However, not all regions are experiencing growth. Bà Rịa – Vũng Tàu (former) remains stagnant, with land prices dropping by 10% and interest declining by 13%. This trend indicates that investors are becoming more selective, favoring areas with well-developed infrastructure and clearer potential for future price appreciation. In reality, investment capital is shifting towards regions bordering Ho Chi Minh City, which benefit from new infrastructure and attractive price levels.
Recent observations show that land plots priced around 30–40 million VND/m², located near Ho Chi Minh City and close to key infrastructure projects, are attracting significant investor interest.
In the southern part of Ho Chi Minh City, projects such as The 826 EC, KDC Thái Sơn Long Hậu, Saigon Village, Saigon RiverPark, Long Hậu Riverside, and Five Star Eco City are highly regarded by investors for their large land areas, transparent legal frameworks, and synchronized infrastructure. Buyers anticipate substantial price growth potential, especially as major infrastructure projects near completion.
Among these, The 826 EC (a 15-hectare red book land plot project) developed by Hai Thành, scheduled for launch on October 12, has already recorded significant bookings. The project is located at the intersection of Lê Văn Lương Extension and Long Hậu, offering individual red books for each plot and fully developed internal infrastructure.
Additionally, The 826 EC Commercial Urban Area is adjacent to the Long Hậu Green Industrial Park, providing quick access to District 7 (former). It also benefits from regional infrastructure advantages such as Hiệp Phước Port, Metro Line 4, Ring Road 4, and the Bến Lức – Long Thành Expressway. The project is just a 20-minute drive from Long Thành International Airport, making it a valuable asset for future growth.
Developed transportation infrastructure is a critical foundation directly influencing the potential value increase of real estate.
According to a real estate agency director, the land plot segment is “heating up” from the end of this year, driven by stable infrastructure and policies. Key infrastructure projects like Ring Road 3, Ring Road 4, and the Bến Lức – Long Thành Expressway are providing momentum. Coupled with low interest rates and limited supply, the land plot segment is expected to continue attracting investment capital.
When asked about future price increases for land plots, the director emphasized that land prices in Ho Chi Minh City will undoubtedly continue to rise. Specifically, by the fourth quarter of 2025 and early 2026, land plots could increase by 15–16%, fueled by major infrastructure announcements, large-scale projects from major developers, and the typical year-end investment surge.
The rise in land prices is strongly supported by significant infrastructure investments. The government is accelerating public investment in transportation infrastructure and public works, substantially enhancing the potential and value of real estate.
“Furthermore, the newly adjusted land price framework has increased, making existing land funds more attractive. Meanwhile, personal income tax remains at 2%, providing stability and confidence for both investors and homebuyers. Combined with stable economic growth, positive GDP, and high gold prices, real estate investment demand remains strong,” the director stressed.
A survey by Batdongsan.com.vn reveals that over 60% of real estate agents in Ho Chi Minh City believe the market will continue growing in the fourth quarter of 2025, with 17% expecting significant growth. Apartments remain the most promising segment, followed by private houses and land plots.
According to Đinh Minh Tuấn, Regional Director of Batdongsan.com.vn in the Southern region, increased public investment, the completion of Ring Road 3, the Ho Chi Minh City – Mộc Bài Expressway, and administrative merger information are creating strong momentum for the Ho Chi Minh City market and surrounding areas.
