According to experts, the reason for the land "fever" is that the epidemic has not ended yet, greatly affecting production and business, causing difficulties for businesses, even losses. Meanwhile, there is still a lot of capital in the people, many investors and people have started to shift to real estate business, causing the market to gradually "heat up".

According to records in some areas in Yen Thanh district, land trading activities are quite active. Mr. Nguyen Van Trinh in Nam Thanh commune said: Never before have I seen so many people interested in the real estate market as today. Recently, on March 8, I bought a plot of land in Vien Thanh commune worth 1.5 billion VND, but on March 11, someone offered up to 1.7 billion VND. Along National Highway 48E in Son Thanh commune during Tet, the land plots cost about 1.4 billion VND, but now the price has jumped to over 2 billion VND/plot (160 m²⁾.

Land auctions were equally exciting. Recently, Bac Thanh commune organized an auction of 22 land lots, the lowest starting price was 1.9 billion VND, the highest was over 3.2 billion VND/lot, in the auction there were hundreds of applications. After the auction, the revenue was over 66 billion VND, the highest winning lot was 3.9 billion VND, after the auction 100% no one canceled the deposit.

The representative of the Yen Thanh District Finance Department added: Due to the effects of invested or prepared projects, the land segment is more "attractive". For example, in Yen Thanh area, projects are being implemented: Bac Thanh Commune Leather Shoe Factory, Lien Thanh Commune Garment Factory, Yen Thanh Town Rice Export Processing Zone, areas with factories, land prices are pushed up. In the first 3 months of 2022 alone, Yen Thanh district has collected 132 billion VND in land use rights fees, reaching 60.5% of the province's estimate.

Next to Dien Chau district, land prices are also skyrocketing. According to some "land tycoons" in this locality: Land in Dien My commune near the market, near the school... during Tet, the price is 1.7 billion VND/lot (100m²), currently priced at 2.1 billion VND/plot. The representative of Dien My Commune People's Committee said: Since the Nam Thuan Garment Factory project was implemented in the area, the price of rural land has increased dramatically, land on the main road of the commune is priced from 3 - 3.5 billion VND/plot.

In Do Luong district, in early 2022, the district organized an auction of 90 land lots in Con Leu field, Do Luong town, with over 300 participating applications, the land price collected was 250 billion VND, the starting price was from 1.2 - 1.6 billion VND after the auction was pushed up to 2.5 - 3.5 billion VND/lot.

In addition to the increase in auctioned land, land in projects has also increased. In Hai Van urban area, Dien Ngoc commune, Dien Chau, the price during Tet was 13 million VND/m2, now it has increased to 15-17 million VND/m2.², corner lots, business lots reach 20 million VND/m2²...

Through research, it is found that there are currently many investment groups "hunting" for land throughout the province. These investment groups are mainly composed of close friends, brothers, and relatives who contribute capital. The group's motto is to close the deal when there is a profit, and the investment target is about 2-3 months, at the latest 1 year. At land auctions in Yen Thanh, Quynh Luu districts... we witnessed the land "hunting" groups in Dien Chau district having a very high winning rate. For example, in the land auction in Khanh Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district, there were over 30 plots of land, and this group won the auction for over 20 plots of land.

A member of this group shared: Before auctioning land, we go to the place to survey and grasp the situation to "determine the price", and often offer a higher price, so the winning rate is high. After winning the auction, we resell the land lots for profit.

Some other groups that specialize in "land hunting" are located in low-lying areas, prices have not fluctuated much, only about 2-3 million VND/m2.², but according to assessment, the potential is mainly in the mountainous districts of Nghia Dan, Anh Son, Thanh Chuong...

Mr. Nguyen The Phiet - Head of Housing and Market Management Departmentreal estate, Nghe An Department of Construction said: The "heated up" rural land auction market has also led to an increase in real estate projects in Nghe An. However, some auctioned lands are being pushed up too high in price, while project land is also increasing but more slowly. The view of real estate project investors is to invest in a sustainable way, so they increase prices slowly so that project land buyers can also make a profit.

According to Mr. Nguyen The Phiet, to control speculation and increase land prices, relevant sectors and local authorities need to inspect and review the conversion and division of plots, strictly manage real estate finance and credit; supervise real estate projects; and at the same time, manage brokers to control real estate prices, not allowing the situation of "pushing" prices to continue. Relevant sectors need to make transparent planning projects, progress of infrastructure development projects, and real estate projects to prevent the phenomenon of spreading rumors and speculation to push up prices.

According to real estate experts, at this time, people need to consider investing real capital and limit the use of credit loans to minimize risks./.
