Japan's property is not good to buy because of the shrinking population?: Don't listen to amateurs.

[@bahijarhafiri]

Only if a good amount of folks do what you teach, just imagine how many millionaires we already have or will have in the future. I have been looking at similar opportunities. As Warren Buffet noted, he has witnessed this occur frequently. Never did my husband and I make more money than others in the middle class. With a $250k stock portfolio, we intend to retire at age 58. Never have we ever sold even one share of stock...........

[@GhanYt]

Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look......

Please who is the consultant that assist you with your investment and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with this person

I am going to look her up, I have about $81k i want to start with, might be small but it's better than nothing though. Since the 08 crash is playing out again

I have been looking at properties in Japan in small towns, loads of properties are unsold for a long time, sometimes longer than a year. There is a direct corrolation between the aging population, a market flooded with houses for sales, and low demand. There are a lot of bargain in towns / villages. If one negociate well, pick a property not too far from a train station, is prepared to do some renovations, it may not be a bad purchase as a main residence in my opinion. As for investment should be in large cities mostly, and I agree with Mr Yamamoto that the value of the land would remain high (but don't overpay for the property itself!).

Demand determins the price and not population. However, high population can influence demand assuming the economy is booming and unemployment is low

[@TheSkjoldborg]

I never really considered real estate in Japan from a purely investment perspective. I consider it from a atmosphere, weather, safety perspective. That said, I wonder if it would be possible to look at the possibility of an inflection point. As I understand it, Tokyo, Osaka, etc., see increased demand as more people move to those urban areas while the rural areas see a really significant drop. I wonder, for example, if there is a point at which more people look toward the areas slightly outside of urban areas simply because the difference in price seems to be 10x. I mean if that difference becomes too extreme, I would imagine areas, "hipster havens" if you like, could start a trend of net flow the other way.

Thank you Yamamoto san, you provide great information about the real estate market in Japan.

[@pri2816]

The population is decreasing as a total and decreasing in certain areas but in some places the population is increasing. City centre prefectural capitals should be fine.

[@mrbbkk]

Many buyers have no plans to sell it in their lifetime so not concerned with appreciation over 10 or 20 or even 30 to 50 years. May hold it for 500 years and by global standards, it is cheap.

[@MrFfrenchh]

I am considering buying highrise condo aka "mansion". Is it true that the prices will retain their value if bought in a more desirable area? Desirable areas i am looking at are azabujuban within 5 min walk to train station and above 20th floor, plus another one was in chuo ku by the water but its on 8th floor withing 5 min walk to train station this one i plan on making my place of residence and office whenever i am in tokyo. I am an architect from NYC. I am trying to make sense of the real estate trends and how prices fluctuate

[@MiaogisTeas]

You won't lose too much money, if any. If it is a matter of convenience and a point of pride rather than thinking it will be an investment, you'll be fine. I'd be more worried about taxes and ongoing costs in those areas than the initial prices.

[@MrFfrenchh]

@@MiaogisTeas im actually worried about natural disasters now. Earth quakes on the daily are insane, comine from nyc we don't shake as much as cali or japan. Even tho newer buildings have that seismic absorber springs at the foundation but still worried the big one will hit rite as i buy with my luck.

Music a little lower would be good. 🙏🙏👍🏻👍🏻 it’s too exiting. Haha even drop it out after your intro

[@paulvandriel2344]

Yamamoto san, do you think that the decreasing land prices can be related to de-population of the rural areas? People in Japan tend to migrate to the big cities and urban areas because of the job opportunities, hence a strong decrease in demand for rural land? A disproportional decrease of land prices in rural areas would explain the red line, and not so much the decrease of the Japanese population in general Also, market have the habit to anticipate on future events. Although the recent decrease in Japanese population is apparently not yet alarming, the future looks less bright. The blue line could make a more steep fall in the the upcoming years. The realty market already anticipated in that case. As a thought. What is your opinion about this all?

[@moramoy1]

Thank you for the information Mr Yamamoto. I am still considering buying in Japan within 4 years or less.

[@hamiltonguibord7267]

Thank you for the information Sir Mr Yamamoto property buy the income country and various types papers even though they love with property

[@KevinWhalen]

You only addressed land prices not property prices. It’s a fact that in Japan structures loose their value purely due to the constant battle with natural disaster events. The land might still maintain value but the structures don’t. According to Japan’s own constitution standards association reinforced concrete structures have a life span of roughly 50 years. Who’s going to buy an investment property that’s 30 years old knowing the structure will need to be torn down in 20 years or have so little value that you can’t sell it or pass it on to your children. I’m not claiming to be a “foreign expert” as you say but I do live in Japan and I am an investor with an engineering background. I’d be interested in what your research shows regarding structure values not land values. Not many people are going to rent a property that is older that 35 years especially Japanese residents that know the difference between safety and rent values, especially with a declining population. 28% of the population are over the age of 65 maybe they will live in the older structures but not many of the younger generation will. Foreign investors who don’t know the difference need to know the truth.

[@mjcortez2460]

Don't you think there could be a correlation? such as the "change in population" is directly proportional to "land prices". That's why when the population is increasing, the land prices increased, when the population peaked, land prices moved down. There should be many factors affecting land prices but it is population change is a factor.

[@kynchan3332]

If more debt is created property prices will rise, regardless of demand, in developed countries. Now, lets say debt is destroyed property prices will fall more in line with real demand.

[@atari2969]

This is all based on one graph? More data is required, more variables and more sources.

I have always thought Japanese’s apartment prices will crash. Not land. Two very different creatures in Japan. Population will crash after baby boomers. Land world wide is rising

[@zurinarctus1329]

Don't try to play real estate game in Japan unless you have a lot of money. The Chinese already dominated the field long ago, while American equity firms are also raising the stakes. I do believed Japanese real estate still have value but you need a lot of money and times to make your assets worthwhile. The Covid Depression crushed Japan very hard, so the Chinese and Americans are swiftly buying Japanese real estate assets for cheap. This is also a chance of a lifetime. Thanks to Abenomics, Shinzo Abe pretty much sold Japan to wealthy foreign investors.

[@MiaogisTeas]

You must be young. You'll learn, but likely only after it's way too late and you've destroyed everything beautiful and worthwhile in your life. Then you'll be sad and lonely, on top of being a pathetic worm.
