Vacation property market

In the first half of 2022, there was only one newly-launched condotel project: Felicia Da Nang (70 units launched in the first phase). Currently, the city has a total of 7,384 condotel units (from 16 projects) and 2,522 vacation villas (from 13 projects).

For the past three years, the Da Nang condotel market had few projects opened for sales. Hence, the primary price hovered at CAGR 2019-21 of 4% per year and currently stood at 2,431 USD per square metre. The accumulated sold rate was reported at nearly 85%.

The vacation villa segment recorded no new supply in the same review period. The primary price remained unchanged and averaged 2,724 USD per square metre.

For the first half of 2022, no newly-launched projects are recorded. Currently, Da Nang has a total of 7,378 condominium units from 20 projects.

Several projects were introduced in the period of 2020-2021, even during the pandemic. Market-wide primary price averaged 1,475 USD per square metre and grew at a CAGR from 2019-2021 of 8% per year.

Primary prices currently stood at 2,100 USD, 1,300 USD and 650 USD per square metre for high-end, mid-end and affordable segments. High-end products rose at the highest, with a CAGR in 2019-2021 of 6% per year, mainly thanks to two projects, The 6Nature and The Sang Residence sold at a relatively high price range compared to similar grading ones in the city.

Meanwhile, the primary price of the mid-end segment slightly went down as FPT Plaza 2 offered 700 units for sales at quite lower than the same grading peers.

In the upcoming time, the Da Nang condominium market is expected to thrive, with 10 new projects to be launched, providing an extra 5,600 units. 

Luxury apartments will take the lead, promoting the market-wide primary price growing at a CAGR in 2021-24 of 12% per year.

In the first six months of 2022, the city had Sunneva Island firstly launched in the second quarter, with 106 units, including villas and townhouses.

The remaining phase from Regal Pavillion contributed 34 shophouses to the whole supply. Currently, the city’s landed property market has 1,624 units (villas, townhouses, shophouses).

In the period of 2019 – 2021, there was no new supply of villas and townhouses; hence, market-wide primary prices kept nearly unchanged, reported at 3,300 USD and 3,450 USD per square metre of land.

Recent launches from Sunneva Island in the first half of this year pushed the price range to 3,780 USD for villas and 3,900 USD per square metre for townhouses. Regal Pavillion was first introduced last year and sold at over 6,500 USD per square metre, thus leading to a two-fold increase in market-wide primary price for the shophouse segment during 2019-2021./.
