As many as 130 overseas Vietnamese living in foreign countries have bought houses in Vietnam, mainly in Ho Chi Minh City, since a new decree allowing overseas Vietnamese to buy houses took effect, according to the Construction Ministry. Overseas Vietnamese who have bought houses in the homeland mainly fall into four categories: investors, scientists, people with contributions to Vietnam and those repatriating. The Construction Ministry hopes that the number of overseas Vietnamese buying houses in the homeland will go up in the future. At the mean time, a huge number of overseas Vietnamese are returning home for the Lunar New Year 2008.
