    The real estate story sold by agents in Vietnam is all about long term profit in the short term. Buyers beware of buying off the plan. It’s much better to wait until construction is complete and you can see the keys in your hand. A pink book certificate of ownership is essential, or don’t buy.

    I was a real estate investor in the USA for over 20 years. The real estate collapse in Vietnam is not uncommon. We've seen this movie many times around the world most recently in China. People are greedy. They inflate the market so they can leverage debt to make more money. The crash is always going to happen because as the price goes up, demand will eventually drop. This a natural market correction. However, because the leverage is so high, they can not absorb the correction. Like a balloon, their run on overinflated prices pops, and the market crashes.
    The Vietnamese real estate market never made sense to me. The tell-tell sign is the gross rent multiplier, which is the selling price divided by the annual sum of gross rent a property would get. A good gross rent multiplier is 4 to 7. For example, a property that can rent for $1,000 USD per month shouldn't be purchased for more than $84,000 USD (1,000 x 12 months x 7 grm).
    Currently, in the United States, real estate prices are averaging a gross rent multiplier of 14. So, my $1,000 rent example would command a price of $12,000 × 14 = $168,000.
    In Vietnam, I see real estate priced 20-30+ times the rental value. That is telling you the property is highly overpriced.
    Many real estate buyers have no clue about the GRM because they are purchasing the home to live in. However, the gross rent multiplier is one of the easiest guages of supply and demand. High gross rent multipliers tell you the rental market is weak and/or the real estate prices are inflated, but inventory is high.
    I see this in Thailand all the time. People buy the new condominium for several hundred thousand US dollars and then can't sell anywhere close to their purchase price several years on the market. They lose money in the rental market because there is plenty of inventory at low prices that don't cover all the expenses. A person is lucky to break even renting their home in Thailand. I expect it is even worse in Vietnam trying to sell your home even at a loss.
    The low rental prices are attracting young people to countries like Vietnam and Thailand. I will never buy as long as rents are cheap. I can invest my money in other sectors and get a higher return on my investment without the headache of owning. I maintain my freedom to move to other cities and countries, and my money is liquid.

    It's tough for foreigners to buy property in a foreign land. The locals can barely afford it. There's a huge surplus of properties in Vietnam due to large number of construction projects. Think of the ghost towns of Phu Quoc Island. It's a huge risk for foreigners to own any property in a foreign country - which could end up like the Forest City Project in JB.

    Like any asset market..., it will get worst before it gets better. Once the market hits bottom, it will stay there until the consumer feels confident enough to start buying again. Which could take years...

    This is actually good, the rapid rise of property in any city is always unsustainable when there isnt real business happening. Its just a speculative action base on euphoric future prices and thats very bad. A solid correction is good for the long run. Hope some lessons are learned

    It usually takes 2 years from the start of rates hikes until the drop in RE prices. I suspect we're going to see a global RE price correction over the next year or two. It's like any other asset, it went into a bubble, but the correction will be painful. I might buy a few condos in Vietnam if the prices are good in 2024-2025.

    The majority of people pour money, borrow from friends, families and get loan to buy real estate hoping to earn a huge fortune. They would rather take out loans than putting it in the bank to buy land. Land price is sky high with the majority of ordinary Vietnamese can’t afford to buy land let alone a house even if they work and save their whole life. It is ridiculous because the government has no real policy to control it.

  • @dancooper5741

    The whole country is one big Ponzi scheme. Properties were never built to be lived in….they were purely commodities traded by speculators , buy & flip merchants. That games over now, I’ve known people earning a few hundred dollars a month borrowing 40 times their annual salary to buy & flip a property. They hope to sell before the loan payments are due .
    That’s obviously driven the prices to ridiculous levels that cannot be sustained.
    And most of these properties are of very low build quality,,so they’re basically dealing in junk . The worst is yet to come.

    Any real estate directly or indirectly associated with China is likely to be several times higher than the actual market rate that would be sustainable if no speculation or financing by banking institutions were involved. The true market rate based on the citizenship national income levels is easily calculated without using the shenanigan and Ponzi type sales and calculations used by China. The inflation of values is always based on external forces where outside investors and wealth relocation represents the main incentive to harvest such funds, and such forces is not sustainable long term. There will always be parties and business entities that will attempt to prop up artificially high values of properties, which means those prices were never a good purchase and represented a premium that long term investors will never be able to recover.

    Vietnam must have retirement visas to sell and have those new apartments filled up with renters. Average Vietnamese person is not making enough money to buy property, and foreigners cannot own properties in Vietnam. Visa policy must be relaxed and retirement visa options should be implemented soon. Also, Vietnam should come up with more favorable business policies or residential visa policies for Viet Kieu overseas to attract them coming back to Vietnam to live and contribute to its economy. Just a thought. 🙂

      I wonder if you sir are actually reading these comments. I feel like it is a waste of time to comment. This far each time I have commented there has been zero response. I am not sure how to more forcibly impress upon you that some might be actually seeking answers and a heart emoji is not an acceptable response. If you care at all and you wish to grow your brand there absolutely needs to be a more heartfelt response. There is a reason some channels are super popular. Clearly here there is zero engagement and you don’t care enough to provide support to your viewers. I suppose they say you reap what you sow. So if you are not willing to give a little then you can’t have a lot. Good luck.

      I think the numbers have to be taken in context - the price drop was not in % terms but in $ value. This can be an important distinction as he included developments like Empire City. Empire City sells for $6000+ USD per square meter. So, a 100 square meter apartment (~1000 sqft for Americans - which is probably 2-3 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms) would still sell for $600,000 USD - a $38K drop is like a ~6% drop. Now, if a majority of the units he was referring to were in the $100,000 range to start, they this would be a great deal. However, that is not what I am seeing on the ground. If anything, the lower priced segment is the one still performing relatively well.

    The United States raised its interest rates has created a money crunch around the world. The united states plans on raising rates at least one more time which will make things even worse. Once the rates are at the new highs these rates will stay elevated for approximately 6-12 months before they start to get lowered. Real estate Prices are not done plummeting yet. People will loose their jobs and prices will tumble further. If you buy real estates at current prices get ready to hold the bag for around 5-8 years before you make any decent profit.

If I owned an apartment in Vietnam for say (just making this up) for say 200,000 dollars and I pay 3,000 dollars a month in mortgage, and the apartment drops to 180000 dollars it only matters if I lose my job or other income and I have to sell. It also doesn't matter if the apartment increases to 230,000 dollars. It only matters when you buy and sell.

Now one can look at the also crashing real estate market in Commie China and connect the dots to understand what's happening in Commie Vietnam, its minion. The corrupt Commie Vietnamese regime has been Commie China's puppet regime for almost a century now, selling out Vietnam's territory Spratly Islands to its master even back in 1958 signed by traitorous Commie Pham Van Dong.
