Investors in Hanoi’s real estate market primarily sought land plots of 30 to 60 sq m in the first three months of 2019, according to a quarterly report from batdongsan.com.vn released on April 10.
Land prices in some districts outside of Hanoi’s center increased slightly as a result. Prices in Dong Anh district have risen steadily over the last five years and have grown about 61 per cent in the last two years. The local real estate market is certainly changing in Dong Anh and other districts such as Hoai Duc, Thanh Tri, and Gia Lam.
