During the fourth quarter, approximately 6,700 apartments were sold in the city. The absorption rate of market decreased by 2% compared to the third quarter and 9% in the comparison to the same period in 2015.
According to CBRE Vietnam, the high proportion of foreign direct investment (FDI) capital and remittances spurred growth for the Vietnamese real estate sector in 2016 and the trend is expected to continue in 2017.
The real estate firm said the proportion of the FDI capital flowing into the real estate market in 2016 was the second highest among economic sectors.
Despite a lack of breakthroughs, resources for the real estate sector remain strong and will prop up the market in 2017, the CBRE said .
FDI capital continued to be a key growth driver in 2016 and seven percent of FDI flowed into real estate, which was modest compared with the level of 25 percent during 2007-2009 but was valuated as more sustainable, according to the CBRE.
Savills Vietnam forecasted that about 77 projects with 55,000 apartments will join the market in 2017, mostly located in districts of Hoang Mai, Thanh Xuan, Ha Dong and South Tu Liem.
