1. What is real estate?
Currently, most countries classify national assets into two types: real estate and movable property, however, the concept of real estate has specific differences. What is a relatively unifying point in the concept of real estate projects? Real estate includes assets that cannot be moved and are attached to land.
According to Article 181 of the Civil Code of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in 2005, real estate is defined as immovable property, including:
– Land.
– Houses and construction works attached to the land, including assets linked to those houses and construction works.
– Other assets attached to the land.
– Other assets as stipulated by law.
According to the “Financial Terminology Dictionary,” real estate is defined as a piece of land and all physical assets attached to it.
From this, it can be understood that real estate is primarily a type of asset, but unlike other assets, it cannot be moved. In this sense, real estate includes land and the assets attached to it, which cannot be separated from the land and are determined by their geographical location.
2. What is real estate investment?
Real estate investment represents a form of business that involves trading real estate products to generate profits. In addition to buying and selling and taking advantage of price differences, real estate investment also includes activities such as leasing, construction, management and product renovation.
However, there are two investment trends in the market that easily cause confusion for new investors: speculation and investment. Speculation is a form of buying assets with the goal of reselling them at a higher price in the near future, often occurring when the market lacks supply to meet customer needs. Investors will buy large amounts of real estate, known as “stockpiling,” to push prices higher. They then sell the asset to profit from the price difference.
Speculation is based on the situation where prices rise sharply in the market, allowing speculators to realize significant profits immediately; however, it does not contribute to actual value growth. Typically, this activity lasts for only a short period.
In contrast, investment is a form in which investors rely on analyzing the potential development of a project or product in the future, along with considering the realities of the market, to make investment decisions or choose not to invest.
