Impact from infrastructure

Mr. Nguyen Manh Ha, Chairman of the Association of Real Estate Brokers in Vietnam analyzed: “In addition to the large population (the population of Hanoi is estimated to reach 7-8.2 million by 2020 and 9.3 million by 2030). The fast speed of urbanization is also one of the reasons stimulating the demand for housing in Hanoi.

It is forecasted that the middle class number of Vietnam increase rapidly, reach 44 million people by 2020, reaches 21 million of households with income more than 7,500 USD by 2030. Those are the major source of homebuyers and part of investors, which are also the reasons leading to the strong development of the villa/adjoining market.

At the same time, there are dramatic changes to meet the real needs of the market. Those who have real need will be the main source of customers of this segment, because these are of great value, low liquidity so it is difficult to invest in “surfing” style.

In 2017, this type of real estate will be benefited from the improvement of urban infrastructure in Hanoi. Traffic is more and more open, first of all is expressways, inter-regional routes, metro which will create a great opportunity to develop townhouses/villas projects outside the center of Hanoi both in the medium and long term.

Nguyen Hoai An, Director of Research, Consulting and Pricing of CBRE also reviewed that Hanoi and HCMC are experiencing rapid real estate development in recent years, requiring the development of infrastructure. New buildings such as overpasses, tunnels and above trains have been built to keep pace with this speed.

The Cat Linh – Ha Dong high-speed over train route is expected to be put into operation by the end of 2017, which is expected to bring a lot of benefits to nearby real estate projects and cause the increase the demand for  developing utilities attaching to transit points.

Over time, the face of Hanoi real estate including villas/ townhouses will change as consumers change their habits of transporting and living.
