Real Estate Japan is pleased to present our first ever webinar on how to sell residential property in Japan.

As Japan and the rest of the world continue to be impacted by COVID-19, what should owners of residential real estate, including residential investment properties, know about the market and should you consider selling your property in this environment?

We’re faced with a lot of uncertainty as the worldwide pandemic is still unfolding, but objectively, we know that interest rates in Japan remain at historic lows and demand for more spacious homes is increasing as people pivot to working-from-home. At the same time, supply of new condominiums remains tight, while sales of pre-owned apartments and single-family homes have recently spiked. If you have been thinking about selling your property, is now a good time to sell?

In this webinar, we will be presenting objective, practical information about the market, selling process, and more.

This will be a co-presentation by GPlusMedia (the parent company of Real Estate Japan) and Re/Max IREA.

We will be covering the following topics:

  • Presented by GPlusMedia
    • The Japanese real estate market
    • How to set the asking price
      • Comparison method
      • Capitalization method
      • Depreciation method
    • Steps to selling property in Japan
    • 3 different types of real estate agent agreements
    • Taxes and other fees when you sell property in Japan
  • Presented by Re/Max IREA
    • Real estate market in the Kanto area (Tokyo, Saitama, Kanagawa, Chiba)
    • Flow of real estate sales
    • How property value changes as property a property ages
    • What to know about real estate appraisal in Japan
    • How to set the asking price, advice from an agent
    • What to prepare if you want to sell fast, at the highest price
    • Sale case study
