Markets reads the Japanese real estate market through data and primary sources. It covers market indicators such as land prices, rents and transaction volumes, redevelopment plans, and area-by-area supply-and-demand analysis. It is written for investors, owners and practitioners deciding whether to buy now or wait, and which areas are likely to appreciate. Rather than gut feeling, we cross-check published statistics against on-the-ground observation from our brokerage and management work, and explain why prices and rents move and the structural forces behind them.
