Meanwhile, in the resort real estate segment, large resort projects such as Novaland World Hồ Tràm, Vũng Tàu Pearl, Hưng Thịnh's Lavida and An Gia's The Sóng bring abundant supply. However, the price is still increasing at this time because of the interest of large corporations in Hồ Tràm and Đất Đỏ.

Office for lease in the fourth quarter as well as in the whole year recorded low demand, the price decreased by 10-15 per cent compared to 2020.

The number shows that there are 11,900 sets of registration documents at land offices.

In which, Châu Đức District and Bà Rịa City continuously witnessed land fever from October to December. Other localities saw fever from November to December.

VARs said that investors needed to carefully check the law themselves because the characteristics of vibrant land plots in the province were mainly agricultural land, on which many industrial zones were currently being planned. — VNS
