Not near road/city center. Opposite house is a river.

2.5 hrs from HCMC to the main street, 30min motor ride into her hometown.
Will always pass by Long An and Can Tho before reaching Tien Giang...


Bro, Tien Giang will pass by Long An but not Can Tho. I am confused, Tien Giang need not 2.5 hrs from HCMC la, around 1 hour plus (if got a bit of traffic jam) can reach roi. If you talk about another GIANG that passes by Can Tho, then its An Giang. But An Giang needs around 5 hrs to reach.

u imagine, Long An's land value increased by 10 folds (1000%) for the past 2 years, and tien giang is just after Long An. . From my last knowledge of land value in Tien Giang's main road, its well over US$1000 per m2. any land in that area of Tien Giang but not on main road is also going above US$650 per m2. But the thing is, buying properties in VN is by Taels of Gold. If you buy at a time when gold prices are high, then you will pay more. But gold prices in VN is always higher than world gold prices. So depending on how many taels of gold the land going for, then take the market price for one tael of gold mulitply by the number of taels of gold the owner asking for.

Please also do note that Padi fields tend to fetch prices around 20% to 30% lower than normal land.

Just my limited knowledge. If others know, please share share also.
