Carina fire incident led to sharp decrease in newly launched condominium units

In Q2-2018, HCMC real market welcomed an additional 6,109 condominium units, down 36pct on-year. Especially, mid-end segment witnessed the biggest decrease in the new launch, down 62pct on-quarter and 5pct on-year. This situation is probably because the fire incident at the end of March has put a stronger focus on safety measures in condominium projects and made the process of obtaining the relevant safety certificates more stringent.  Besides, the government has also limited bank credit going into real estate in order to control the overheating of the market. As a result, developers are expected to look for other sources of funding besides bank loans.  In terms of area, the East and the South will continue to be hotspots for H2-2018, especially the Thu Thiem area. Sales momentum will continue to be upbeat; however, developers should focus more on handover quality, facilities, and management quality in order to gain customers’ trust and differentiate themselves from the competition.
