Latest propertery price trend data for Japan was released today.
For the 12th consecutive year it's declining !
I've been in Japan 5 years and as far as I remember every year the trend is 5% down, well this year it was 5.8%.
I view it pretty similar to the Japanese stock market and business .. oops I mean politics here. They are STILL too scared to bite the bullet, let the fallout come and the strong survive, then rebiuld. It's all about trying to avoid the inevitable ... which only drags it out and probably deepens the final bottom abeiit delays it.
I've heard that the yield for apartments in Osaka are at 10%.
But with the gain being actually negative it's still a bit dicey for my money. It's bit of a sobering thought for those who are always overly optermistic about prices always going up.
God knows where to call the bottom !
(actually she probably doesn't know)
