On the morning of August 22nd, at the People’s Committee hall of Huong Son commune (My Duc district), Vietnam Auction Partnership Auction Company, in collaboration with the My Duc Land Development Fund Center, organized an auction for the land-use rights of 11 plots in Tien Mai village (Huong Son commune).

Approximately 100 customers participated in the auction, with 262 eligible applications.

However, by noon on August 22nd, all 11 plots had been resold by real estate brokers at prices VND 200 million to VND 650 million higher than the auction price. Specifically, plots 03, 05, 07, 08, 09, and 10 were resold with a markup of VND 200 million each; plots 01 and 06 with a markup of VND 250 million each; plots 02 and 04 with a markup of VND 300 million each. Plot 11, in particular, was resold at a markup of VND 650 million.
Mr. H, an employee of a real estate brokerage firm, stated that the markup on the plots depended on their location and the winning bid amount. For instance, plot 11 had the highest markup because it had the lowest winning bid.
