For instance, since early 2003, real estate costs in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 have doubled. Apartment going for about US $ 1,800 per square meter have sold out in a few months. Prices are ten times what they were when Vietnam first opened up.
以胡志明市第一郡為例，從 2003 年迄今，房價已經漲了 2 倍，每平方米售價 1,800 美元（一坪約台幣 20 萬元）的公寓大樓，幾個月內就銷售一空。
