Ho Chi Minh City's market is currently characterized by a supply-side squeeze in the luxury segment and a strategic pivot toward suburban residential developments.

Our verdict is that HCMC is a resilient 'Accumulate' market, offering high yields for those willing to look beyond the congested city center toward the emerging Thu Duc City corridor.
