Not only has land value surged following the merger, but numerous apartment complexes in Da Nang have also seen staggering price hikes, particularly in Cam Le and Son Tra districts.

Ms. Thanh Huong, a resident of Phong Bac Apartment Complex (Cam Le District), shared that in recent months, her complex has seen a significant influx of prospective buyers. Many are former residents of Quang Nam Province relocating to Da Nang for work and life.
“Just two months ago, a 52 sqm unit was priced around VND 1.5 billion, but now it’s listed above VND 1.7 billion. A 63 sqm unit is now nearing VND 2 billion. Despite the rapid price increases, every unit listed is quickly snapped up. Friends have asked me to keep an eye out for them, but there’s nothing available,” she said.
This complex, located approximately 10 km from the city’s administrative center, offers convenient access via riverside roads. Nestled among the buildings is a sprawling, breezy park. The surrounding community is peaceful and civilized, making it a sought-after location. Units in buildings CT01, CT02, and CT03 are often sold out.
Ms. N.X., a local real estate agent, mentioned that she scours the market daily, even hourly, but availability is scarce. Some units are reserved within hours of being listed. “Previously, selling an apartment was challenging, with negotiations sometimes dragging on for months. Now, buyers decide swiftly, fearing further price increases. Some even break their deposits to secure higher offers,” she explained.
The spacious, clean park between the apartment buildings is a major draw for prospective residents.

Apartments in Son Tra District have also seen dramatic price increases. Ms. Minh Trang, a resident of 12T2 Apartment Complex, noted a recent surge in real estate agents showing units. Prices here now hover around VND 2 billion. Given the complex’s proximity to both the beach and the city center, she finds this pricing reasonable amid the current red-hot real estate market. She added, “Earlier this year, I never imagined my apartment would reach VND 2 billion, yet now buyers are struggling to find available units.”
On social media and real estate platforms, apartments priced around VND 2 billion are trending. Nguyen Quang, a real estate agent, noted that the immediate housing demand from newcomers to Da Nang is driving rapid sales. Most of his clients are workers, civil servants, and officials with limited budgets, seeking mid-range or older apartments.
Mr. Xuan Hoang and his wife, from Nong Son District, relocated to Da Nang for work. With their savings, they sought an apartment to settle down. Two months ago, they found a unit in Cam Le District priced at VND 1.5 billion. Hesitating due to the cost, they explored other options. However, any location meeting their criteria—within 10 km of the administrative center, breezy, and civilized—was similarly priced or higher. “Our hesitation cost us hundreds of millions as prices soared. Now, we’re determined to buy before prices rise further, but finding a unit remains challenging. Once, we arrived for a viewing only to learn the seller had accepted a higher offer,” he lamented.

Da Nang is currently developing numerous commercial apartment projects, but prices are exorbitant, averaging VND 70 million per square meter. These rates are out of reach for most workers and civil servants.

Last year, the Vietnamese Dong (VND) depreciated by approximately 5%, according to economist Can Van Luc. This year, the US Dollar (USD) has weakened by around 10%, while the VND has further declined by 3.4%. Such a rare phenomenon highlights the complex dynamics between these two currencies.
