Auction shock: Thanh Oai land reduces premium to 20 million VND, new lots start from only 8 million VND/m2
Thanh Oai, Hanoi land auction reaches 100 million VND/m2: Twice or thrice the surrounding area’s price, is it too risky?
Truong Son Auction Joint Stock Company, the organizer of the first land auction in Thanh Oai district for 57 land plots in Cao Duong commune scheduled for tomorrow (August 17), has unexpectedly announced the cancellation of the auction and the refund of application fees and deposits to customers.
Truong Son Auction Joint Stock Company stated that they received a notification from the Land Development Center of Thanh Oai district regarding the suspension of the auction of the land use rights of 57 land plots in Dam, Muc Xa village, Cao Duong commune, Thanh Oai district, Hanoi.
The reason for this decision is that the People’s Committee of Thanh Oai district is re-determining the starting price for the auction of land use rights of 114 land plots in Cao Duong commune, following the decision of the People’s Committee of Hanoi.
Previously, according to the announcement, the 57 land plots in Dam, Muc Xa village, Cao Duong commune had an area ranging from 74.63 to 134.69 m2, with a starting price of 8,097,000 VND/m2.
At the above starting price (excluding taxes, fees, and charges), the deposit for the land plots ranged from nearly 121 to 218 million VND.
It is known that in August, Thanh Oai district will not organize any other land auctions.

On August 10, Thanh Oai district held an auction for 68 land lots in Ngo Ba, Thanh Than village, Thanh Cao commune. This auction caused a stir in the real estate investment community and public opinion as the winning bid was 7-8 times higher than the starting price. From a starting price of 8.6-12.5 million VND/m2, the highest winning bid exceeded 100 million VND/m2.
Many people opined that the reason this auction attracted so many investors was due to the low starting price. With the above starting price, investors only needed to make a 20% deposit, equivalent to about 200 million VND.

Mr. Nguyen Van Dinh, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Real Estate Brokers Association, said that in the past time, the real estate market has been stagnant due to the lengthy process of making and amending laws. In Hanoi, in the past 3-4 years, there have been almost no new official projects entering the market. There have also been very few land-related projects. Many land auctions in 2022-2023 were unsuccessful. Mr. Dinh assessed that the real estate supply is weak, but the demand is very strong. That is why thousands of people are interested in a few dozen land lots, and about a thousand people buy application forms to participate in the auction. According to Mr. Dinh, while the participants may have their calculations, the market will self-regulate through supply and demand. In the past few days, there have been cases of land auctioned in Thanh Oai district being resold at a loss. Therefore, participants in the real estate market need to have knowledge and expertise. |
