Illustration photo. Photo: VNA Experts noted that while the first quarter of 2021 recorded some positive signals for real estate recovery, May and June’s increase in coronavirus cases has put a dampener on the national economy and the real estate market in particular. Nevertheless, the latest outbreaks may still create an opportunity for real estate developers who have proved their value and strength in quality products. With social distancing and different measures being utilised to combat the pandemic, investors are being prevented from entering or leaving the country.
