind. The information technology and communications sector led the demand for office space (accounting for 30% of the total absorbed area), followed by the finance and banking, retail and pharmaceutical industries. Want deeper insights into global property trends?

Canada’s Real Estate Outlook: Regional Shifts and Signs of Recovery in March 2025

Canada’s Real Estate Outlook: Regional Shifts and Signs of Recovery in March 2025

This article is contributed by Yousaf Iqbal, Head of IQI CanadaIn March 2025, the Canadian real estate market reflected a mixed picture, shaped by ongoing economic uncertainties and regional variations. While national home sales experienced a slowdown, stable home prices and early signs of recovery in key urban centers signal cautious optimism for the months ahead. Interest rate adjustments and improved affordability continue to influence buyer sentiment. Greater Toronto Area (GTA) The GTA market saw a modest cooling in March, with home sales declining compared to last year. The average selling price dipped by 2.5% year-over-year to $1,093,254, while the MLS® HPI benchmark fell by 3.8%. Despite the slowdown, market watchers point to a potential rebound later in the spring, as more listings come online and borrowing conditions improve. Vancouver Vancouver’s housing market remained relatively balanced. While residential sales slowed slightly, increased listing activity and steady pricing indicate seller confidence. Inventory continued to build, giving buyers more negotiating room. The market is expected to maintain stability, especially as mortgage rates become more favorable. Montreal Montreal experienced a healthy uptick in activity, with home transactions surpassing seasonal expectations. The city's relative affordability compared to other major metros, paired with supportive lending conditions, has kept buyer interest strong. Inventory levels are rising steadily, helping to meet demand. Toronto Homeownership in the Greater Toronto Area became more affordable in March 2025, with lower borrowing costs and declining home prices making monthly mortgage payments more manageable. According to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), continued rate cuts and increased housing supply are expected to benefit buyers by boosting affordability and negotiation power. However, economic uncertainty and the upcoming federal election are causing some households to delay purchasing decisions. TRREB officials noted that consumer confidence, particularly around employment stability, will be key to driving future home buying activity. Vancouver Metro Vancouver recorded its lowest March home sales since 2019, with 2,091 residential transactions—a 13.4% decline from March 2024 and 36.8% below the 10-year average. Meanwhile, active listings surged, reaching 14,546, up 37.9% year-over-year and nearly 45% above the seasonal average. Despite political and economic uncertainties, market conditions have become increasingly favorable for buyers. Mortgage rates remain low, prices have eased from past highs, and inventory is at its highest in almost a decade. However, buyer activity remains muted, with a sales-to-active listings ratio of 14.9%, indicating a balanced market overall. Benchmark prices showed mixed trends: Detached homes: $2,034,400 (↑0.8% YoY) Apartments: $767,300 (↓0.9% YoY) Townhomes: $1,113,100 (↓0.8% YoY) New listings jumped 29% from last year, reflecting growing seller confidence. While attached homes are nearing sellers’ market territory, the overall market is experiencing slower momentum similar to early 2023, with potential for stronger activity in the coming months. Quebec Source: https://members.gvrealtors.ca/news/GVR-Stats-Package-Mar-2025.pdf Source: https://trreb.ca/wp-content/files/market-stats/market-watch/mw2503.pdf  Source: https://com.apciq.ca/fsmi-stats/mensuelles/2025/stats-202503-en.pdf Want deeper insights into global property trends?

Rising Returns: Why Perth Is the Bright Spot in Australia’s Housing Market Recovery?

Rising Returns: Why Perth Is the Bright Spot in Australia’s Housing Market Recovery?

This article is contributed by Lily Chong, Country Head of IQI AustraliaAustralia’s property market is back on the rise, with national home values increasing by 0.4% in March, marking the second month of growth after a brief three-month decline. According to CoreLogic’s Home Value Index, this broad-based recovery saw positive results in every capital city except Hobart, and gains across all regional areas. Darwin led the way with a 1.0% rise, while Sydney and Melbourne—Australia’s largest markets—have now enjoyed two months of upward movement. Sydney values are just 1.4% below their record high, and Melbourne, despite a longer downturn, has recovered by 0.9% over the past two months. What’s behind the bounce? Improved sentiment following the February interest rate cut is likely the main driver, improving both borrowing capacity and mortgage serviceability, says CoreLogic Research Director, Tim Lawless. However, he notes that with the rate-cutting cycle expected to be drawn out, affordability constraints could test the momentum. Interestingly, the growth in values is becoming more balanced across market segments. In Sydney, for example, upper-tier properties rose 0.6% in the past three months compared to 0.3% in the lower quartile, reversing a recent trend of stronger gains among more affordable properties. Perth has recorded a remarkable 75.9% surge in property values since the start of the pandemic, adding $348,519 to the median dwelling price, now at $807,715, according to CoreLogic. Houses rose by $367,000 and units by $225,000 over five years, making Perth the top-performing capital city in Australia, ahead of Adelaide and Brisbane. Regional WA also saw strong growth, with Geraldton up 94.4% and Bunbury rising 81.1%. The rapid rise is attributed to Perth’s previously low price point, following a market decline before 2020. Despite these gains, Perth remains more affordable than Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, and Adelaide. Analysts predict values will grow by another 8% in 2025, though housing affordability remains a concern, especially for younger buyers, as highlighted by recent research from the Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre. For investors and homeowners alike, Perth’s property market presents exciting opportunities. Whether you’re considering selling, buying, or investing, now is the time to explore your options.

Hong Kong Residential Sales Market Dynamics

Hong Kong Residential Sales Market Dynamics

Relaxing the CIES to Safeguard the Northern MetropolisHong Kong’s residential property market has endured a three-year downturn, marked by a structural oversupply of housing units. While lower housing costs and increased availability align with social objectives, this environment has created a critical challenge—a contraction in the future development pipeline and a sharp erosion of governmentland revenue.The number of units on disposed sites (ready for imminent construction) plummeted by 33% year-on-year to about 12,000 units in 2024.Government land premium income collapsed to about HKD 4 billion in the first three quarters of FY2024/25—a fraction of both last year’s HKD 13.9 billion actual income and this year’s HKD 33 billion target.If left unaddressed, relying on market self-correction risks perpetuating a downward spiral of asset devaluation, stalling urban renewal projects, and jeopardizing strategic initiatives such as the Northern Metropolis—a cornerstone of Hong Kong’s long-term economic and social development.The Northern Metropolis, envisioned to house 2.5 million residents and generate 650,000 jobs, demandsunwavering commitment from developers. However, their participation hinges on confidence in future demand and returns. With demand-side headwinds intensifying—sticky U.S. interest rates dampening price recovery prospects and population growth lagging—developers are increasingly reluctant to commit capital to large-scale projectsThis hesitancy creates a vicious cycle:Prolonged oversupply suppresses developer margins, reducing their capacity to invest in future projects.Falling land premiums strain public finances, limiting critical infrastructure investments for the NorthernMetropolisActivating Demand-Side Mechanisms to Resolve Structural OversupplyThe solution to the current market stalemate lies in activating demand-side mechanisms. We propose the following targeted refinements to enhance the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (CIES):Full recognition of residential property investments – Allow 100% of residential property investments to counttoward the HKD 30 million eligibility threshold under the CIES.Remove price restrictions on residential property investment – Eliminate the HKD 50 million valuationrequirement for residential properties under the CIES.DOwnload now!

This article explores the latest developments shaping the industry and their implications for investors, developers, and homeowners.Regulatory Overhaul: Strengthening Accountability and FairnessLaunch of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA)To combat fraud and streamline operations, Pakistan’s federal government has finalized plans to establish a Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA). Modeled on global best practices, RERA is set to introduce stringent measures to professionalize the sector:Mandatory registration for agents and developers, with penalties ranging from Rs50,000 to Rs0.5 million for non-compliance.Criminal liability, including up to three years’ imprisonment, for unregistered agents.Enhanced buyer protections, such as license cancellations for fraudulent disclosures and fines up to Rs1 million for unauthorized transactions.This framework aims to rebuild trust in real estate transactions while aligning Pakistan’s sector with international standards (GNN News, 2025).Revised Property Valuations in KarachiThe Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has recalibrated property valuations in Karachi to reflect depreciation and market realities. Adjustments include:5% reduction in assessed values for homes aged 5–10 years.Up to 50% reduction for flats over 30 years old.This revision eases tax burdens for homeowners and incentivizes transactions in aging properties, potentially revitalizing Karachi’s mid-tier housing market.Relaxed Rules for Non-FilersIn a bid to stimulate market activity, the FBR now permits non-filers to purchase properties valued up to PKR 10 million.
