"Vietnam Real Estate Report Q1 2011" is now available at Fast Market Research

Jan. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Vietnam's commercial real estate market has been overshadowed by a property glut. Rental rates fell by double-digit rates through 2009 - in each of the three cities for which we gathered data (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang) and across all three sub-sectors. Vacancy rates are generally running at around 30%.

Normally, in an economy that has been growing so quickly that the authorities are tightening both fiscal and monetary policy in order to curb inflationary pressures, rents and capital values would fall until much of the vacant space is absorbed.

Although the government intervened to re-regulate the commercial real estate sector in early 2010, it was not clear that this process of adjustment was under way in Vietnam. At present there are clear signs that the market is stabilising but uncertainties still remain. Our in-country sources indicated that Da Nang office and Hanoi industrial rents had increased dramatically since 2009. Elsewhere, rents tracked sideways or rose by single digit amounts. Looking forward, our sources anticipate that rents will continue to move sideways through 2011 before picking up towards the end of the forecast period in 2015. They are less optimistic about the prospects for higher rents in Hanoi than in Ho Chi Minh City or Da Nang.

Our view is that the government has allowed market forces to operate in at least some of the market. One of the key findings from our mid-2010 interviews was that yields had risen sharply in the office and industrial sub-sectors of Hanoi and Da Nang. The implication is that there has been a major adjustment in these sub-sectors - in the form of a slump in capital values.

It may well be that 2010 comes to be seen as the year in which the key trends in Vietnam's commercial real estate sector became much clearer. A substantial over-supply of property is being absorbed - although official intervention is still preventing across the board adjustments in rents, yields and capital values. Conditions in particular sub-sectors remain volatile - but yields are in general likely to move sideways or downwards over the coming four years.
