Le Hoang Chau, chairman of the HCM City Real Estate Association, said the State should amend the Land Law, regulations on land use rights for lands of tourism resorts, Investment Law, Enterprise Law and Bidding Law to have a transparent competitive environment.
He said real estate investors should be most concerned about the risk of supply and demand.
Earlier, Minister of Construction Pham Hong Ha said in 2018, the ministry would implement a project on assessing the situation, forecasting trends and proposing market solutions and management policies to promote a stable and healthy development of the real estate market.
This is an important database to follow developments in the property market, propose solutions to promote those developments and enhance inspection and supervision to implement laws on housing and real estate market, Ha said.
The ministry will regularly engage in dialogues with associations and businesses to deal timely with feedback and proposals of enterprises and the public.
Nguyen Tran Nam, chairman of the Vietnam Real Estate Association (VNREA), said the domestic real estate market has had a stable and healthy development.
In 2017, the number of real estate transactions increased sharply against 2016. Hanoi and HCM City had 64,263 successful transactions, mainly including affordable and mid-level apartments, Nam said.
Property prices were generally stable. The price rose by five percent for apartment and 10 percent for land. Meanwhile, the inventory of property products in 2017 continued to decline by 17 percent year-on-year.
VNREA has urged the government to come up with solutions to the existing problems of the property market, including land fund for social houses and cheap commercial houses, as well as regulations for new kinds of real estate, such as condotel, officetel and village resorts. These solutions are expected to create favourable conditions for an impressive growth of the property market this year, Nam said.
