The Challenge of Unsold Vacant Houses

In recent years, Japan has witnessed a significant rise in the number of vacant houses, with current statistics estimating about 8.49 million vacant homes across the country as per the 2023 Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications survey. Despite this staggering number, many homes remain unsold, often due to a variety of challenging circumstances that hinder their sale. The upcoming seminar organized by SA Corporation aims to delve into this pressing issue, exploring the reasons behind the phenomenon of unsold properties and offering actionable solutions.

The seminar, titled "The Latest Trends in Vacant House Sales: Why Are There Differentiations Between Sellable and Unsellable Homes?" will take place on June 22, 2025, at the SA Corporation headquarters located in Chiyoda, Tokyo. Led by renowned real estate appraisers Yasuhiko Sakai and Hidekazu Tanaka, the seminar will draw insights from over 10,000 consultations the company has provided over the years, focusing specifically on problematic properties.

Understanding the Reasons for Unsold Properties

Every year, countless properties become classified as unsellable by real estate companies. This categorization is often due to several factors. For instance:

• - Age of the Property: Many homes may be too old to attract buyers.
• - Legal Complications: Issues such as lack of access roads, ambiguous boundaries, or unresolved ownership from deceased relatives can complicate sales.
• - Multiple Heirs: When properties are passed on to several heirs, disagreements can arise, preventing a sale.

Such properties often end up being neglected within the vacant house bank systems, marking them as challenging markets.
