40. IV. CONCLUSIONS AND FORECAST
Vietnam
• Mysterious residential demand – Don’t try to time the market
• The second home market along central coast will be exciting in 2010 and
2011
• Retail development is exploding in Viet Nam
• “Hanoi and HCMC urbanization problems” are being repeated in many other
provincial cities (traffic, land prices [CBD vs. Suburban])
• Poor infrastructure in HN and HCMC: limiting the speed of urbanization and
hampering the real estate market. Keeps land prices high
• Capital for property developments is an urgent issue for developers because
land price too high so no $$ left for construction
• Developers more mature and starting to ask the right questions. Starting to
think about “what is the highest and best use” for a certain land parcel rather
than copying neighbour
41. IV. CONCLUSIONS AND FORECAST
HA NOI MARKET
•Apt. for sale:
• In short term, design and price not meeting end user expectations
• High pressure on the Grade A segment due to high prices
• The market already adjusting to lower grade segment in the next 2 - 3 years
•Office for lease:
• Rent rate will continue fluctuating in 2010 with a slight downward trend in CBD
• In some “planned projects”, ‘gov’t zoning’ not allowing for market dynamics,
developers are struggling
•Retail market
• Supermarkets will continue booming in the next 2 - 3 years
• Disappearance of traditional markets in the CBD
• Modern retail malls will start to dominate
42. IV. CONCLUSIONS AND FORECAST
HCMC MARKET
•Apartment for sale
• In 2010 and forward, clear trend of the market moving to the suburban districts,
Grade C booming.
• Oversupply in short to medium term
• Must find niche – Don’t follow the herd – unit size, price to end user
•Office
• 2010 Grade A rents bottoming out at US$50/ sq m per month
• Short term new supply not true Grade A
• Tenant’s market
•Retail
• Quality design = success
• Shops will get bigger
• Retail will emerge in the suburban districts
•
43. V. RISK AND OPPORTUNITY
•RISK •OPPORTUNITY
• Inflation risk • Cash is King
• Interest rate hikes • Foreign funds looking to Asia
• Over supply in some sectors • Retailers interest very high
and areas • Infrastructure improving in the mid
• Under supply in others term
• Competition getting smarter • Focus towards end users
• Exchange rate and trade • Favorable demographics and
balance concerns nature resources
• Knowledge is POWER
