Share on this issue, PhD. Tran Nguyen Minh Hai - real estate expert in Ho Chi Minh City, said the price of apartments in Ho Chi Minh City City increased sharply in 2020 due to the following reasons: The city's land fund is increasingly scarce, resonating with it is the problem of legal congestion, credit on real estate continues to tighten, leading to a decline in apartment supply.
