Vietnam mortgage rates show divergence as banks launch new incentive programs
The Vietnamese mortgage market is experiencing divergent trends as banks adjust interest rates and buyers adopt more cautious financial strategies.
Some commercial banks have introduced new incentive programs to stimulate demand. Vietcombank has launched a 20,000 billion VND lending package for certified real estate projects, offering rates up to 1% lower than standard rates and loan terms of up to 35 years. VIB is offering fixed interest rates for up to five years, while TPBank is providing margin reductions of up to 1.2% on certain loans.
Conversely, other data indicates rising costs for many borrowers. In August, average 12-24 month fixed mortgage rates at 11 commercial banks were approximately 10.9%. Some institutions, such as VPBank, have seen 12-month fixed rates reach 13.2%, and rates after initial preferential periods can climb to between 13% and 16%.
In response to these fluctuations, homebuyers are shifting their behavior. While 84% of buyers still rely on bank loans, the average loan-to-value ratio has decreased from roughly 70% to a maximum of 50%. Buyers are increasingly prioritizing asset value, cash flow control, and long-term stability over short-term leverage.
