Positive signs for the real estate market in Dong Nai

Following its merger with Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai province has not only expanded its development space but also reaffirmed its strategic role as a gateway province in the Southeastern region, bordering Ho Chi Minh City and enjoying convenient connectivity to surrounding localities. With a large population, a substantial migrant workforce, and a series of major infrastructure projects underway, including Long Thanh International Airport, Ring Road No. 3, and the Bien Hoa–Vung Tau Expressway, Dong Nai’s real estate market is showing signs of revival after a prolonged period of stagnation.

 

In recent years, the real estate market in Dong Nai, like many other parts of the country, experienced a slowdown. The leading causes stemmed from bottlenecks in mechanisms, policies, compensation, and site clearance. In fact, the real estate market in Dong Nai has great demand, especially for social housing for workers, including civil servants, public employees, and factory workers. Notably, after the merger with Binh Phuoc, the number of civil servants and workers relocating from the former Binh Phuoc area to the new Dong Nai provincial center has increased, driving up housing and real estate demand.

 

In response, the Dong Nai authorities have introduced a series of synchronized measures to promote a healthy real estate market, including publicizing urban planning, accelerating digital transformation in land management, and reviewing public land funds. At the same time, the province has proactively coordinated with central ministries and agencies to address the policy and regulatory challenges faced by real estate enterprises. The government’s flexibility and companionship have helped restore investor confidence, unblock credit flows, and attract additional social capital into the sector. To date, the real estate market in Dong Nai has recorded many positive signs, with numerous large-scale projects being launched, initiated, or reactivated, particularly in the social housing segment, which promises to boost the province’s housing supply.

 

Looking ahead, to ensure the stable and sustainable development of Dong Nai’s real estate market, in addition to focusing on planning and building a diverse, modern, and well-connected transportation infrastructure system within and beyond the province, Dong Nai also needs to diversify its housing supply to meet actual needs. Priority should be given to developing social housing, workers’ housing, and satellite urban areas associated with industrial parks. Meanwhile, Provincial authorities should strictly control land-use planning, prevent speculative activities, and enhance the legal framework, as well as inspection and supervision mechanisms, to ensure a transparent and efficient market operation.

 

With its strategic location, increasingly improved infrastructure, and the determination of local authorities, Dong Nai is gradually unblocking the “flow” of the real estate market. The clear signs of recovery in recent times provide grounds for optimism that the province’s real estate market will soon accelerate, making a positive contribution to Dong Nai’s and the entire Southeastern region’s socio-economic growth.
