The transition is messy.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Developers are keeping headline prices \u201chigh\u201d to protect comparables and loan covenants, but the market is clearing via aggressive incentives and off-book frictions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Credit is no longer \u2018available by default.\u2019 The big four banks have tightened the spigot, and policy is explicit: real estate credit growth in 2026 should not outrun system-wide credit growth.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The listed sector\u2019s inventory stack is enormous (hundreds of trillions of VND).
