Real Estate Japan Inc. is pleased to present this popular series of seminars on buying your dream home in Japan.

In this seminar, we will cover the basics of buying a home, including:

  • The process of buying a home in Japan
  • How to get financing as a foreigner
  • How your residency status can significantly affect financing terms. For example, if you have Permanent Residency (PR) you may be able to buy a home with no money down.
  • Simulations of how the planned consumption tax increase in October 2019 will affect the various components of your final purchase price
  • An overview of Japan’s currently ultra-low interest rate environment and simulations of how your total re-payment amount will change depending on what interest rate you get
  • What to look for when doing a property viewing
  • How to negotiate the purchase price
  • Tax benefits and tax deductions
  • Government subsidies to help with a home purchase

This seminar is designed for foreign residents of Japan.

There will be ample time for questions after the formal presentation. This is a unique opportunity to get unbiased information about the practical aspects of buying a home in Japan.
