The residential real estate market in Ho Chi Minh City can be classified into 4 distinct housing segments each with its own defining characteristics. On one end exists the “affordable segment” targeted at low-income earners. Followed by the sandwiched “mid-end segment” that is affordable by Vietnam’s growing middle-class. Followed by the highly popular “premium segment” of housing. And at the upper end of Ho Chi Minh City’s housing segment spectrum exist the “luxury segment” of housing. More noticeably in recent times, a 5th class of apartments has emerged, that of the “ultra-luxury segment” catered only to the top tier of society.

Luxury Property Segments
The emergence of high-net-worth individuals in Vietnam, has resulted in luxury properties making their appearance in HCMC. As a result of the rapid pace of increase in HCMC’s land price, developers have increased their selling price. Additionally, developers need to deliver a product that can justify its price point to keep sales moving. Recently, hotel branded ultra-luxury properties are setting a new price ceiling in HCMC’s real estate market. The luxury segment categorizes any product above USD 5,000 per square meter, while ultra-luxury properties are in excess of USD 15,000 per square meter.
