The Impact of Rising New Home Prices on the Used Housing Market and the Role of Recommender PRO

In recent years, the real estate market in Japan has witnessed a significant surge in new home prices, particularly in the Tokyo metropolitan area. This escalation has inadvertently revitalized the used housing market, leading to fierce competition in the procurement sector for companies engaged in the buying and resale of residential property. To assist businesses in navigating these turbulent changes, Estate Technologies Inc., with its headquarters in Shibuya, Tokyo, has launched a revolutionary service called "Recommender PRO."

Understanding the Market Landscape

The rising prices of newly constructed condominiums have altered the dynamics of the used housing market. According to the Real Estate Economic Institute, the average price of new condominiums in the capital region is projected to reach ¥91.82 million by 2025, with areas within the 23 wards of Tokyo estimated at approximately ¥136.13 million. These price points indicate a robust demand that is driving up interest in existing homes, including renovated properties.

Data from the East Japan Real Estate Information Network highlights that sales transactions for used condominiums in 2025 are expected to hit 49,114 units, marking a 31.9% increase from the previous year. Furthermore, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has noted that as new home prices remain high, the appeal for existing homes and renovated residences is steadily growing.

Challenges in Procurement

Amidst these market changes, property procurement professionals are faced with numerous challenges that make traditional methods of assessment increasingly inadequate. For example, the reliance on personal experience or past market comparisons fails to yield accurate evaluations due to rapid price fluctuations. Traditional approaches involving the review of several real estate portal websites not only increase workloads but also heighten the risk of losing valuable property opportunities if actions are delayed.
