The projects on such streets as PhamVan Dong, Nguyen Van Huyen, Vo Chi Cong, and Lac Long Quan also recorded pricesurges, by about 1 - 3% from Q1.

However, prices decreased in some projectsof the mid-end segment that have been put into use for many years such as CT4Vimeco II in Cau Giay district down 1.4%, and Imperial Plaza in Thanh Xuandistrict down 1.9%.

In HCM City, new projects offeredfor sale in Q2 were mainly those under construction and with sufficient legalpapers, leading to a quarter-to-quarter increase of 2 - 3% in apartment pricesat some projects despite a stagnation in the market.

In contrast, prices fell in some otherprojects which have competitive prices offered by investors.
