for almost people here.
The real estate market is in condition of “fever” or “cool” is not because
of market principles but because of government regulation.
There are a withdrawn of speculators and short term investors which
accounted for 40-60% of purchasers after 71 Decree effective.
There are an oversupply for mid & high-end apartment in HCMC due to
some uncertainty economic matters and regulation.
Low-end segment is sold well due to its affordable price setting can skim
