Ho Chi Minh City - July 9, 2025 - Rentapartment Agency, one of the leading businesses to provide rental apartments to expatriates in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), recently shared current trends in the rental market, the issues it is facing as a result of global shifts, and measures aimed toward achieving recovery in the near term.
The Current Challenges in the Apartment Rental Market
In HCMC, the apartment rental market is experiencing a dip in demand, particularly from expatriates. This slump is being fueled by the most recent changes in US tax regimes, heightened foreign investment caution, and evolving geopolitical tensions. All of these changes seem to be making some tenants and investors shy away from moving to Vietnam.
“Fewer American expatriates visiting Vietnam has especially contributed to a quieter segment of the market,” stated Peter Hoang, Founder of Rentpartment Agnecy. “We believe this is temporary, and we are preparing for the market to recover."
At the same time, rent prices for mid- to high-end apartments have increased by 5–15% in key areas like District 4 and District 7. This is mainly because demand for well-located, quality housing remains strong, but supply is limited.
Opportunities Amidst the Challenges
Even with short term issues, Rentaparment Agency is optimistic about the future of the apartment rental market in Ho Chi Minh City. International companies and locals are actively in the market to lease premium apartments. In addition, foreign direct investment (FDI) has drastically increased by 2.4 times in Vietnam’s real estate within the first half of 2025 as compared to the last year’s period, showing interest.
“Local clients and firms shifting their employees to Vietnam are showing us the first signs of improvement. Moreover, we expect the foreign interest to flow in as the global landscape stabilizes,” Hoang said.
Rentapartment Agency’s Solutions and Strategies for Market Recovery
In response to this, Rentapartment Agency is leveling up rental convenience with less stringent policies and lower prices. These policies include lower initial deposits, short-term leases, and fully furnished apartments. The firm is also providing extra assistance to businesses and expatriates with customized packages tailored to their relocation needs.
“Currently, working collaboratively with tenants to fit their schedule is imperative regardless of whether they are staying for a few months or planning to settle long-term,” added Hoang.
Preparing for 2026: A Bright Future for the Apartment Rental Market
For its part, Rentapartment Agency estimates that the apartment rental market within HCMC will fully recover by 2026, as the Vietnam economy continues to expand and government policies attract more foreign investments, leading to a higher influx of expatriates and international firms.
Hoang stated, “We are confident in the future of the rental market. With the right planning and clear service orientation, Rentapartment Agency is poised to satisfy the demand of local and international clients during the next phase of growth.”
