At the endof last year, there was a revival, with 40 percent of property trading floorsreturning to work.

According tothe MoC, the real estate market has gradually picked up and the number oftransactions has been on the rise since the first quarter of this year aftermost provinces and cities returned to the “new normal”.

Notably, manyfloors have invested in facilities and training staff to professionalise the services. There has also beenan exchange of information among the floors to enhance their effectiveness.

However, theministry pointed out some real estate trading floors are perceived to colludewith each other for price gouge.
