The HCM City real estate market has shown signs of recovery this year, with a 10 per cent year-on-year increase in the value of total transactions.
According to a report by the General Statistics Office, they were worth VNĐ80.85 trillion in the year to date.
Experts forecast a further recovery in the market in the second half of 2024 and a complete recovery from 2025 onwards, driven by several factors such as foreign investment, reviving demand and infrastructure development.
But challenges persist, including high prices and legal issues related to licensing.
