About 15.8% of surveyed enterprises said that there will be an explosion in certain segments and markets in certain regions in the next six months. Only 15% respondents felt their business results would be more difficult in the period. 

The real estate market will face some big challenges in 2021, including the unpredictable development of the Covid-19 pandemic, the lack of concrete policies on certain segments such as condotel, officetel, and shophouse, leading to different treatment among cities and provinces.

The survey also noted that the process of appraising, approving and licensing construction investment projects remains long and complicated.  

According to the survey, priorities for real estate companies continue to ensure the efficiency, quality and progress of existing projects as well as hiring and training human resources to meet market demand. 

Firms are expected to promote investment, technology application, branding, R&D, resource assessment, and corporate restructuring, according to the report.
