In order to achieve the goal of sustainable development of the real estate market, besides the state management, the role of the business community and investors is indispensable. The locality continues to complete administrative procedures in order to improve the efficiency of state management, while removing difficulties and creating open conditions for the real estate market in order to promote and manage the real estate market to develop stably, sustainably and healthy.

And, it is necessary to transparenlty make public the real estate projects to create conditions for well-qualified investors to invest in the construction of real estate projects in the province and to develop various types of real estate, creating good market liquidity. Moreover, setting regulations on the structure of housing types, diversifying types of products right from the stage of project planning and approval, etc., are also important.
