Year-end cash flow coordinates: Satellite urban villas attract investment waves
In the context of the primary supply of townhouses and villas in Ho Chi Minh City continuing to be scarce, with prices reaching a peak of up to 700 billion VND/unit, projects from reputable investors in satellite urban areas, adjacent to the inner city are creating strong attraction.
The focus of the new growth cycle
Positive growth forecasts for GDP in 2024 from financial institutions have sparked optimism among investors. However, which basket to allocate money to is something that needs careful consideration at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025.
Looking back at the developments of investment channels in the past 10 months, gold is still considered a "basket" of unpredictable fluctuations, depending heavily on geopolitical factors. Mr. Tran Duc Anh - Director of Macroeconomics and Market Strategy, KB Securities Vietnam (KBSV) said that the current gold price is at a high level (gold rings have increased by more than 40% since the beginning of the year), so he recommends that investors should not invest in gold in 2025.
Meanwhile, the stock market is constantly diverging, requiring investors to have expertise. Savings deposits are still the preferred channel for people because of the safety of cash flow, however, the current interest rate is considered the least attractive from 2021 to present. The average interest rate for a 6-month deposit is 3.5%, and 4.9% for a 1-year term.
Therefore, real estate, especially townhouses and villas, is still an attractive "safe and secure" investment channel when the market is entering a recovery cycle. According to DKRA's report, in the third quarter of 2024, the supply and primary consumption of townhouses and villas increased by 16% and 6.8 times, respectively, compared to the same period last year.
Dr. Nguyen Van Dinh, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Real Estate Association, commented that in the 2024-2030 period, the Southern real estate market is accelerating the recovery process with the driving force from new supply. In the short term, supply is expected to grow strongly from the fourth quarter of 2024, with many options mainly from new localities, where there is a lot of land fund and room for growth, and modern infrastructure development policies. In particular, places with the appearance of large projects from leading real estate developers will have a large population and a stable, regular flow of customers, ensuring a sustainable profitable cash flow. Dr. Dinh estimated that the value of real estate in satellite urban areas will increase by an average of about 10% per year.
With its strategic infrastructure location, direct connection between Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta, rapid economic development, and good FDI attraction policies of the province, Long An real estate is the focus of investment attraction.

| Waterpoint is one of the outstanding projects in the Long An real estate market recently. |
Villas by the river, along the canal – the property channel of the upper class
Considered the “promised land” of “eagles”, Long An has continuously welcomed major projects from many real estate enterprises in recent times. This has contributed to promoting the professional and sustainable real estate form of Long An, while at the same time creating an important launching pad for existing projects and urban areas, ready to welcome a new cycle. Waterpoint – a 355ha integrated urban area developed by Nam Long and Japanese partner Nishi Nippon Railroad is one of them.
The first attraction of Waterpoint is its location as the western gateway, the center of the satellite urban system of Ho Chi Minh City, just over 30 minutes from District 1 center, easy to connect inter-regionally via Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong expressway, National Highway 1A... The location of the urban area is also the intersection of many key inter-regional infrastructure projects such as Ring Road 3, Ring Road 4, Ben Luc - Long Thanh expressway... which are being accelerated.
The next factor that creates a distinct value for Waterpoint is the diverse, “all-in-one” utility ecosystem that is being completed every day, increasing the value of experience and real estate value within the urban area. It is known that the Waterpoint utility system is built to meet the needs of 30,000 residents. Currently, a series of high-class utilities such as a 3-hectare sports and event complex, cycling track, jogging track, international bilingual school, food supermarket, general clinic... have been put into operation, quickly meeting the needs of living, studying, working, shopping, and entertainment.

The attraction of this metropolis also lies in the harmonious natural living environment, spacious and fresh in the context of rapid urbanization, aiming for sustainable development according to world trends. Waterpoint possesses many impressive planning indicators such as a construction density of only 23%, nearly 100 hectares of green space and water surface, 5.8 km of river surrounding the urban area, which has been renovated throughout the urban development process.
For smart investors and the upper class who always see opportunities in the future, villas and townhouses in an ecosystem of services and utilities that are constantly being improved not only bring a high-class, quality living environment but also possess a sustainable potential asset accumulation channel.
For example, the most expensive collection of riverside and canalside villas at Waterpoint, part of The Aqua compound and Park Village compound, is attracting attention in the last months of 2024.
Possessing many outstanding advantages from prime location; exclusive selected utility system, these products satisfy the "taste" of the upper class for a luxurious residence, with its own mark and worthy of being a family heirloom.

The Aqua villa products are being introduced with prices starting from 10 billion VND/unit, Park Village European villas starting from 17 billion VND/unit - an attractive competitive price in the context of the primary selling price of townhouses and villas continuously reaching new peaks in recent times. In Ho Chi Minh City, the highest price is up to 700 billion VND/unit, Dong Nai reaches 228.5 billion VND/unit, Binh Duong is 45.5 billion VND. With the Park Village villa product, the investor is implementing a special incentive, customers who buy a house will be given a Mercedes Benz GLC 200 worth 2 billion VND.
Nam Long's addition of quality products with valuable incentives at the end of the year not only strengthens investor confidence but also creates momentum for the next "wave-leading" phase of the emerging satellite real estate market such as Long An.
