This paper investigates factors affecting the profitability of real estate firms in Vietnam by using data of 55 real estate firms listed on Hochiminh and Hanoi stock exchanges over the period 2010-2018. The study applies estimation using panel data which consists of Pooled Regression model (POLS), Fixed Effects model (FEM) and Random effects model (REM). Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) is also implemented to resolve some problems such as autocorrelation among the residuals, heteroscedasticity and other potential endogenous problems. In this study, firm profitability is measured by return on assets. Like earlier studies, the findings indicate that the factors determining firm profitability were leverage, age of the firm, current ratio and inflation rate. Moreover, the results also show the impact of economic growth rate on firm profitability. The paper of-fers strong implications for the authorities, real estate firms as well as investors.

The demand for property increases every year in line with the population growth in Indonesia. Moreover, the society believes that investing in the property will have future benefits since there is an expectation of an increase in strong middle-class consumer spending made to the residential business segment and also urban society demands for apartments and condominiums. Loans and mortgages are often made by both owners and developers in order to own the property. Therefore, this study investigates the impacts of financial liquidity and leverage on the financial performance of the Indonesian property and real estate enterprises. The study considers three (3) selected companies listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange LQ 45 (IDX LQ 45) over period five (5) years (2012- 2016). The secondary data are obtained from the financial statement (comprehensive income statement and statement of financial position) of selected property and real estate companies listed on IDX. This data is analyzed by using the regression analysis; the t-statistics and F significance ANOVA were used to test the hypothesis. The result of the analysis show that Current Ratio (CR) and Debt-Asset Ratio (DAR) had a negative relationship with Return on Assets (ROA) while Times Interest Earned (TIE) had a positive relationship with ROA in Indonesia property and real estate industry.

The Indonesian real estate market has shown promising development in recent years, attracting investors seeking lucrative opportunities. This research aims to increase the success rate of real estate investments in Indonesia by examining the connection between macroeconomic factors and consumer behavior. This study employs vector autoregression (VAR) models to investigate the influence of macroeconomic data on the Indonesian house price index (HPI). We intend to determine the primary determinants of the HPI by analyzing various macroeconomic indicators, including GDP growth, CPI, crude oil, interest rates, and the unemployment rate. In addition, the research investigates the role of consumer behavior in Indonesian real estate searches. Real estate developers and investors can gain valuable insight into the effect of consumer preferences, motivations, and decision-making processes on demand functions by understanding consumer preferences, incentives, and decision-making processes. A comprehensive analysis of historical data and econometric modeling techniques are employed to accomplish research objectives. The research is conducted using pertinent macroeconomic indicators, real estate market data, and consumer surveys.

Based on the financial statements of real estate companies listed on Vietnamese stock market, the study has been conducted on factors affecting capital structure. The paper uses GLS (generalized least squared) estimation method related to panel data as well as testing to select the most appropriate model. Research results show that profitable real estate businesses, the ratio of fixed assets to total assets and the number of years of operation have a negative effect on capital structure. In contrast, renewable energy, size and growth are three factors that have positive effects on capital structure. In addition, the corporate income tax rate does not affect the capital structure decisions of real estate businesses. Through research, recommendations for the real estate business executives have been proposed to build an effective capital structure.

The real estate and construction industry have significantly played a particularly important role in economic development in each economy. In the case of Vietnam, the real estate and construction industry have greatly contributed a large proportion to the gross domestic product (GDP) growth with a sustainable annual growth.

Using 220 real estate and construction firms in the case of Vietnam, results depict that a greater ability of managers in the real estate and construction sector will significantly enhance the efficiency of businesses. In addition, a larger firm can reach a higher firm efficiency while the efficiency of the real estate and construction firms is not impacted by changes of wage minimum policy.

Jordanian real estate enterprises are experiencing difficult market circumstances and an increasingly competitive environment; following these issues, this study examines the leverage of electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) on customer purchase intention in a Jordanian context with specific reference to real estate enterprises, considering the moderating role of reliability. Based on earlier studies, a conceptual model for the study was created. This research includes e-WOM as an independent variable affecting customers' purchase intention as a dependent variable mediated by reliability. The investigation follows descriptive-analytical methods; based on a convenience sampling approach, 300 questionnaires were distributed through Google Forms; nonetheless and 250 responses were accepted. To analyze data and assess hypotheses, a structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using PLS was employed. Results demonstrated a significant effect of e-WOM and Reliability on purchasing intent of customers, and the moderating role of reliability in the relationship between e-WOM and purchase intent was also affirmed. The findings give Jordanian real estate businesses information on ways to use that are most effective e-WOM to persuade buyers to buy.
